The start of the NBA regular season is approaching and Ben Simmons is still with the Philadelphia 76ers — a status that may quickly change barring a potential trade.
The Indiana Pacers could be one of the teams still in the mix for a possible trade featuring Simmons. There has been much made about their willingness to include Malcolm Brogdon and/or Caris LeVert in trade talks, but as more developments occur, more conflicting information develops.
The Pacers went through inconsistencies last season that caused them to miss the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. This was unexpected coming into the year given the cast of characters that they have mixed with past success. The team needs to make a splash for a star at some point.
Indiana acquired Caris LeVert in the offseason and he will be one of the new focal points at the office. In a perfect world, the Pacers are able to hold onto LeVert in any deal that they make.
