Indiana Pacers Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (LAL)

Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Myles Turner, G/F Buddy Hield

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Kyrie Irving

Of course, Irving isn’t the only Brooklyn Net with uncertain status heading into 2022-23.

Nobody knows what will happen with Kevin Durant. We do know he’s requested a trade, but some spectators seem to believe the Nets won’t honor it.

With all that being said, the most notable player we can confidently say will be a Net next year is Ben Simmons. This deal lands the team two players who fit wonderfully with him. As a non-shooting ball-handler, Simmons ought to thrive alongside a stretch big like Turner.

On the other hand, an elite floor-spacer like Hield ought to aid him at any position. Meanwhile, the rebuilding Pacers are strictly here for the draft capital. They’ll either buy Westbrook out, or sit him for the year until his deal expires.
