The Pacers have held trade conversations with teams centered on Obi Toppin, per @FredKatz
(https://nytimes.com/athletic/6101443/202...uxury-tax/).

Toppin could end up being moved in order for Indiana to pay Myles Turner this offseason.

Indiana signed Toppin to a four-year, $60 million extension in July.

I was pretty against a Toppin for Maxi swap just because I considered his deal to be bad salary, but considering Maxi just cannot play basketball anymore for any meaningful amount of time, I am more open to a potential swap. Don’t really see how the Pacers would be inclined to take the injured Maxi but let’s say they are, does that make the Mavs better?
