How the Indiana Pacers could make a trade work

The tricky thing when it comes to trading Victor Oladipo this offseason is that the value the Pacers could’ve gotten this season or in the past simply won’t be there due to his injury and contract status.

Most NBA franchises will be too hesitant to give up serious assets for Oladipo without some kind of confirmation that he will re-sign with that team. That makes pursuing a trade harder but the Pacers would be wise to look to get something for Oladipo before he leaves for nothing.

It comes down to finding organizations that either a) Oladipo may want to play for long-term or b) a team that feels like a healthy Oladipo makes them a serious contender regardless of his contract status. Regardless, the Pacers will hope to receive talent that can fit with other talented players on their team like Sabonis, and center Myles Turner.
