Preseason has been rough for us. Ben might be "back", but our spacing and the overall offense have been terrible with the Ben/Clax rotations that Jacque Vaughn has been running. So in this trade proposal, since the Pacers might be buyers at the deadline and are trying to win more games, they get one of the best defenders in the NBA, as well as another lob threat for Haliburton in Nic Claxton, and one of the best 3&D wings in the NBA in Dorian Finney-Smith. The Nets get Myles Turner's contract in order to improve the spacing with Ben on the floor without losing their defensive identity.

Nets Starting Five: PG: Ben Simmons SG: Spencer Dinwiddie SF: Mikal Bridges PF: Cam Johnson C: Myles Turner

Pacers Starting Five: PG: Tyrese Haliburton SG: Bruce Brown SF: Bennedict Mathurin PF: Obi Toppin C: Nic Claxton
