The Indiana Pacers are one team to watch as the NBA offseason is coming to an end. With training camp a few weeks away, they are one of the teams that could still swing a pretty sizeable trade.
Starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon and starting center Myles Turner could both still be on the move. They have been involved in numerous NBA trade rumors this offseason as the Pacers look to shake up their roster.
Brogdon was offered in a package to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons. That deal was declined, but plenty of teams could use a guard with his skill set. Someone that can set the table on offense and keep an opposing team from doing the same on defense.
Turner has been involved in NBA trade rumors since the last offseason. Indiana has contemplated breaking up either frontcourt duo of him and Domantas Sabonis, and it is probably time for that to happen. Both excel at the center position and are a bit of an awkward fit on the court together.

Another lower-profile trade that could occur would involve Jeremy Lamb. Lamb played 36 games last season as he recovered from a devastating knee injury that included a torn ACL, meniscus, and fracture.
He averaged 10.1 points to go along with 3.6 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game. He made a career-high 40.6 percent of his 3-point attempts. If that proves to be a legitimate improvement and not just a small sample size, Lamb could prove to be a steal for a team.
The market for Lamb has been quiet, though. Teams are wary of his injury recovery, and his $10.5 million contract isn’t easy to absorb. But, these three teams could consider trading for Lamb this offseason.
