The Hypothetical Trade

Clippers Receive: Victor Oladipo, Edmond Sumner

Pacers Receive: Lou Williams, Patrick Beverley, 2022 Second-Round Pick (via ATL), 2023 Second-Round Pick (via POR)

Both teams would be giving up fan favorites and key pieces of their roster. Moving on from Oladipo is going to be a tough decision, but the Pacers cannot afford to lose him for nothing next offseason when he hits free agency. For Los Angeles, being able to bring in Oladipo to play alongside Kawhi Leonard and Victor Oladipo would be very intriguing.

Being able to salvage value in Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley would be a major win for the Pacers. Sumner is a solid piece for the Clippers as well. He is more of a defender and athletic guard, but he is still young and has room to grow.

This isn’t a huge blockbuster, but it is a big trade nonetheless. It’s one that could make sense for both teams depending on what they are looking to do moving forward.

Let’s take a closer look at this trade for both teams and why both the Pacers and Clippers should consider pulling the trigger.
