This is subjective.

Pacers:They have guards like Nesmith, Buddy, and Bruce, so they're fine in that aspect. Math has poor defense and isn't the size of a typical small forward. He seems more like a typical score-first shooting guard. However, there is potential there. That's why there's value in exchanging him for a genuine star like Lauri. Besides, if the Pacers want a star, there's no other choice but to part ways with Math. I believe that in the future, if Jarace emerges, they might achieve a better balance in their play.

Jazz: Their contention is several years away, and there's little incentive to retain Lauri. Sure, he can probably play at his current level even beyond 30. But is that truly in line with their championship aspirations? Moreover, it might be tough for them to bottom out if Lauri stays. The Jazz lack top-tier talent. Therefore, they'll need the readiness to bottom out for future drafts targeting talents like Cooper or Boozer with Math as the foundation.
