Indiana Pacers Receive: F Marcus Morris Sr, F Brandon Boston Jr., 2028 First-Round Pick (LAC)

LA Clippers Receive: C Myles Turner

If a two-team swap finds Myles Turner on the LA Clippers this summer, it’s almost certain it will look like this.

In all likelihood, the Pacers would prefer the younger Luke Kennard to Morris Sr. The Clippers are likely to push back. Kennard is one of the only pure floor-spacers on this roster. The Clippers need him from a win-now point of view.

Nonetheless, this is solid value for the Pacers. Boston Jr. flashed high upside as a shot-creating guard over 2021-22. His role was limited on the contending Clippers, but the Pacers would be able to afford him a larger one.

Meanwhile, they’re also getting a first-round pick for their troubles. Granted, it doesn’t convey until 2028. The Stepien rule doesn’t allow the Clippers to move a pick before then.

Nonetheless, an unprotected first-rounder is a valuable asset to a team in the Pacers’ position. On the other hand, if it’s not valuable enough for them, the next package might be more appealing.
