Indiana Pacers Receive: G Kemba Walker
New York Knicks Receive: G Jeremy Lamb
This NBA trade scenario would be a simple player-for-player swap with Kemba Walker heading to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Jeremy Lamb.
Neither the Knicks nor Pacers would be making a franchise-altering move by participating in a deal of this kind. Instead, it would be a move made on the margins.
The Knicks have other options they value over Walker already on their roster. The main need in a trade involving Walker should be to clear future salary cap spending room since he’s got another year on his contract.
The Pacers, on the other hand, are stuck aggressively in mediocrity with no real outlook of getting out. That doesn’t mean they won’t keep pushing trying to swim upstream.
