Making the Case: Indiana Pacers

It’s clear what this trade is all about for the Indiana Pacers: Acquiring another quality first-round pick.

With recent reporting suggesting the Pacers will lean into the rebuilding process, adding an asset of that kind would help. They could benefit from drafting the best player available.

Another option the Pacers would have would be to package the 15th pick with the 6th pick in an attempt to move up in the draft. If they want to guarantee the chance to draft Keegan Murray or Jaden Ivey, it could be necessary to do so.

After trading Turner, the Pacers’ focus could then shift their focus to trading Malcolm Brogdon. Waiting to part with him could be ideal given he’ll be a popular option among teams who strike out in free agency.
