Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, G Ish Smith, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 10th – WAS)
Washington Wizards Receive: G Malcolm Brogdon
Speaking of that mediocrity treadmill, have you been following the Indiana Pacers over the last several years?
They’ve suffered from the same affliction. With that said, they took a massive step towards a cure at the 2021-22 trade deadline. When this team swapped Domantas Sabonis for the much younger Tyrese Haliburton, they changed the course of their franchise.
Where they’re headed next is anybody’s guess. Team president Kevin Pritchard claims that the Pacers don’t rebuild: they only retool.
That’s fair. The Pacers are a small-market team who’d generally prefer to be consistently good than occasionally great.

Still, if the ninth overall pick is on the table, they shouldn’t be able to resist it.
