Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers have fired Nate Bjorkgren as their head coach after just one season with the organization. Bjorkgren posted a 34-38 record in his first year and the Pacers missed the playoffs, mainly due to injuries to marquee players throughout the season. Nevertheless, Indiana is interested in going in a different direction at the helm.

With the Pacers electing to find a new coach, that could mean that their roster could go through a slight makeover. Indiana has a few players that Dallas should be interested in like Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner.
It’s unlikely that Kristaps Porzingis would be able to land the Mavericks Domantas Sabonis, but it wouldn’t hurt Dallas to try. T.J. Warren also wouldn’t be a bad return depending on how he’s recovering from his injury.
By acquiring Porzingis, the Pacers could get a floor spacer to pair with Sabonis or whoever is in the frontcourt next season. As for the Mavericks, they could potentially get another ball-handler to relieve some pressure off of Doncic in Brogdon, or they could possible get a two-way center in Turner. Indiana is definitely a team that could swoop in and make an enticing offer for Porzingis this offseason.
