Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Ivica Zubac, F Marcus Morris Sr.
Indiana Pacers Receive: C Dwight Powell, F Josh Green, 2025 First-Round Pick (Lottery Protected – DAL)
LA Clippers Receive: C Myles Turner
The LA Clippers would be so happy to flip Ivica Zubac for Myles Turner that we decided to have them do so twice in this article.
This time, they’re sending the 25-year-old big man to the Dallas Mavericks. They’re doing a little center upgrading of their own, as they’ll be flipping Dwight Powell for Zubac
Some may argue that they’re paying too high of a cost here to do so. Arguably, that’s true. Still, the first-round pick they’re sending to the Pacers is lottery protected. Of course, with the Mavericks in win-now mode, it’s likely to convey to Indiana.
That’s exactly what makes it expendable to the Mavericks. They’ll be expecting to be in the mix for the championship behind Luka Doncic in 2025. They can afford to part with first-round picks as a means to upgrade their roster.

Meanwhile, the Pacers take a flier on the athletic, energetic Green along with that first-rounder. They won’t mind taking on Powell’s expiring deal either. This trade looks like a win for every team involved.
