Lineups Brogdan, Duarte, Holiday, Porzingis, Sabonis

Doncic, Levert, Finney-Smith, Kleber, Turner.

Why the pacers do it - The pacers take a risk with Porzingis. He has had injury issues and there could be some concern that the KP/Sabonis combo would be the same as the Turner/Sabonis combo. However KP plays more like a 7ft shooting guard. Also KP has shown he can be the guy when he isn’t behind luka. The pacers desperately need a guy who can be a consistent offensive threat. This move also the give the pacer the opportunity to put Chris Duarte in the starting lineup in his natural position next to Brogdan. Finally the pacers get what will likely be a decent pick, and a decent 3rd string point guard, which they desperately need.

Why the mavericks do it - the mavericks get turner, a Texas native, who does many of the things KP does for much cheaper. Additionally Caris Levert would be a very good secondary creator next to luka, and would take some of the burden off of him. Financially this helps the Mavs a lot because they save money and get two much more manageable and tradable than anything they currently have in their roster.
