The Indiana Pacers enter the NBA offseason with the need to fully commit to their rebuilding process. Tyrese Haliburton is now the franchise player to build around and it’s ideal to lean into it.
Players like Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon would be ideal trade candidates for the Pacers to move. Teams will covet their skill-sets and Indiana would add more assets to help position themselves for a successful rebuild.
Parting with Brogdon and Turner would maximize their outlook to give opportunities to young players to maximize their development. Brogdon isn’t a clean fit with Haliburton based on what was on display in the stretch-run of the 2021-22 season.
The Pacers already have the 6th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft to add another player into their core. Clearing room for that prospect to thrive alongside Haliburton and Chris Duarte could help.
