Indiana Pacers
There are quite a few decisions that need to be made by the Indiana Pacers this offseason. What does the team do with Myles Turner, Domantas Sabonis, and Malcolm Brogdon this summer? Who does the team believes fits the best with Caris LeVert (assuming he’s who they want to build around)?
After firing Nate Bjorkgren just one year after naming him their head coach, the Pacers also need a new head coach. Regardless of who the next head coach is, there’s a decent roster already assembled in Indiana. It’s all about figuring out which pieces are best suited to move forward with.
What would make life easier for the Pacers is if they were able to land Pascal Siakam via trade from the Raptors. Though, it remains to be seen if Toronto is interested in anyone on Indiana’s roster to begin discussions.
At the least, the Pacers should attempt to acquire Siakam, which would improve their roster immediately. My guess would be that Siakam could move to the small forward spot, LeVert serves as the primary ball-handler, and Sabonis stays put at power forward.

Siakam is capable of playing multiple positions on the floor and he would give the Pacers a solid foundation to build around moving forward.
