The Indiana Pacers are rumored as a possible trade partner for New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 4 pick, according to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor. They are also in the hunt for Ricky Rubio, but more on that in later post.
If Indiana is serious about acquiring the No. 4 pick, it’s going to cost them almost undoubtedly one of their young centers and some draft picks. For the Pacers, trading a young and talented center — whether that’s Myles Turner or Domantas Sabonis — normally wouldn’t be something any team would want to do. But when you have two good young centers who deserve starting roles, you have a good, but none the less a problem on your hands.
