Would this trade make sense for the Indiana Pacers?
At this point, the Indiana Pacers need to make a decision on Myles Turner. He has been a contract situation and value recently. He has continue to improve and this makes it a good time for the Pacers to cash in on the trading block.
Caris LeVert has already been moved and Domantas Sabonis might not be far behind. The Pacers would have a temporary overlap in the backcourt with CJ McCollum along with Malcolm Brogdon and Chris Duarte. However, the team could move on from Brogdon in the offseason when he’s eligible to be moved.
The lack of shot creation ability from Brogdon makes it worthwhile to begin working on his replacement. He’s just not the caliber of player the Pacers envisioned him being when they acquired him. McCollum would bring a helpful presence alongside Duarte to take pressure off him.
It is clear that the franchise is not happy with his their place near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and wants to shake things up. Taking on Bledsoe’s deal would present more ways to leverage their situation.
