If the Pacers do go into full rebuild do you think the Mavs could get Sabonis?

KP, Terry, Green and 2 top 5 protected picks in 2025 and 2027 for
Sabonis, McDermott and Sampson

Really hard to tell KPs trade value at the moment.

All of this recent Indy news is surprising to me, given that we hadn't really heard about them wanting to blow things up. Maybe its because they have really hit the skids as of late. I love a lot of their players.

I think in a KP deal you would be hoping (I think correctly?) that a Maxi, Sabonis pairing would work better than the Turner/Sabonis pairing. Sabonis would take some touches from Luka but that isn't the worst thing plus PnR would be amazig.

I would love Sabonis here. I think he's sort of an old school basketball player but I love his game and think Maxi compliments him well. The tricky thing with Sabonis is you will always have a tough time finding a good frontcourt partner for him. With Maxi though here for years to come I would be good with that type of move.

The deal could be as simple as Doug McDermott + Sabonis for KP. I think KP and Turner might be an awkward fit, not sure. Pacers aren't really wanting to add more salary so they might rather dump Jeremy Lamb in the process.
