Why This Trade Would Benefit The Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers are a postseason team in the Eastern Conference but they have taken a step back from being the championship contenders of the early 2010s. Paul George was the star on that team and James Harden could be the new one in town here.
Domantas Sabonis has taken the next step towards being an NBA All-Star in the league. Both Brogdon and TJ Warren are strong players on the perimeter. Indiana is lacking that superstar name to take them to the next level. This used to be Oladipo but injuries have derailed him in recent years. This is where Harden would come into play.
The return would be expensive but it could all be worth it in the end if Indiana is contending for championships. This is a chance for the front office to make a big splash and show that they are interested in contending.
The Pacers are a team that is used to success. They had their window years ago and it closed quickly once George was sent away. This is a chance to get back to where they were very quickly.
