The pacers need to rebuild. This core isn’t gonna get them to the finals. Here they get some pieces and guys who could eventually equal a championship.
Trade 1: PF Domantas Sabonis for PG Derrick White, SF Devin Vassell, C Drew Eubanks, the 13th pick in the draft, and a 2023 top 10 protected 1st
The Spurs get their low block dominant power forward in Sabonis. Popovich would love him, and make him the centerpiece of the offense. The Pacers get back 2 really solid role players, a bench big, and 2 solid 1st rounders. This makes the Pacers perfect, and the spurs get their guy.
Trade 2: SF TJ Warren for C Marvin Bagley
The Kings get a SF that fits perfectly between Haliburton and Harrison Barnes. The Pacers take a flyer on a young big who could end up being a great fit next to Turner if he works out
Trade 3: SF Andrew Wiggins and a 2022 unprotected 1st via Minnesota (it landed top 3) for SG Malcolm Brogdon, SF Justin Holiday and a 2023 top 10 protected 1st via SA
The Warriors get a great off ball guy and a Kent bazemore replacement, and a 1st rounder. The Pacers get Wiggins, who has been good, just not 30m+ good, and the 2022 Minnesota pick (ended up at 3)
Free Agency/Draft
Sign PG TJ McConnell to a 3 year, 33 million dollar contract
They get a great backup point guard back who is in contention for sixth man of the year
Draft PF Franz Wagner at pick 12
They get a great 3+D forward who can be a great PF next to Turner
Draft C Kai Jones at 13
They get their 3rd big to complete their rotation
Draft Miles McBride and Trey Murphy III at picks 54 and 60
2 depth combo positional players that will end up on 2 ways
