Not sure how this would happen for Portland maybe Hield and Turner for #3?
The Indiana Pacers have three picks (7, 26 and 29) and are expected to be active on draft night, and looking to move up.
Indiana is believed to be the team MOST INTERESTED in making a deal to select Brandon Miller, but it is unknown at this point who they're willing to give up… pic.twitter.com/woBUEqmWT0

Gross. Nothing from Indiana makes sense for doing this especially with Grant on the roster.
1) – this is a misrepresented rumor drawn from speculation
2) That is 40m. That is not easy to make cap space room.
3) The only way a trade with Indiana happens is if Portland does not like Miller, really likes someone that is expected in the 6-10 range, and Houston/Magic/detroit wont pay enough to swap picks.
Would look something like #7, #26, Top 4 protected 2024 pick, and Duarte (pick any sub 10m player on the Pacers other than Mathurin, just naming the player they are most likely to trade).
Indy doesn’t want to make 5 picks. what do i think happens? They pick 7th. They package #26 with some others and move that pick up into the teens. Sell the #55 pick.
Looool
3 team deal
Blazers gets star player
Pacers gets #3 and fillers from 3rd team
3rd team gets multiple picks from Pacers
