Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
That depends – how badly do the Pacers want to build an NBA champion?
There is potential to do something special here. Tyrese Haliburton has been a breakout star in 2022-23. Meanwhile, Benedict Mathurin has been a surprise Rookie of the Year candidate. This team is oozing with potential.
They also have no viable chance of winning a championship. In a few years, they might – so why not look to the future?
This deal has them doing exactly that. Williams has struggled with health early in his career, but when he has been healthy, he’s looked like a prototypical modern wing. He could be a key piece for this team moving forward.

By contrast, White is more of a gamble. Still, at 23, he’s got upside. Finally, if that 2024 swap comes into effect, it could be a huge benefit to the Pacers.
