Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers are one piece away from being a legitimate threat in the East. They need another star to play alongside Victor Oladipo.

With Green, they’d have a more fluid offense along with a dominant defense. Green would be playing alongside Myles Turner, one of the best rim-protecting bigs in the game. Those two would potentially create the league’s best defensive frontcourt for the Pacers.

For Golden State, Domatas Sabonis is having a breakout season. He’ll end the season as one of the top candidates for the Most Improved Player award. He’s averaging 15.0 points per game on over 60% from the field.

With many players on Golden State racking in the cash, they’d create an insane amount of cap space since Sabonis will be paid under $4 million both this season and next until his huge eight-figure contract.

Along with a first-round pick, this would be a great trade for Golden State. Would Indiana take away the future for the present though?
