Indy get Kyrie and Claxton
Nets get Turner and LeVert
This is quite wild, but I saw an article claiming Nets consider moving Kyrie and construct a deeper team, less vulnerable to injuries.
Brooklyn get in this trade a great defensive, floor spacing big man which they really can use, and they get back LeVert, who showed both in his time for the Nets and in his time for Indy that he can be an impactful player on both sides of the court.
Indy lose two central pieces, but Kyrie, although he had his ups and downs, can undoubtedly raise their ceiling. Brogdon with his defensive ability fits well alongside Kyrie, and they both showed they can play both the PG and the SG. A quartet of Sabonis-Kyrie-Brogdon-Warren can be lethal. They get Claxton from Nets as compensation for losing Turner, he showed good defensive abilities this year and can help fill the gap.

I'd rather Kyrie and Claxton tbh if I'm Brooklyn

Does Irving want to go to the Pacers?
If not, then
Buyer Beware!

So they trade Kyrie for a guy who plays 50 games a season and another guy who plays 60 games a season?

Irving is not exactly an iron man himself

Not unless I'm flipping Kyrie to another team because I wouldn't have that guy on my team.

And how may games a year does Irving play? edit: Mr Superstar plays about 54 games a year and where was he against the Bucks?

I don't understand your point. If Kyrie's health is the reason why the Nets are trading away a top 15 player for a bunch of role players, then it only stands to reason they would be looking for durable players in return, not role players who are even less durable than Kyrie.

Kyrie is a head case I wouldn't have him on my team. I'd rather start Aaron Holiday.

Re: Kyrie goes to Indy, Turner and LeVert go to Brooklyn
Kyrie is a great player but Indy would have zero interest. Brooklyn wouldn't want this package anyways, but if they did we'd just send him to a third team.
