Indiana Pacers Receive: G Tyler Herro
Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: G Kyle Lowry, G TJ McConnell, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2023 First-Round Pick (IND), 2025 First-Round Pick (IND), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
This deal functions the same way that the last deal does, only it plugs the Indiana Pacers in for the New York Knicks.
Following this deal, the Pacers form their frontcourt of the future by pairing Tyrese Haliburton and Tyler Herro. Is it worth two of their first-round picks to do so?
It may be for the Pacers. Consider them the anti-Thunder. This team isn’t interested in a prolonged rebuilding process. They typically prefer to improve incrementally each year. With one of the brightest backcourt in the league, they’d do so next season.
On a surface level, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to the Heat sounds pretty unrealistic. A deeper dive suggests that, if the Heat are willing to part with Tyler Herro and some draft capital, there could be realistic avenues towards making it happen.
