Indiana Pacers
Trade assets: 1. Tyrese Haliburton 2. Myles Turner 3. 2023 first-round pick (7th overall)
The Indiana Pacers are an interesting team heading into next season. They are young but have enough veteran contributors on their team that they could be making a big step forward soon. They have one of the most talented young guards in the league and the assets needed to make a big move this offseason if they wanted. How they will approach the offseason is one big secret.
Nevertheless, their trade assets are quite strong compared to other teams on this list. At the top is probably a player that is on their untouchables list, Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton is easily one of the best young guards in the league and at just 23 years old, there’s no question we haven’t seen the best of him yet.
Myles Turner is another stretch-big that doesn’t get nearly the amount of praise he deserves. In his most productive season to date, Turner averaged 18 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks per game on 37 percent shooting from 3-point range this past season.
Throw in the fact that the Pacers also have the 7th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, probably their third-best trade asset currently on their roster, and it’s easy to see why many are high on the Pacers’ future.
