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.
Doncic/Hardy/McConnell
Irving/Green/Lawson
Bullock/Robinson/Whitehead
Hendricks/Kleber/Theis
Vucevic/Lively/McGee
....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.
The Heat would jump all over that deal. Mavs shouldn't. Bertans only has one fully guaranteed year remaining, whereas Robinson is considered the second worst contract in the league. The Mavs would get hosed only getting back #20.
