Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

This makes zero sense for Dallas. Hield is perhaps worth a late FRP. Mavs have no need for him. Even if they send out just Bertans, it doesn't really improve them, as Mavs need defenders first.

What else could be coming Mavs way to make any sense to do this, assuming #10 is involved?

Maybe trade down? 
Bertans to Raptors, Hield to Mavs, OG to Pacers. 7th and 10th to Raptors and 13th to Dallas? Maybe Indiana can eat Bertans contract too 

Why for Mavs? Save 5M in 24/25 season, get an actual rotation player for Bertans, free THJ for future trade. All on the expense of trading 3 spots down? 

Pacers: get their guy, they want to compete,  OG makes them playoff team if they stay healthy.

Raptors, they get 7th, 10th for OG and 13th, allow them to free rotation for Barnes. 

I would say it is good deal overall.  Maybe Raptors could get more though
