LAKERS let me explain. Ayton was a good signing in the summer for what the market was at that time and the contract he signed, also i think he has helped us a lot, but he is not the type of center this team needs. This team needs a atletic lob threat, rim-protector and anchor of the team basicly a improved version of Jaxson Hayes, aka Nic Claxton or something similar to what Lively and Gafford are. Also needs atletic wings who can defend and score next to Luka & Reaves, but this is more difficult to get know and in the summer with 2 FRP in the draft day will be more affordable. But Mathurin, can be that guy if he comitts to defends because he has the atleticism and body to do it and he is still young, also adding Highsmith (who can be that DFS type of wing) and Ziaire will help, 2 defensive wings. Because LaRavia has been playing well in that role but i think he is a better coming off the bench like Rui, who is his best role.

* PG LUKA | SMART | BRONNY

* SG REAVES | MATHURIN | NSJ

* SF HIGHSMITH | LARAVIA | ZIAIRE | THIERO

* PF LEBRON | RUI

* CT CLAXTON | HAYES

PACERS 2 years ago they wanted Ayton and i think he is a good fit for them and for the style they play he will get more touches and will be more involved in the team, also they get something for Mathurin, who they dont want, and they get a starting center who they dont have in a cheap deal. Also i think Ayton will like the idea to play with Haliburton

NETS maybe change the 2030 FRP SWAP to the 2032 FRP SWAP. But the idea is to bet on Day'ron Sharpe as the future starting center and keep getting picks and expirings to liberate salary cap to keep rebuilding. Maybe they can send Vando to another team now that he is shooting well and its a defensive wing.
