Pacers do this primarily for Ingram, All-star level player. Competitive starting 5 of Valanciunas-Ingram-Mathurin-Brown-Haliburton.

Pelicans controversial, as giving up best player, but my logic is this; Ingram & Zion never look that great playing alongside each other. Yes this trade puts more pressure on Zion but Pels win nothing without him so have to take the risk, not recovering near his true value if trading away. Turner is the front court partner he needs, great defensive stretch big & just about maybe getable. Hield & McConnell providing the elite 3pt specialist support Zion needs around him & depth improved here.

I would start; Turner-Zion-3M3-Hield-McConnell.

Great 2nd rotation, Stewart-Nance-Herb-McCollom-Alvarez

Decent 3rd rotation also, Seller-Liddell-Marshall-Hawkins-Dyson.

Pelicans also dip just below luxury tax line which I think will help a lot when encouraging the management finally over way over the apron next summer.
