NBA analyst says Raptors, Pacers, and Mavericks looking at trades

Movement in the lottery for the rearranging of high-end players.

All three teams have a decent first-round pick this year, however, teams like Toronto and Dallas may want to be in different places than they currently are. Dallas probably doesn’t need to be higher given they are in win-now mode, while the Raptors are probably hopeful to get higher into lottery. Here’s one way perhaps everyone can win.

The Mavericks get a top-notch sharpshooter to put next to Luka (and potentially Kyrie) while only moving back three places in the draft. The Pacers get a top-end power forward and only fall three spots back in the draft. And the Raptors move up significantly in the lottery at the cost of OG Anunoby.

All around this kind of trade seems like a win-win-win for the three teams involved. So who might say no if this kind of trade was proposed between the three franchises?
