2. The Pacers capitalize on a crowded frontcourt in Toronto

This is another one that isn’t too bad. It brings in a player from Toronto that many fans of the Pacers would likely be interested in. Here is the proposed trade:

This one is still a little too solid for the Bulls. Perhaps a heavily protected first, with another second, rather than the two first round picks might make more sense. OG’s potential fit with the roster would make a slightly more even version of this trade potentially desirable.

1. The Hornets leverage their best asset to the Pacers

And for our last ridiculous trade proposal, we give you one that goes the other way. One that would be so good for the Pacers, they literally would have to do it.

At first this trade doesn’t look that great, until you realize that first round pick is the Lakers first. There is a chance that the pick would be top 10 and not protected. If that was the case, the Pacers would have to move on from Turner for the chance at a generational prospect.

The reality? The Pelicans are not moving from that pick. They just aren’t.
