Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
Frankly, we’re not sure this deal doesn’t get Indiana into the championship conversation.
Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam make for quite the duo. The combined playmaking between them will keep this Pacers offense hard to predict. Meanwhile, Haliburton’s shooting will be a problem for defenses collapsing on Siakam’s drives.
Now, throw Myles Turner and Benedict Mathurin into the mix. The former is one of the best 3-and-D big men in the NBA. The latter may be a rookie, but he looks ready to contribute with such a strong cast around him.
Sure, the Pacers are mortgaging their future here. We say it’s a good investment. Siakam could be part of a contending Pacers core for a long time.
