NBA Rumors: Pacers' Guard Available For 2 First-Round Picks

With a lot of the rumors and innuendos regarding the Indiana Pacers making a potential move being focused on Myles Turner, the Pacers have reportedly made another player available and have made it known what their asking price is. Similar to Turner, the Indiana Pacers are seeking two first-round picks in any exchange for talented 6th-year guard Caris Levert. Levert has averaged 17.8 PPG, 4.2 AST, and 3.3 REB in his first full season in Indiana after being moved last January as part of the Victor Oladipo trade.

Levert is said to have many suitors including the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers, but both those teams may feel obligated to wait and see if Indiana drops the asking price closer to the deadline, a potentially dangerous risk if the 6'6" swingman ends up with a potential playoff matchup. The Pacers have reportedly also fielded calls based around packages involving Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, and Torrey Craig.
