According to a report by The Athletic, the Indiana Pacers would have decided to turn towards a “profound” re-foundation of the current roster, and the stars of the team Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner e Caris LeVert are to be considered on the market and transferable via trade.
The Pacers, in their first year of management Rick Carlisle, currently have a record of 10 wins and 16 losses and run the risk of missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year, after the flop of last season with coach Nate bjorkgren, hunted at the end of the regular season.
Turner, the two-time All-Star Sabonis and LeVert are players destined to raise so much interest in view of the trade deadline of 10 February. The Pacers may also consider offers for winger TJ Warren, who is currently injured and with his contract expiring.
I am many teams that they could focus their eyes on especially Domantas Sabonis e Myles Turner. The Lithuanian is one of the best long offensive players in the NBA, holding a contract for another two years in addition to 2021/22 and about 40 million dollars still remaining after this season. Turner, on the other hand, is a potential defender of the year nominee and the best blocker in the NBA (3.4 blocks per game last year, 2.8 this season).
Domantas Sabonis has often been associated with the Golden State Warriors and there Portland Trail Blazers, while for Myles Turner teams like Boston Celtics O Charlotte Hornets could come forward. Among the teams that will try to reinforce or change structure within the trade deadline, they will be taken into account New York Knicks e Minnesota Timberwolves.
Caris LeVert had arrived a year ago via trade at the Pacers, in the maxi exchange that had brought James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets, and this season his figures are in considerable decline compared to 2020/21, when he closed the season at over 20 points per game, surpassing also a serious health problem, a left kidney tumor discovered early thanks to post-trade medical visits in January 2021. Turner and LeVert’s contracts will expire at the end of the 2022/23 season.
