NBA execs: Caris LeVert most likely Pacer to be traded

Michael Scotto: Now, most executives believe Caris LeVert is the guy most likely to be traded in Indiana following Myles Turner’s injury news. However, that doesn’t mean teams aren’t holding out hope for Domantas Sabonis like Sacramento, as The Athletic’s Sam Amick recently mentioned on their podcast. It seems certain that the Kings are star hunting, whether it’s for Sabonis or in the Ben Simmons talks.

More on this storyline

Indiana’s asking price for Caris LeVert is a first-round pick and a good young player, league sources told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / January 17, 2022

They also have a first-round pick that they may be more willing to give up because it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a high lottery pick the way that many people predicted coming into this year. They may be willing to part with that with some protections and something along those lines. Caris LeVert is a name to watch there. I think if the Brooklyn Nets decide that they want to make some changes, Joe Harris is somebody the Cavaliers would be very interested in. Terrence Ross of the Orlando Magic fits the bill as well. -via HoopsHype / December 22, 2021

Chris Fedor: Caris LeVert could be available. He’s exactly what Cavaliers need as a Sexton replacement/shot-maker/scorer. They have expendable pieces. They are looking to potentially upgrade that 2 guard spot. Multiple people in organization are fans. It makes sense to consider them a strong suitor. -via Twitter @ChrisFedor / December 8, 2021
