Why each team should explore this deal:

For Indiana - they see enough from Bennedict Mathurin, Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson to commit to strengthening center by committee. A 3-headed beast of Sharpe, Huff, and IJax costs a combined $15 million against the cap. This move frees up $8 million in cap for them to invest in Benn Mathurin. Additionally, it allows them to draft BPA in 2026.

For Brooklyn - They are a perfect team to give Walker the room he needs to grow. He flashes, but is still young enough to get a long look. They consolidate some 2nds to upgrade into a first in 2027 giving them ammunition for future legit moves.
