Sacramento Kings Receive: F Oshae Brissett, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 6)

Indiana Pacers Receive: 2022 First-Round Pick (No.4)

This deal finds the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings swapping first-round picks, with Oshae Brissett making the move to the Western Conference as well.

Now entering his fourth season, Brissett may not be a household name, but he’s a solid NBA player. He’s shooting 36.1% from long distance throughout his career so far.

He might just be enough to grease the wheels on this deal for Sacramento. They’re only moving back two spots, after all. Adding a reliable floor-spacer to pair with Sabonis in the frontcourt may be worth the cost of moving back.

Meanwhile, the Pacers would likely use the fourth overall selection to select hometown hero Jaden Ivey. Unless, of course, one of the presumptive top three of Jabari Smith Jr., Chet Holmgren or Paolo Banchero is left on the board.
