1. Indiana Pacers

Perhaps the most obvious potential destination would be the Indiana Pacers, as they have needed a legitimate franchise caliber point guard for quite some time. George Hill has been their point guard for the past few seasons, and it simply hasn’t worked out.

One trade that could potentially benefit both teams would be a swap of David West and C.J. Watson for Kendrick Perkins and Reggie Jackson. Obviously the Pacers would have to add something to sweeten the deal for Oklahoma City, but it wouldn’t be a bad deal both ways. The Pacers would be getting their point guard of the future and an expiring deal, while the Thunder would get a solid backup point guard and a way above average role player and veteran forward.

Jackson would immediately take the Pacers a step closer towards being championship contenders, and would look very dangerous alongside of Paul George.

This is just one possibility, but it is without a doubt the best fit for him. The Pacers have been looking to upgrade their point guard position, and if Jackson becomes available it wouldn’t be surprising to see Larry Bird make an effort to acquire him.
