The Indiana Pacers are struggling with a 6-10 record early in the 2024-25 NBA season, placing them outside the play-in picture. With injuries to key players like Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman, they face a pressing need for a center replacement through trade.

Additionally, the team has an overabundance of mediocre wings, while star point guard Tyrese Haliburton is underperforming. A potential trade target is Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Cam Thomas, who could provide much-needed playmaking and scoring.
