Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Tim Hardaway Jr., 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Malcolm Brogdon

Often in the NBA, veterans are traded for their contracts more than their abilities. As uncomfortable as it may be, sometimes, the most a player can contribute to their squad is to match salaries in order to join another.

That would be the case for Tim Hardaway Jr. in this Dallas Mavericks deal. The Pacers wouldn’t be interested in acquiring him. His presence on their roster would be a consequence of them trading Brogdon for a first-round pick.

With that said, landing Hardaway isn’t a negative either and it doesn’t hurt that his annual salary descends in value. His elite floor-spacing ought to maximize Haliburton and accelerate his development.

The Pacers could use the first half of the season to showcase him after an injury, and, assuming they’re not a surprise contender by the trade deadline, move him for more assets.

Meanwhile, Brogdon ought to be the Mavericks’ perfect replacement for the presumably departing Jalen Brunson. Frankly, if he remains healthy, we wouldn’t be surprised if he was an upgrade. As talented as Brunson is, Brogdon’s size makes him a more valuable defensive player.

For a Dallas Mavericks team that’s looking to contend in 2022-23, that’ll count for a lot.
