On December 8, Beijing time, according to the famous Chalania report, after a disappointing 10-16 start, the Pacers decided to start a large-scale reconstruction, and is expected to start trade negotiations around their three stars. Charania reported that the Pacers had received a number of offers, with le Vere and one of the little Sabonis or Turner at the heart of the offer. As for Brogdon, who has renewed his two-year contract, he is not eligible for a trade this season, and McConnell has undergone wrist surgery, possibly reimbursed for the season. TJ Warren wants to renew his contract with the team.
According to Charania, "All three players have aroused great interest from other teams. The team's general manager has persuaded the owner several times over the past few years to rebuild, and now the 87-year-old boss Herbert Simon has finally made up his mind. So far this season, 25-year-old Sabonis Jr. has averaged 17.8 points, 12 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, Turner, 25, averaging 12.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, and LeVert, 27, averaging 14.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
Sabonis Jr. is expected to be a key target in the trading market, having been named an All-Star twice, and the Pacers' long-standing question is whether he and Turner can play at a high level together, and the answer so far seems to be no. Turner's ability to guard the basket is outstanding, allowing him to pull away from space. As for Le Vere, he is often plagued by injuries, but he is in good health. NBA reporter Massey followed up by reporting that the Pacers have discussed a deal with at least 3-4 teams over the past two weeks, and he could be the first person the Pacers to rebuild and send them away.
The Pacers are trying to rebuild through trades and drafts and are hoping to give No. 13 Duarte and No. 22 Isaiah Jackson more playing time. Duarte played well, averaging 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2 assists per game, while Jackson only played five games and could get more time after future trades.
Charania said pacers will be very active between now and the trade deadline. They are currently only 13th in the East, and the Pacers supermarket has officially opened. The US media Outlet Reported conducted a fan survey on who should the Pacers trade? 50% of fans chose to trade all three, 29% chose to trade Le Vere and Turner, 12.4% chose to trade Le Vere and Sabonis Jr., and only 8.6% chose not to trade any of them.
