-I don't have an opinion on Toppin but he was the 8th overall pick.
I'm not sure it's equitable but I'd want Toppin and the protections removed or reworked (is that possible? If it doesn't convey in '23, have it convert to a SRP?) on the '23 pick.
Random thoughts:
-Losing Maxi and JB means you are punting on this season.
-I hate the thought of picking players who will work great with KP. KP is not who we should be building around.

This is an excellent point, though I do think Toppin would blend well with Luka also. Toppin should turn into a wonderful rim runner and a good 3 point shooter. He has great athleticism but is still a bit raw. His recent play has been better...he seems to be improving. In addition to Toppin being a projection, the biggest issue (as you mention) with this trade is the potential loss of this season as a contending threat. That is something I am leary of as well. I just do NOT want to lose JB for nothing in return. I am 70% convinced he is gone if we wait until the off-season. I see this trade as one to consider.......I like your idea of getting the protections removed.
