Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Joe Harris, 2027 First-Round Pick (PHI via BKN)
Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Myles Turner
In contrast to Brooklyn’s situation, the Pacers feel like a decidedly more predictable team this summer. They are overwhelmingly likely to move on from Myles Turner.
After all, his name has been in trade rumors for years. Meanwhile, at 26, he is off this suddenly rebuilding team’s timeline.
With a skillset that’s highly coveted around the league, he’ll surely have suitors.
Trading him won’t be difficult. In fact, with what ought to be a range of options, the Pacers should be picky. Anything less than an unprotected first-round pick ought to be a non-starter in negotiations involving Turner.

With that said, the Nets don’t have much to offer in the way of draft capital. They moved all of their own first-round picks, whether outright or via swap, to the Houston Rockets when they acquired James Harden last season.
Can they really afford to part with one of the few picks they do have?
