Indiana Pacers Receive: F/C Kelly Olynyk, G/F Nickeil Alexander-Walker, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIN via UTA)
Utah Jazz Receive: C Myles Turner
With that said, plans don’t always change for the better. Just ask the Minnesota Timberwolves.
They were supposed to be a lot further ahead than they currently are. At 7-8, they’re 10th in the Western Conference. They certainly had higher hopes than that.
