Indiana Pacers: Possible draft trade with every team in the top-ten
By Joe Lyon
5. Pacers trade to jump the Magic this draft
The Pacers could decide they like someone so much, they need to jump the Magic in order to make sure they will get the player they want. Enter the Pistons. The Pacers could package some young assets and a later pick to jump to get the person they want. Perhaps something like this could work.
While it feels that the Pacers are giving up too much, they would be ensuring they could get the guy they wanted at five, while giving up players that may not see much playing time (especially true for Nwora if the Pacers use the #5 to get another high-end forward). Fans may not like it, but moving up in the draft (especially into the top five) costs assets.
