Indiana Pacers Receive: G Kemba Walker, G Killian Hayes, F/C Isaiah Stewart, 2025 First-Round Pick (Swap – DET) 

Detroit Pistons Receive: C Myles Turner 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers could probably use a longer view of their situation. 

For a long time now, the Pacers have refused to prioritize the future. It would seem that “tanking” is a dirtier word around their front office than most. 

Some respect their principles. Fair enough. For what it’s worth, the Pacers are normally competitive. If they miss the playoffs in a season, it’s usually a safe bet that they’ll be there in the next one. 

At the same time, it’s typically equally safe to assume they won’t be in the Finals.

In fact, the last time they were, Reggie Miller was leading the charge. If this front office is getting tired of perpetual mediocrity, they might need to change their approach by making a longer-term plan. 

Does this move fit into a good one?
