Pacers/Pelicans/Suns three-team deal

Indiana here (Oladipo and Turner for Holiday, Okobo, and Oubre Jr.) resolves two franchise-defining dilemmas: The Domantas Sabonis/Turner pairing and the Victor Oladipo situation (which has felt amiss ever since he ruptured his quadriceps tendon back in January 2019).

They also (potentially) unite all three of the Holiday brothers, and in Jrue get a two-way stud who will help them compete among the second-tier of Eastern Conference contenders.

From New Orleans’ perspective (Hart and Holiday for Kaminsky, Turner, and the #10 pick), Turner is the unicorn center who maximizes Zion Williamson’s game: a rim-protector who spaces the floor.

On Phoenix’s side (Kaminsky, Okobo, Oubre Jr., and the #10 pick for Hart and Oladipo), they acquire a (perceived) star in Victor Oladipo in their push to end a 10-year playoff drought and placate Devin Booker.
