The Indiana Pacers continued to clean house on Tuesday as they traded Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb to the Sacramento Kings. In return, they got Tristan Thompson, Buddy Hield, and Tyrese Haliburton. While the latter will absolutely be a part of their long-term plans, Hield could already be on the move again.

While Indiana has to wait until the offseason to entertain any Brogdon trade talks, the Pacers could move another guard by Thursday. The Pacers are open to flipping Buddy Hield to another team before the deadline Thursday, HoopsHype has learned.

Hield is one of the better three-point shooters around and could be a nice addition to another team. It appears the Pacers don't exactly see him as a fit with their current core. There's also a belief Indiana will trade guard Malcolm Brogdon this offseason as well and strictly build around Haliburton, the PG of the future.

The 29-year-old Hield is averaging 14.4 points, four rebounds, and 1.9 assists this season on a 37% clip from downtown. He spent half of his rookie campaign in 2016/17 with the New Orleans Pelicans before getting traded to the Kings, where the former Oklahoma standout has played for the last 5.5 seasons. The Lakers previously showed interest in Hield and possibly, they'll try to make a move for him before Thursday's deadline.
