Trade makes sense for all 3.
Carolina is definitely more cup desperate than Colorado, so I can see why they’d go for a superstar rental (and heck, might be able to re-sign him).
Colorado gets more cost controlled assets and depth.
And for Chicago, getting their third round pick back (arguably a 2nd round and a half pick given how high it will be) for Hall is a good get. Any time you can trade a rental for picks ahead of the deadline, you take it.
