Mavs get a franchise center for a future first round pick. They move on from their current center rotation. Losing Powell is tough because he's been a stable presence in Dallas, but his role would be minimized with Ayston, and his expiring deal is attractive to rebuilding teams looking to clear cap space.

Suns move Ayton's deal for VanVleet and Wood, plus the return of backup center Javale McGee. They have the flexibility of resigning VanVleet and Wood or clearing cap space this summer. Both additions should help keep them relevant in the Western Conference standings.

Raptors move VanVleet for future cap space and picks. They bring in a couple of vets on reasonable expiring deals who might be good fits if they want to re-sign in the summer. Powell, specifically, is a Canadian and might enjoy the stop in Toronto.
