In recent times, the Pacers seem to be ready to fully enter the reconstruction phase, at least for now, the Pacers are not yet a competitive team, but the record will not allow the team to compete for the title in next year's draft.
In the Pacers, players like Domintas Sabonis, Miles Turner and Karis Left are all players who can be put on the shelf. Among the above players, Miles Turner seems to be the player who is more likely to be traded, and the advice given by the US media Kenneth Tip is that the Pacers can promote a deal involving Turner with the Knicks:
The Pacers got: Obi-Topping, Norlens Noel, first-round picks
Knicks get: Miles Turner
Such a deal would have a clear impact on both the Pacers and the Knicks. Obi-Troping has had a good performance in the second season of his career, but under the Thibodeau tactical system, as long as Randle is firmly in the starting lineup, it is difficult for Toping to have really enough playing time, let alone Noel behind Topping.
In this deal, the Knicks can exchange for an interior player like Miles Turner, who and Randle can fully form a more threatening frontcourt lineup. As for the Pacers getting two Tough players from Topping and Noel in this deal and future first-round picks, it's still a very good return for the Pacers who want to fully enter the reconstruction phase.
While the Pacers may push for a better deal involving Miles Turner, if they can't get a better offer, pushing the deal with the Knicks that brings back two toughsters and a first-round pick is still a good choice.
