Indiana Pacers Receive: G Devonte’ Graham, F/C Jaxson Hayes, 2023 First-Round Pick (LAL via NOP)
New Orleans Pelicans Receive: C Myles Turner
Of course, the New Orleans Pelicans aren’t the only young team that’s growing in this league. The Indiana Pacers are making strides as well.
At 17-16, this team has been surprisingly competitive this season. That’s a mediocre record for a veteran team, but many of Indiana’s key contributors are on rookie contracts.
Obviously, Tyrese Haliburton has emerged into a true star. Of course, you can’t sell Bennedict Mathurin short either.
All told, the Pacers have their backcourt of the future, and their fans should be excited about it. On the other hand, there have been some key veteran contributors on this team too.
