2 for 1! The second deal this summer is reached! Aren’t you still playing in the finals?

No, are your teams fighting like this in the finals? So, do successful people have to see the night view of the city at 4 a.m.? This is too hard, playing the finals while operating transactions.

According to shams, the Pacers and the Pelicans reached a deal to exchange the Pelicans for the first round of 2026 they had traded before using the signing rights of this year's No. 23 draw with Mojave King. Mojave King was the No. 47 pick in 2023. He was selected by the Lakers at the time, but he was immediately traded to the Pacers after the selection.

Pacers have the right to sign Mojave, but have never signed with him. Mojave has never played in the NBA and has only played for the Indiana Crazy Ants, a Pacers' subordinate Development League team. He is currently playing in the New Zealand League.

As for the transaction core, the first round of pick in 2026 was given by the Pacers in Sika's transaction, which was a three-party transaction at that time. The Pacers sent out Bruce Brown, Walla and 3 first-round picks (2024 Pacers' own, the worst in the Jazz/Rocks/Clippers/Thunder in 2024 and the Pacers' own top four protections in 2026), and got Sika and a second-round pick (from the Pelicans). The Pelicans were given as a third-party team, and gave out Kira Lewis Jr. and a second-round pick, and got the Pacers' first-round pick in 2026.

Now this first round pick has returned to the Pacers themselves. As the finals team of this season, the Pacers suddenly operated the transaction when they hit 2-3 in the finals. What is this situation? I feel that I can't win the championship anymore, so I started to prepare for the next free market in advance? If the Pacers are going to maintain their current finals lineup this summer, they will trigger the luxury tax line next season, which will be the first time they have to pay a luxury tax in 20 years.

Although the Pacers still have contract players next season, their total salary is only 165 million yuan, and there is still $20 million to the luxury tax line.

But the problem is that Miles Turner's contract has expired, and he must be facing the issue of renewal this summer. He should not be able to win Turner's annual salary of 20 million yuan now, right?

If you want to renew your contract, it will definitely be a luxury tax levy line.

Turner has an annual salary of $19.92 million this season. He should be the player in the Pacers' longest-time player in the Pacers' lineup. He has been playing for the Pacers since he was selected by the Pacers in 2015.

Although there have been rumors of leaving the team several times, and on both occasions, they seemed to be really leaving, but they all stayed.

This season, Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 caps per game; he averaged 14.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.1 caps per game in the playoffs. What kind of contract is more reasonable to give such data? Among the core rotation players, Tobu's contract has also expired. Whether to renew the contract or not is also a question.

If both of them renew their contracts, they will definitely have to pay a luxury tax.

If you successfully win the championship this year, then the boss will definitely not care about this luxury tax, but what if you fail to win the championship? The probability of not winning the championship is very high! Halliburton strained his calf yesterday and needed to undergo MRI to determine the severity of the strain. There is no detailed injury report yet, so I don’t know if I can play in the next game.

However, if it is a performance of 0 points in the previous sports game, whether it can play or not will not affect the situation.

If you only get the runner-up in the end, you don’t know if the Pacers boss is willing to pay this luxury tax! If you don't want to, then there will definitely be a deal this summer. The Pacers are now suddenly operating transactions, which is also to increase the flexibility of trading operation space. After getting back this first round, the first round picks that the Pacers can use for trading in the future will become 4, 2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032.4 first round picks. The current trading market value is still very high, if the Pacers want to trade.
