Why This Trade Would Benefit The Indiana Pacers
Myles Turner has been mentioned in a few NBA trade rumors and it could be because of his contract situation. He is on a relatively friendly deal, making $17 million a year, but that money could come in handy when signing other players.
Domantas Sabonis comes to mind immediately. The Pacers have other priorities that they feel are higher up than Myles Turner on their roster. This could persuade them to find a trade partner for the big man, especially if the losses start to stack up on them.
The Pacers would have to send back some draft capital but would be getting an interesting player in Porzingis. When healthy, his ability is undeniable. Porzingis has the size to dominate down low and on the defensive end and the shooting ability to make him a one-of-a-kind player.
A frontcourt of Domantas Sabonis and Kristaps Porzingis should make Pacers fans very excited. This is something that would bring Indiana back near relevant. They are currently in middle of the pack team and will likely need to make a move to get back to the top.
