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

Myles Turner heads to the Lakers in this wild four-team blockbuster trade

Indiana Pacers receive: G Russell Westbrook, C/F Frank Kaminsky, 2027 First-Round Pick (from LAL), and 2029 First-Round Pick (from LAL)

Los Angeles Lakers receive: C Myles Turner and G/F Bogdan Bogdanovic

Atlanta Hawks receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic, G Buddy Hield, and G/F Alec Burks

Detroit Pistons receive: F/C John Collins, F Jalen Johnson, and G/F Max Christie

In this proposed deal, the Pacers acquire Westbrook, Kaminsky (from Atlanta), and the Lakers’ first-rounders in 2027 and 2029, which have long been desired by the front office. Meanwhile, the Lakers upgrade their frontcourt and on the wings by acquiring Turner and Bogdanovic (from the Hawks).

On the flip side, Atlanta gets Bogdanovic (the former Pacer, current Piston, and the Croatian one), Indiana’s resident sharpshooter in Hield, and veteran guard Burks from Detroit, which, in turn, acquires widely-rumored trade candidate John Collins and sophomore forward Johnson from the Hawks, as well as rookie Christie from Los Angeles.

Should the Pacers pull the trigger on this one?
