One NBA writer has named Pascal Siakam, Kyle Kuzma and Tobias Harris as the Indiana Pacers’ top trade targets. Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report believes the Pacers should try to trade for Siakam, Kuzma or Harris.
“The Pacers could’ve started that search already, as they’ve been connected to Siakam,” Buckley wrote in his latest NBA trade column. “It doesn’t take a huge leap in logic, then, to think they might have at least passing interest in Kuzma and Harris, too. Kuzma just re-signed with the Washington Wizards, but he already looks out of place with an organization that’s finally leaning into an overdue rebuild. Harris, one of many names to watch on the Philadelphia 76ers, may not cost much in a trade since he’s so costly on the cap sheet.”
The Pacers went 35-47 last season. They missed the playoffs for the third straight season. Indiana signed Bruce Brown in free agency and acquired Obi Toppin from the New York Knicks this offseason. Brown helped the Denver Nuggets win the 2023 NBA championship over the Miami Heat.
