Lakers get Defensive anchor off the bench, Magic get scoring off the bench

Got this trade idea from Lakers Legacy, credits to them.

Lakers take a risk on Jonathan Isaac and take on his 15 million dollar contract, but get the 25th in which they can draft a center for the future. Jonathan Isaac is an injury prone forward, but has the ability to shut down guys like Giannis and the like. Lakers take a risk on him, banking on his defensive ability and can be that anchor off the bench rather than relying on Vanderbilt's offensive atrocities. They also get the 25th pick for taking on Isaac's contract and injury risk, where they can draft a center like Maxime Raynaud or draft the best guy at that pick.

Magic gets needed shooting off the bench. Dalton is still about 24 and has the leeway to improve defensively, and with defensive oriented players surrounded around him he can definitely improve defensively. He can provide needed shooting off the bench, while having teammates that can provide defense to take care of his defensive weaknesses for now. The Magic don't trade a lot here, as they only trade Isaac and the 25th pick, meaning they still have assets to trade for a point guard that can shoot and playmake a bit like Anfernee Simons
