Trade assumes Dallas doesn't make the playoffs and thus their pick doesn't move down out of the lottery.

Utah trades: Sexton/25 MIN 1st(currently 18)
Utah gets: Anthony/Prosper/Powell(buyout?)/25 DAL 1st(currently 12)

Orlando trades: Anthony/27 BOS 2nd
Orlando gets: Thompson

Dallas trades: Thompson/Powell/Prosper/25 DAL 1st
Dallas gets: Sexton/25 MIN 1st/27 BOS 2nd

Prosper in the deal to not hard cap Dallas, this might not be necessary, didn't look that closely at salaries. If not needed and Utah doesn't value, Dallas keeps him. He's big and tries hard, and was looking okayish before getting hurt, but jury is still out on him getting a 2nd NBA contract. Assigning no value to him.

Utah uses Sexton to move up into the lottery. Anthony makes less than Klay and I'm told Utah is hard tanking next year as well.
Orlando desperately needs shooting and were rumored to be in on Klay last summer. Here it costs them basically nothing to replace Anthony with a shooter.
Dallas gets their stopgap guard/6th man when Kyrie returns, stays in the first, and picks up a low value pick to juice a future minor move.

first i am assuming you mean cole anthony and not anthony black as you used klay first name...if you meant black its super easy pass..if klay had only 1 year left could pay the extra 4 mill maybe and even send 2 -2nds but klay third yr kills this for magic unless you swap for kcp...lol

Assuming this is a post lottery trade and Dallas doesn't move up. For Utah I think it would hinge on whether there's a player that they love available at 12 who they're confident won't be there at 18. In that scenario it's a good draft night deal. Nice.

Orlando will be well over 1st apron and need to send out more salary

...agreed and Cole is expiring next year, so he's not the biggest financial concern

Also, much rather chase Sexton directly...he's a much better fit than Klay
