Should the Lakers give up two unprotected picks to dump Westbrook and getting Turner and Hield

Lakers
C:Turner/Jones/Bryant
Pf:A Davis/Gabriel
SF:LB James/Brown Jr
SG:Hield/L Walker/Reeves
PG:Beverly/Nunn

Pacers should do this:
I don't think we can get better picks For Hield And Turner and we can tank for one year. Last time Indy had a top 5 pick, was Rick Smits in 1988

Lakers should do this:
If they believe A Davis can stay healty
The Lakers and Miami are the only teams that can risk their future trading away all their draft picks. They still can sign the stars they want so they could go all in on this trade.

“I'm told the Lakers and Pacers did engage in some trade conversations this week and the Pacers' demand for two unprotected first-round picks … is just not appealing for the Lakers. ”

Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic report that the Lakers prefer to wait until next season to have enough salary cap to add another star without giving up first-round draft picks:

"According to a high-level Lakers source, their refusal to do Westbrook deals with Indiana and Utah that have been discussed in various capacities for months has everything to do with this hopeful vision for their future beyond this season. In July 2023 the Lakers could not only be flushed with enough cash to add another maximum-salary-level player but also in possession of their first-round picks from 2027 and 2029.

"As it stands, the Lakers only have James ($46.9 million), Davis ($40.6 million) and rookie Max Christie ($1.7 million) under contract for the 2023-24 campaign. (Jones also has a player option worth $2.6 million. ) With the salary cap projected to be $134 million, Los Angeles could create upwards of $30 million to $35 million or so in cap space. If their widely known interest in Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving isn’t satisfied via trade by then, Irving could reunite with James the easy way when he’s an unrestricted free agent.

Lakers/Jazz/Hornets/Knicks

Lakers get:
* Terry Rozier ($21.4M, 4 yrs)
* Bojan Bogdanovic ($19.5M, 1 yr)
* Evan Fournier ($18.0M,3 yrs;club option Y3)
* Rudy Gay ($6.1M, 2 yrs)

Jazz get:
* Derrick Rose ($14.5M, 2 yrs; club option Y2)
* 2023 unprotected 2nd (CHA, via UTA)
* 2027 unprotected 1st (via LAL)

Hornets get:
* Malik Beasley ($15.5M,2 yrs;club option Y2)
* Cameron Reddish ($5.9M, 1 yr)
* Kendrick Nunn ($5.2M, 1 yr)

Knicks get:
* Russell Westbrook ($47.0M, 1 yr)
* 2023 unprotected 2nd (LAL, via CHI)
* 2029 unprotected 1st (via LAL)

Lakers trade the picks with Westbrook and they acquire a more complimentary point guard, as well as two lethal shooters. Jazz get another first round pick for Bogdanovic to add to their stockpile of picks collected this summer. Hornets prioritize cap flexibility and trade Rozier, who has four years remaining on his contract, for three young rotational pieces all on expiring contracts. Knicks acquire a very valuable first round pick for their rebuild, while getting off of Fournier's guaranteed two years, opening up the necessary playing time for Quentin Grimes.
