Pacers win big as potential facilitators of Kyrie Irving from Nets to Suns
By Joe Lyon
This trade would certainly be worth it if the Phoenix Suns have legitimate interest in Irving
If the Suns are just hopeful to get Irving for a low amount of money and see how the rest of this season goes, they likely aren’t going to do a deal like this. It would require them to get rid of one of their good long term pieces and a first-round pick. However, they would be bringing in a generational point guard.

The Pacers would be dumb not to jump on an opportunity like this. Royce O’Neale is on a steal of a contract at 9 million a year for two years. He would instantly be the best power forward on the team and fill a roll the Pacers have been unable to fill for years now.
Royce O’Neale is averaging the following numbers: 9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists on 40% FG and 40% FG3
Preferably the Pacers could find a slightly larger option at power forward such as OG Anunoby or John Collins, but Royce would be a nice consolation prize is the Pacers find themselves priced out of the market.
What would we grade this trade? An A, no question.
