I´d actually go the other way. I´d offer the Heat Bertans for Robinson and the 20th pick this year. See if they bite. Draft Hendricks at #10, Lively at #20 and I´d even look to add another late 1st round pick for former top 5 highschool recruit Dariq Whitehead now projected to go very late 1st round. Maybe the Pacers take Theis + McConnell + #29 for THJ. That creates the necessary minutes for Green, Hardy. Maybe a Wood/Vucevic S&T redemption for both.

....and after all that we still got the 2027 pick and an exception.
I think that would be kind of the Lakers trade deadline move, where you silently upgrade so many positions rather than make a splash move.
Robinson > Bertans
Vucevic > Wood
Theis > Powell
Hardy/Green need to replace THJ´s production, which I think they can. You add three rookie with potential in Hendricks, Lively and Whitehead. Hendricks/Lively should be a good offense/defense fit with Vucevic.
