The Indiana Pacers should sell like hotcakes in the trade deadline, if they ever truly decide to be bona fide sellers as widely believed. After all, they have a slew of veterans who present good fits for different clubs that they can liquidate for assets as they double down on their youth movement.
Most trade noise have revolved around longtime Pacer Myles Turner and veteran sharpshooter Buddy Hield. However, despite forecasts pointing to Indiana potentially netting great returns for both players, the team is unlikely to force a trade to transpire given their inspiring play so far for the Blue and Gold.
The Indiana Pacers still have other players that they can liquidate for assets
Fear not though, as the Pacers should remain relevant on the trade market even if they sequester Turner and Hield. Indiana’s encouraging start to the season despite an injury-powered drop-off recently suggests keeping the deck intact is the logical move, but the roster can still be improved in many ways.
Hence, here is a pretty straightforward trade proposal between Indiana and the Los Angeles Clippers that should be able to solve both teams’ woes this season as they seek to wage more competitive bids in their respective playoff races.
