The Hypothetical Trade

Sacramento Receives: Myles Turner

Indiana Receives: Harrison Barnes, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2022 2nd Round Pick (via ATL)

This is a great trade between these two squads because they are able to address a need. The Kings would benefit from the addition of an interior defensive presence to improve their needy defense, while the Pacers would benefit from a savvy veteran in Harrison Barnes to stabilize their forward position. Indiana could also use more draft capital.

Both of these teams have a lot of talent on their rosters, and a trade between the two squads could make a lot of sense. The Kings and Pacers will both be looking to beef up their rosters to stay in contention long beyond next season and an offseason trade could allow that to happen.

This trade gives both sides exactly what they’re looking for in terms of talent, and it’s a very fair deal as well. Let’s take a look at how this trade directly impacts each team directly.
