1. Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers are another team that could use a roster shakeup. They have struggled mightily this season, going 15-25 thus far. They are in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, four games out of a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament.
There was hope that bringing Rick Carlisle in would help turn things around, but that has not been the case thus far. The Pacers have especially struggled in close games, which has attributed to their poor win-loss record as much as anything. If they had won just four or five of the close games they have lost, they would be right in the thick of the playoff race.
Alas, you are what your record says you are, and for the Pacers, it says they aren’t a very good team. They sound ready to retool the roster, and the Sacramento Kings could provide them that opportunity.
Coming into the season the Pacers were looking to make some changes at the point guard position. If that is something they are still looking to do, De’Aaron Fox may intrigue them. Could Domantas Sabonis be part of the trade package?

Sabonis has reportedly been made available in a trade and the Kings could certainly use some help in the frontcourt. A package of Sabonis and Jeremy Lamb from the Pacers works monetarily. If Sacramento includes a pick or two along with Fox, something could be worked out between the teams.
