I think if the Lakers go for Claxton, the Nets have the leverage in the negotiation because they don't need to get rid of him and there are few starting Cs available on the market. If I were the Nets, I'd only accept something like that.

The Lakers free up $8 million in salary, two roster spots, and add 1 FRP from this draft, in which they would select a backup C or someone to replace Hachimura's production.
