Potential Pacers Trade Targets on Draft Night

Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried

Not saying the Pacers could get both, but I believe each are available for the right offer. Denver appears to be stuck in a rebuilding stage, and neither Lawson nor Faried seem happy there.

The Nuggets fired head coach Brian Shaw, and brought in Mike Malone, who could better utilize the tandem, or use a few lottery picks to truly rebuild.

Both Lawson and Faried have bigger salaries, so other pieces would be necessary to make a deal work. Lawson has had legal trouble recently, so that could turn the Pacers front office away. Remember Larry Bird strongly considered drafting Ty Lawson in 2009, had Tyler Hansbrough been off the board.
