Indiana Pacers Receive: C Deandre Ayton (sign-and-trade)

Phoenix Suns Receive: C Myles Turner, F Kevin Durant

Brooklyn Nets Receive F Mikal Bridges, F Cam Johnson, multiple future first-round draft picks

This trade is one that likely won’t go down for a while. The Brooklyn Nets saga with Kevin Durant is holding up the works and one of the teams that he wants to be traded to is the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix will undoubtedly focus on that as Durant could be the piece that pushes them over the top in contending for the NBA Finals. However, Brooklyn doesn’t seem to have much interest in acquiring Ayton via sign-and-trade.

So, the Indiana Pacers get involved as the team that will take on Ayton. For their involvement, they are parting ways with Myles Turner, who will be ending up in Phoenix along with Kevin Durant.

This is the framework of what a deal could look like, as Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson are two of the players who have been mentioned as part of the package on the table from the Suns.
