The Indiana Pacers are expected to make some moves at the February 10th NBA Trade Deadline, but those plans have changed slightly following Myles Turner's injury. While he was one player who seems to be on his way out for sure, the big man could now stay put.
That being said, it appears Caris LeVert is the next man up for the Pacers as a viable target for several teams, but Domantas Sabonis is still a star who many organizations are eyeing as well, specifically the Sacramento Kings.
Via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype:
Now, most executives believe Caris LeVert is the guy most likely to be traded in Indiana following Myles Turner’s injury news. However, that doesn’t mean teams aren’t holding out hope for Domantas Sabonis like Sacramento, as The Athletic’s Sam Amick recently mentioned on their podcast. It seems certain that the Kings are star hunting, whether it’s for Sabonis or in the Ben Simmons talks.
Per sources close to HoopsHype, the Pacers want a first-round pick and a promising young player in exchange for LeVert, but it remains to be seen if they'll get that. The Cavs could be an interesting fit in this regard because of their young roster and draft capital.
LeVert is in the midst of a solid campaign for Indiana, averaging 18.1 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.5 rebounds. He's played 31 games for the slumping Pacers, who have lost four in a row and sit at a dismal 15-29 on the season.
The organization has made it clear they want to retool, not rebuild. Hopefully, the Pacers can get a valuable offer in return for LeVert or Sabonis for that matter.
