The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a 17-6 start this season and are one of the top teams in the Western Conference. This is something that was expected coming in and it is expected to continue. There have been talks that the Lakers are looking to improve at the NBA trade deadline and the Indiana Pacers could be trade partners.
Los Angeles has been linked to some big-name players to team up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. This was a team that made some key improvements in the offseason in Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell. They have both paid off in big ways to begin the season.
LeBron James is off to another MVP-caliber start averaging 25.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game. Los Angeles has shown that they are not afraid to make a move to improve their roster even further.
This is where Indiana could come into play. The Pacers made a big move when they sent Victor Oladipo to the Houston Rockets. This was shortly after James Harden was sent to Brooklyn.
The Pacers have been linked to some NBA trade rumors at times, mostly including Myles Turner. Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis are the future of the franchise which means any other player could be dealt at any time for a return.
It would be interesting to see teams like this make a deal of any kind. Here is what it might take to get one done.
