NBA Rumors: Pacers and Hawks could be looking at big trade
By Joe Lyon
Pacers bring in a starting power forward with continued upside with a floor spacing big in Myles Turner.
The trade suggested by Bleacher Report goes like this:
The price may seem high to some Pacers fans. In fact, Buddy Hield has been a fantastic player in his time in Indiana, quickly becoming one of the best 3 point shooters in franchise history this side of Reggie Miller.
Additionally, Buddy Hield is one of the most important teammates to budding superstar Tyrese Haliburton, who has had Buddy as a running mate his entire career. Buddy is a friend, mentor, and teammate to Haliburton. So it is likely that Haliburton would need to be in the loop for any moves that may involve Buddy Hield.
But recent reports suggest that Haliburton is being given some personnel decision-making power and this trade would have to assume that he is involved. So the question then becomes, would the Indiana Pacers do this trade? And would the Atlanta Hawks do this trade?
