Making the Case: Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers have taken steps back after being a contending team in the Eastern Conference for close to a decade. That has changed, and the franchise has begun selling big names.
With PJ Washington coming to town, this would give the Pacers a piece to build around. He has improved from three-point range since coming into the league.
He is averaging 11.6 points per game over the course of his career. The time has come for an extension, and Indiana might have more room than the Hornets.
The Pacers have started the rebuilding process and have plenty of moves left if they want to pull the trigger. Brogdon is at the top of these rumors since he is the biggest name left, along with Myles Turner. McConnell is a player on a smaller deal and would still fill a need.
