Nets enter full rebuilding / Indiana fix defensive issues

TRADE

• BKN: Kevon Looney 1 year, Moses Moody 1 year PO, 2029 1st round pick (top 3 protected)

• IND: Dorian Finney Smith, 2 second round GSW piks

• GSW: Obi Toppin 4 years, 2028 1st round pick (top 10 protected)

GOALS

• BKN: they take an expiring contract and a draft pick and they go full rebuild mode, they can develop Moody and tradce him in 1/2 years for other assets.

• IND: The Pacers were one of the NBA's best offensive teams last season, but were also one of the NBA's worst defensive teams on the flip side. Their regular-season record somewhat evened out to 47-35 due to having the 24th-ranked defense Indiana has done much to mitigate its defensive problems, but Finney-Smith would make their team even more complete after a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. The Pacers would have their guy to put on any team's best player each night. Not to mention, Finney-Smith would fit in seamlessly with their offense. Tyrese Haliburton can find anyone as one of the best passers in the league, which shows in Indiana's 65.4% assist percentage, good for sixth in the NBA.

• GSW: they move on from looney while getting a young 3 and D big that next to the best shooter ever can improve even more his 3 point %
