My thoughts on some Pacer targets, see description. Lets discuss


SUCCESS

Pacers: Hali/Mathurin (Hield for this season)/Anunoby/Toppin/Turner

OG obviously fits with just about anyone, but his defense is especially valuable and his catch/shoot ability is beneficial next to a guy like Mathurin. Obi on the other hand would get an opportunity to succeed in a fast paced transitional offense that suits his skills. In the event that it doesn't work out, the Pacers could look to guys like Jarace Walker, Kris Murray, Taylor Hendricks, among others in the draft. If they decided to move OG to the 4, they could look to add a shooter such as Maxwell Lewis (my current draft crush), Jett Howard, or Gradey Dick in the draft.

Raptors:

FVV (likely moved if OG is moved)/Trent (same as FVV)/Barnes/Siakam/Jackson

Disclaimer: I believe the return package for OG is fair, especially considering its in line with alot of sportswriter packages (but we never really know what GMs are thinking). HOWEVER, I do believe that if teams like the Pels or Griz get involved a bidding war could occur which would likely price the Pacers out.

In this scenario, I considered offering the Pacer 2023 pick as a lightly protected first. I do believe that the 2024 pick unprotected would be more interesting for both teams. I also believe the Raps would prefer Nembhard as the key young player in the deal, but I would guess he would be a no-go with the Pacers front office. That being said, Isaiah Jackson seems like an ideal fit at center both in play style and age for the Raps. Understand that Goga is only in this deal for salary matching considering the new Turner deal. Brissett has a little value in this deal and could be interesting as he's had some successful years under Nurse/Bjorkgren

Knicks:

Brunson/Duarte or Grimes/Barrett/Randle/Robinson

Is Toppin for Duarte straight up equal value? In general, I'd say yes considering both players situations and Duarte having an additional year at cheaper contract. I'd be willing to add the Houston 2nd as a sweetener. I value this pick higher than the Celts first rounder considering the opportunity for teams to negotiate a contract with 2nd rounders.
