Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal 

Well, that question requires an additional question. Does your team have an elite pick-and-roll ball-handler?

Meanwhile, that’s not the only benefit for the Pacers here. Robinson is three years younger than Turner. He could be the center of the future for this young Pacers team.
