Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
Of course, teams tank for a reason. They’re hoping to land a franchise player. The Pacers already have one.
Tyrese Haliburton is that guy. This is one of the best passers in the NBA, and one of the best shooters. That skillset alone qualifies him to be Indiana’s lead man.
Moreover, this team has a number of solid pieces. There’s a reason everybody wants Myles Turner. Buddy Hield is one of the best shooters in the league. Benedict Mathurin is a Rookie of the Year candidate.
This is a good team. Why not make it better? Here, they’re adding arguably the best 3-and-D wing in the NBA. Moreover, Anunoby is young enough to grow alongside Haliburton.
