Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal 

Yes! Let’s be honest: the Pacers aren’t going anywhere this season. If they punch a ticket to the play-in tournament, they should consider themselves lucky. Moreover, now is the time to prioritize lottery odds. 

In all likelihood, you know exactly why. The Pacers need to join the race for Victor Wembanyama. If they move these two veterans, they should be among the worst teams in the NBA. Now, more than ever is the time when that’s desirable. 

Plus, these picks are highly valuable. The Lakers are old, and they’re only getting older. This team is not built to stay competitive into 2027, yet alone 2029.

If the Pacers can get their hands on these selections, that would be well worth the price of Turner and Hield to a team in their position.
