The Indiana Pacers began their fire sale when they shipped out Domantas Sabonis to the Sacramento Kings in return for Tyrese Haliburton before last season’s NBA trade deadline. Haliburton’s acquisition and presence have essentially pushed Indiana into embracing a full-on rebuild.

Thanks to the rashness of the Kings’ brass, the Pacers were gifted a legitimate franchise cornerstone who’s still just 22 years old. Now, with some prudent roster construction, they can surround him with quality young running mates and form a future contender.

That being said, Indiana still has plenty of veteran holdovers on the roster. These pieces need to be dealt away to free up roster spots, minutes, and shots for the prospects that the Pacers will be collecting. In turn, trading these established players will bring back either more young talent or future assets to speed up their rebuild.

The two greatest veteran trade chips that the Pacers hold are Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon. Turner suffered an injury just before the trade deadline last season and will likely need to return to action to recover some of his value before being dealt next year.
