Does this trade make sense for the Indiana Pacers?
Indiana finished near the bottom of the Eastern Conference this season. It was a bit of a shock to see the team finish as low as they did and this could propel them into a quick rebuild. It is unknown if the Pacers are interested in a completely blowing it up but we could see one of their bigger names be sent away.
Caris LeVert is now in Indiana and could be the new focal point to build around. It would make sense from a rotation standpoint to keep Sabonis in town as he has blossomed into a all-star caliber big man.
If that’s the case, Malcolm Brogdon makes sense and the return could be large. Murray would be an immediate replacement at the top of the office for the Pacers. He is an explosive young player with an extremely high ceiling moving forward.
The 12th pick is another asset that should attract the Pacers. This would allow them to add a second prospect in a very deep draft class.
