How the Pacers should get involved with Nets and Celtics after Irving deal
By Joe Lyon
Pacers sneak in to get power forward of their future for draft capital
If the Nets are wanting draft capital in order to kick off a rebuid, the Pacers may be primed to make it happen. The following three team trade would work for all parties. Who would possibly say no to this trade?
The Pacers would get Grant Williams, a proven power forward that fits the timeline of the team at their greatest position of need. Williams has been a rock for the Celtics on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball and would fit what the Pacers need exactly.
The Nets would get their star of the future and three additional first round picks. Additional seconds may be needed from both clubs to seal the deal.
And the Celtics would get Kevin Durant and would likely become the front runner in the eastern conference (which they debatably already are).
This trade depends entirely on the Nets feeling that Durant is already a no-win situation for them.
