Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Evan Fournier, 2023 First-Round Pick (Top 5 Protected – NYK), 2023 First-Round Pick (DAL)
New York Knicks Receive: C Myles Turner
Deciding on the draft capital changing hands here was difficult. Somehow, it felt like two first-round picks were too much for Myles Turner, but one wasn’t enough.
We tried to split the difference. The New York Knicks protect their own 2023 first-rounder against total disaster here and give up the Mavericks’ selection altogether.
In all likelihood, this means the Indiana Pacers are receiving two non-lottery picks in exchange for Turner. That’s fine. The 2023 Draft is widely viewed as having the potential to be historic.
If the Knicks’ selection landed in the top 15, this could be a steal for the Pacers.
