How This Trade Impacts Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers were likely ecstatic when it looked like they were going to cash in on Myles Turner having a career season.
While the foot injury likely decreased some of his value, there is likely a trade to be made still. If a team comes with an offer like this one from the Dallas Mavericks, they should seriously consider it.
This deal with Dallas is everything the Pacers were looking for when discussing deals that centered around Turner. They are getting the 2022 first-round draft pick to continue building up their roster. The 2025 first-round pick holds value even with the protection, as both can be used to sweeten a trade package to land an established player.
For the players coming back, Josh Green is someone who could factor into the wing rotation in Indiana. He is only 21-years old and showed some scoring and shoot potential in limited minutes this season.

Trey Burke provides some depth in the backcourt and can be instant offense off the bench. Indiana is a team that sometimes lacked scoring punch and Burke could change that in an instant.
Dwight Powell provides a steady option in the middle to join younger players in Goga Bitadze and Isaiah Jackson in the frontcourt rotation.

Parting ways with a player such as Turner is never easy, but this is a good return for a Pacers team that is embracing a rebuild and restocking on the fly. They would have three first-round picks this year to make a big move.
