B/R pitches wild four-team blockbuster trade involving the Pacers and Lakers

The Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Lakers have been very frequent customers in trade hypotheticals that we can almost pencil the entire matter as a running gag, albeit without the jovial element. With the trade deadline just weeks away, fans should brace themselves as the trade ride will only get on a more rampant crusade from here on out.

For the Pacers, that means their oft-rumored players will be far from safe from all the noise. The front office’s stance approaching the trade deadline remains to be seen, but their recent on-court struggles with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined due to injury could make them inch closer to actually being sellers than buyers in the market.

This is because aside from the fact that the team is literally littered with tradable and valuable on-court contributors, they also still have ample cap space, meaning that they have what it takes to absorb bad contracts without needing to match salaries outright.

Not to be left behind from all the commotion of course, Bleacher Report recently released a massive four-team, blockbuster trade involving the Pacers and Lakers, among others, that mirrors just that. Let’s take a look.
