LA Clippers Receive: C Myles Turner, G/F Edmond Sumner, F Jeremy Lamb
Indiana Pacers Receive: F Marcus Morris Sr., C/F Serge Ibaka, F Justise Winslow
The LA Clippers and Indiana Pacers come together on this deal that sees a total of six players on the move. That is a decent amount of moving parts, with the Clippers landing the best player in the deal in Myles Turner.
Turner has been the subject of NBA trade rumors for a while now, as the Pacers have considered breaking up their jumbo frontcourt pairing of Turner and Domantas Sabonis. That occurs in this deal with Turner heading out west.
Joining Turner on the move to Los Angeles are Edmond Sumner and Jeremy Lamb. They are two more guards to add to the revamped backcourt of the Clippers. Lamb can also help on the wing and is someone Indiana has been looking to move.
Heading back to Indiana are players that will help the frontcourt. Marcus Morris Sr. could slide into a starting frontcourt spot alongside Sabonis that has been vacated by Turner. Serge Ibaka could do the same or come off the bench in a combo frontcourt role.

Justise Winslow is looking to get his career back on track and would be a reclamation project for the Pacers in this deal. He was showing great promise with the Miami Heat before injuries derailed him.
How does this deal work for both teams? Let’s take a look at why they would do it, starting with the Clippers.
