1. 6th man-Simons (White/Sexton), for THJ, Powell, Hardy, '25 first. I may reconsider this based off of Hardy's readiness and production in the finals.
2. SF/PF-Vanderbilt for Maxi, 2 second round picks. Mavs get younger and more offensively versatile player if he learns to shoot.
Kyrie/Simons
Luka/Green
DJJ/Omax
PJW/Vanderbilt
Gafford/Lively
That squad has multi year championship window.
That is not going to be enough for Simons and probably not for Sexton either. I don't know that we want to spend all of our assets and that much cap on a 6th man, and I seriously doubt either of those guys has any interest in being a 6th man.
There is little evidence that Vanderbilt will learn how to shoot. He does most of his work at the rim. Not sure he is a good fit offensively on this team. I also doubt Lakers are interested in pairing oft injured Davis with oft injured Maxi.
My guess is that by next season Lively will be the first name on the center rotation.
