According to The Athletic reporter Shams, the Pacers are on their way to rebuild, and Carris Levert, Dominus Sabonis and Miles Turner can all be traded. In fact, the Pacers' record over the years has been unsatisfactory, and the team president, Pritchard, has always wanted to rebuild. But due to the opposition of the team owner, it has not been able to proceed. The Pacers' record so far this season is only 10 wins and 16 losses, which may have broken through the boss's psychological bottom line and let the boss finally have the idea of rebuilding.
According to Pacers reporter Scott Agness, the Pacers had a daily training session today, but the atmosphere on the team was a little strange. Minutes after the Pacers were exposed to news of their readiness to rebuild, the Pacers head coach had a separate conversation with Turner and LeVert that lasted about 18 minutes or so. Does this mean that after the news was revealed, the Pacers already had a deal?
I think it's all speculation right now! It is possible that the Pacers have already started to negotiate a trade, and the news now exposed is basically a signal that the deal is reached. Of course, there is also a possibility that the manager will give Turner and LeVert a psychological preparation to avoid affecting the next game before the deal is made. Anyway, Turner + LeVert should be a sure deal chip!
Another detail is that when Carlisle was talking alone with Turner and LeVert, Sa had finished training early and left the stadium. I don't know if it was Sarah's dissatisfaction with the Pacers' rebuilding, or if he was also sure to be involved in the trading chips?
If the Pacers open, many of the league's championship-winning teams are expected to move. For example, the Lakers, Turner and The Walkers and Sa are all very suitable for the Lakers. Sam can improve the Lakers' internal offensive problems, and Turner can solve the Lakers' defensive problems if he comes to the Lakers, and can also help Westbrook and James open up space. On top of that, he can also free the thick-browed guy from the defense!
The Lakers have a chance! It depends on what kind of chips they are willing to come up with! For the Pacers to rebuild, they will definitely need talented young players, expired contracts and draft picks. I don't know if Little Tucker, the Pacers management can see it? The Lakers' chips are indeed a bit small, depending on the level of management!
