Pacers Eyeing Trade Winds After Giannis Deal

The NBA Draft is heating up with the Pacers sitting out the first round, but a seismic trade just shook things up: Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis are headed to Miami in a blockbuster deal that sends Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and multiple first-round picks to Milwaukee. With Giannis gone, the Pacers breathe easier — no more rivaling Boston. But the Bucks’ new roster could mean more moves, including potential targets like AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr., and even Jaquez, who’s now a restricted free agent. Meanwhile, the Bulls, Nets, and Timberwolves just pulled off a three-team swap involving Julius Randle and Nic Claxton, and Ayo Dosunmu is reportedly signing a massive five-year deal with Minnesota — another top free agent off the Pacers’ radar. As teams like the Knicks, Hawks, and Cavaliers scramble to trade picks, Indiana can afford to wait and watch — the perfect time to swoop in on the right opportunity.
