Indiana Pacers Rumours

09 Feb 2026 11:02:03
Dit the Pacers and the clippers win or lose this trade?
(The biggest winner is probably OKC)

I think this is a winner for the clippers.
They have to pay Mathurin big, but it's difficult to get good free agents and they get two first round picks (possible two unprotected picks) for an non- all star

I like Zubac going to the Pacers, but it's a steep price. I feel unconfortable that the picks are fully unprotected



Clippers:
trade Leonard for more picks
C:I Jackson
PF:Collins
SF:Mathurin
SG:B Beal
PG:Garland

Pacers:
Draft: Dybantsa (hopefully)
C:Zubac/ Huff
PF:Siakam/ Toppin
SF:Nesmith/ Walker
SG:Nembhard/ Dybantsa
PG:Haliburton/ McConnell.

Zubac probably wasn't available, which is likely the reason Indiana had to overpay. He's a great big man.

I see it as a win-win.

05 Feb 2026 20:02:13
Indiana gets their center so Mavs HAVE to push at Rockets:

HOU Irving, Gafford, Mashall (DPE)
DAL Sheppart, Eason > Smith, Adams.

Pacers: Sarr
Wizards: Mathurin+1rnd pick Indy 27+swap option 28

Pacers
C:Sarr/ Huff
Pf:Siakam/ Toppin/ Walker
SF:Nesmith/ Furphy
SG:Dybantsa/ Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/ McConnell.

Not close for Washington.

I like this type of move for the Lakers.

I don't know if the Warriors would do it, not sure about Kuminga's value but LBJ is pretty old. Rui and Nesmith are role players at best.

For the Pacers I guess it's good value for Siakam.

Mathurin and Walker have very little value so not enough for Bam.

Too much for Siakam and Green is the opposite type of player that Detroit is looking for.

10 Jan 2026 22:59:48
Pacers: Gafford+Hardy+ 1rnd pick LA 29

Dal: Mathurin+J Walker+J Huff.

04 Jan 2026 10:49:49
Atlanta:P Siakam

Pacers:Porzingis+Risacher+ 1rnd pick 26 (NO or Bucks) + 1rnd pick 27 (less favorable between New Orleans and Milwaukee)

Atl:
C:Okongwu
PF:Siakam
SF:J Johnson
SG:Daniels
PG:T Young.

04 Jan 2026 18:59:23
Might help the Pacers but it sure doesn’t help the Hawks. They have proven this year, once and for all that Okongwu, at 6’8” is not a starting center on a playoff team. Unless a trade nets a starting caliber center in place of or in addition to Porzingis it will not help the Hawks.

05 Jan 2026 20:02:04
Pacers should jump at that package. Risacher and the Pels pick is an awesome return for Siakam, who is in his 30's now.

02 Jan 2026 06:06:33
Hawks/Pacers/Pelicans

Hawks- Pascal Siakam, Jordan Poole
- move on from Trae and get a solid vet forward to go with their core. Take Poole to lead the bench and permanently promote NAW as their starting PG

NAW/Krejci/Wallace
Daniels/Poole/Newell
Johnson/Houstan
Siakam/Gueye
Porzingis/Okongwu

Pacers- Zach Risacher, Herb Jones, Luke Kennard & 1st Pelicans + lottery protected 1st Atlanta
- gets 2 young players and picks. Solid return for Pascal

Haliburton/McConnell
Nembhard/Sheppard/Kennard
Risacher/Nesmith/Furphy
Jones/Toppin/Walker
Jackson/Huff

Pelicans- Trae Young
- gets a floor general & gets rid of Poole

Young/Murray/Alvarado
Murphy/Fears/Hawkins
Bey/Peavy
Williamson/Matkovic
Queen/Looney/Jordan

02 Jan 2026 16:04:44
I'm not sure I'm giving up that much for Trae as the Pels.
I like this trade for Indiana though, solid value for Siakam.

Pacers: Giannis

Hou: Nembhard

SF:Siakam/Nesmith
SG:Sheppard/Furphy
PG:Haliburton/Mcconnell

06 Dec 2025 06:45:35
Discussing about it, Lakers have all the tools to trade for Giannis - also to consider, Giannis has only this and one more year left - since Reaves and Hachimura can be used for Sign & Trade deals, if they want to go to a good team, therewith Bucks can get multiple 1st picks or young players, from Pistons, Sixers, Pacers, Rockets, Suns, Grizzlies or Kings.

Bucks Reaves (+2x1), Hachimura (+1), LaRavia (1+ prot), Knecht (1+ prot), Vanderbilt ("2), Maxi, Vincent, 1st, 2nd
Lakers Giannis, Porter, Prince, Harris, Coffey, Thanisis, Alex and sign Paul

Jamal Murray - Chris Paul - Jalen Pickett
Christian Braun - Tim Hardaway
Cam Johnson - Bruce Brown - Julian Strawther
Aaron Gordon - Derrick Jones Jr
Nikola Jokic - Jonas Valanciunas

Hell yes from an LA fan.

29 Oct 2025 08:05:49
LAKERS - PACERS

LAKERS - Benedict Mathurin, Tony Bradley
- They desperately need someone who can consistently provide scoring off the bench, Mathurin is perfect for them

Doncic - Smart - Vincent - James Jr
Reaves - Mathurin
James - Laravia
Hachimura - Vanderbilt
Ayton - Hayes - Bradley

PACERS - Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, Adou Thiero & 2 1st round picks
- only if they will not pay Mathurin. They get 2 1st and an interesting young player in Thiero. Pacers are good in developing players so they can get Knecht confidence back

Nembhard - McConnell - Haliburton
Sheppard - Knecht
Nesmith - Furphy - Thiero
Siakam - Toppin
Jackson - Huff - Kleber

30 Oct 2025 08:13:01
I think i take that deal for Indy.
Mathurin is good, but i don't think he can become an all star. So we're not going to pay him.

28 Oct 2025 05:02:39
Spurs looking like a playoff contender. Here's to make them a championship contender

San Antonio - Indiana

San Antonio - Pascal Siakam
- perfect fit next to Wemby

Fox - Harper
Castle - Johnson
Barnes - Champagnie
Siakam - Bryant
Wemby - Kornet - Olynyk

Indiana - Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell, 2026, 2028, 2030 1sts, 2029 pick swap

Nembhard - McConnel - Haliburton
Vassell - Sheppard
Nesmith - Mathurin
Sochan - Walker
Jackson - Huff

28 Oct 2025 09:28:42
I like this for Indy and Siakam
I love siakam, but he doesn't fit our timeline and he deserve to play for a contender.

28 Oct 2025 20:53:57
Very good trade, I like it for both teams.

27 Oct 2025 10:04:13
rockets: Nembhard
Pacers: Sheppard+Eason+Holiday+ 1rnd pick Phoe 27

27 Oct 2025 17:57:01
I like it for both teams, Pacers should jump at this package. Houston obviously needs a PG so it makes sense for them as well.

27 Oct 2025 09:20:31
If the pacers keep losing and philly keeps winning

Philly: siakam+ 1rnd pick 29 swap Pacers choice

Pacers:P George+ 1rnd pick 28(clippers)+30+32+ 1rnd pick 29 swap Pacers choice best pick (philly/clippers/pacers)

01 Oct 2025 09:09:16
Pacers: Adebayo
Bulls: Toppin
Heat: Mathurin+I Jackson+C White +1rnd pick Indy 26 (top 10 protected in 26, top 3 protected in 27)+ 1rnd pick Portland 26 (top 14 protected)
