TRADE: Pacers Trade 23rd Pick to NOP For Their Own 2026 FRP - SleepingHero - 06-17-2025

NBA draft deal: The Indiana Pacers are trading their No. 23 pick and the rights to Mojave King to the New Orleans Pelicans for Indiana's own 2026 first-round pick back which the Pelicans had previously acquired, sources tell ESPN.

Probably makes sense. Scouting is a year round job but the draft for Indy is the last thing they are thinking about. So they clear a little money and get their first back next year. To either use or I believe this will give them all their future picks back in case they want to use in a trade.

Pretty surprised how quick they moved the 23rd pick. Also gives us a good baseline what a mid to late FRP could be had for.

2026 Indy FRP is probably more likely to be worse than #23, so here is the value for New Orleans. Indy now has all of their future FRP available.

They'll probably move back a few spots position wise unless they repeat the slow start of this season, but that could be negated by the strength of the draft class or flexibility this affords them.

Indiana's FO has adults in the room.
