To Pacers:  Gordon Hayward,  Jrue Holiday
To Pelicans:  Oladipo,  Poirier,  Edwards,  2020 14th pick, 47th pick
To Celtics:  Myles Turner, Jeremy Lamb,  2020 39th and 42nd picks

Reason for Pacers:  Hayward a local boy and with family in the area wants to play for the Pacers.  Pacers do plan to sign him to an extension when the opportunity presents itself.  Jrue Holiday gets to play with his two brothers. 

Reason for Pelicans:  The main thing the Pelicans is seeking is a good 1st round pick for Holiday.  Oladipo health status is still up in the air but if he could return to form, could be a plus for the Pelicans.   In order to facilitate the deal, they also agree to take on Edwards and Poirier salaries.

Reason for Celtics:  Myles Turner helps the Celts balance the starting lineup.  He is young and on a friendly long term contract.   At any point he could also come off the bench and become a strong 6th man type big off the bench.  Lamb would be considered a salary throw in, but if he can recover from his injury, he is a valuable player off the bench.   Celtics also get two solid 2nd round pick from the Pelicans

Celtics still end up with 26, 30, 39, 42 picks .  On a flat draft like this, these ranges are plenty for Danny to find prospects he likes/makes an impact next season

Celtics potential roster

C-  Turner,  Timelord

I don't really have a feel for what the Pelicans or Pacers want but if you just pull out the:

To Indy:     Hayward
To Celts:    Turner and Lamb

I don't think there needs to be any more to this.  That is a fair trade for the Pacers right there.  I don't see any need to include our picks or bench players to help get a deal done between the Pels and Pacers.

Now if Pels and Pacers want to do something involving Holiday and Oladipo plus picks, they can have at it.  I don't see that the Celtics need to be involved and certainly not adding in #14, #47, Poirier, Edwards to Hayward just to get Turner and Lamb back.

The Pacers certainly do well.

This is not really fair if you think about it

Turner is much younger and also locked up to a long term deal

Hayward IF healthy is a better player than Turner

Right now, Turner and his contract is better.  14th pick is a tad too sweet. But good if you can unload edwards, poirier and get 39 and 42 pick. 

Pelicans want a pick in the teens for Holiday

They dont want Hayward back. That makes no sense
