Mavs get Turner (S/T $27.6 per/4 years), Mathurin, Toppin, Knect, #27, 2027 1st (top 3 protected) and 2029 1st (top 3 protected), swaps with Lakers in 2026, 2028 and an unprotected 2031 1st
Pacers get AD
Lakers get Lively
Nets get Jarace Walker and Jaden Hardy
The 2027 Pacers pick will likely be in the mid 20s, but 2029 could be something
*This trade cuts $12 mil off payroll
The Mavs would be flush movable contracts with future picks to get whoever they want (Stepien rule considered)
Mavs/Lakers 2026
Pacers 2027
Mavs/Lakers 2028
Pacers 2029, Lakers 2029
Mavs 2030, post swap
Mavs 2031, Lakers 2031
I like the framework. Not sure they get that big of haul (for example the Lakers 3031 pick would almost certainly come with protections) as both of the outgoing Mavs pieces have injury concerns.
