They aren't trading Claxton-he's a better rim protector than JJJ, and wouldn't be interested in OG with O'Neale and Finney-Smith on their roster.
Maybe this could work:
Spurs - Nets 1st, Harris, Koloko
Raptors - Claxton, Nets 1st, Richardson
Nets - OG, Poeltl, 2 Raptors 2nds, 2 Spurs 2nds
Spurs get a 1st and Koloko to replace Poeltl, which seems like about his value
Nets get a Poeltl-Simmons-KD-OG-FinneySmith-Royce-Curry-Dinwiddie top 8 which looks like as good a lineup as you're gonna get for KD realistically, without a 2nd star, and while they give up 2 firsts for a bunch of 2nds, they get a potentially scary smallball lineup of OG-Simmons-KD-Royce/DFS-Dinwiddie and Poeltl is a solid center to play big minutes when they play Embiid, Bam or Jokic and otherwise do well. The 2nds can be used to go after a guard now or in the future, or just try to keep costs down by hitting on 1 or 2 of them.
Raptors get a team next year of:
Claxton-Precious
Siakam-Precious
Barnes-Otto
Trent-Richardson
VanVleet-____
and then we get a 3rd forward and a backup spot with our 1st rounder and the MLE in some combination (say Whitmore/Ausar/Walker at forward and a Reggie Jackson/Pat Bev type at PG, or Smith/Wallace/Black at guard and then it's hard to fill the 3rd forward spot with the MLE but we have an extra first to use on a guy we like and Thad/Porter/Birch as contracts to use to get one).
Nets give up a lot, but if they're trying to keep KD, adding 2 quality starters for one might do it.
