The 2021-22 NBA season is almost halfway through the month of December and with the trade deadline right around the corner in February, plenty of trade rumors are going to begin gaining traction. 

We could actually see some movies made around the league after the December 15 deadline for recently signed players to become trade eligible passes as well! 

The Philadelphia 76ers with Ben Simmons and Portland Trail Blazers with both CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard continue to be hot topics of discussion around the NBA, but the Indiana Pacers have suddenly become the team everyone is discussing in trade rumors. 

On Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the Indiana Pacers are moving toward a rebuild and are going to be receptive to trade talks centered on Caris LeVert and either Domantas Sabonis or Myles Turner.

This is big news coming out of the Eastern Conference, but it really should be shocking. The Indiana Pacers have underachieved for years and b between injuries and lack of chemistry, everything is starting to catch up to them this season. 

The Pacers are just 11-16 on the year and showing no signs of improvement since the start of the season, it is very likely that at least one player from their core group of Brogdon, Sabinos, LeVert, Warren, and Turner will be on the move ahead of the trade deadline. 

Domantas Sabonis, Caris LeVert, and Myles Turner each are intriguing players that the Pacers could trade away and each player brings something different to the table. 

Being a two-time All-Star, Sabonis will carry the most trade value out of any players on Indiana’s roster, but Myles Turner is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate and Caris LeVert is a playmaker on the perimeter.
