LeVert is one of the Pacers' best outside players. He is a capable defender who can organize his teammates well and can also create shooting opportunities in the mid-range. Currently, LeVert is averaging 17.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.
Before the trade deadline, There is a good chance that LeVert will leave the Pacers. According to B/R reporter Jack Fischer, the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers have asked about the possibility of buying LeVert. Fisher added that the Pacers hope to trade multiple first-round picks with him.
"LeVert has suitors in Cleveland and New York, and so far the Pacers' asking price for Carliss Levert has been multiple first-round picks," the sources said.
There have been previous reports that the Pacers want to give players such as LeVert, Turner and Sabonis Jr. the start of the team's rebuilding work. So it makes sense for them to try to get multiple first-round picks in LeVert, because draft picks can help them select young players in contracts with manageable costs and then develop them.
Carris Le Vere is a much-needed outside offensive player for both the Knicks and cavaliers. The Knicks haven't been the best this year, but maybe LeVert could help them win more games. The Cavaliers have previously signed Rondo, but given the fact that Rubio and Sexton were reimbursed for the season, Le Ver could be another good trade option.
Which team will LeVert end up joining? That remains to be seen. To be sure, as the deal deadline approaches, his name will continue to be mentioned in the media.
