The Pacers are on the cusp of being real contenders for the title, and a trade like this could catapult them into that top tier in the east. They already have a superstar in Haliburton, so surround him with dynamic two way players could make them an elite, balanced team.

Step one is resigning Siakam. He has been a great fit for them so far, and all reports indicate he is a near lock to resign for a max contract extension.

Step two is trading for a pair of New York wings in Bridges and DFS. These are two guys who can space the floor and keep the offense high scoring, but also bring top tier perimeter defense as well.

From there, they can resign Toppin, and still have access to the NTPMLE to get another bench piece.

Their rotation could look like:

Haliburton/Bridges/DFS/Siakam/Turner with McConnell/Nembhard/Sheppard/Toppin/Jackson (could also start Nembhard instead of DFS if they want more ball handling/creation). This would be an absolutely elite defensive team, who can score from anywhere, and would still have good players off the bench and some additional moves they could make down the line.

The Nets on the other hand get a group of very solid young players with upside like Neismith and Walker, and the main prize is Mathurin, who has shown flashes of being a top tier scorer, and could thrive in a new situation. They also get some draft capital as well.
