Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
Of course, this deal uses the opposite logic for the Pacers. They’re exclusively thinking about the future.

It’s hard to say whether Wiseman will be a meaningful part of it. His development in Golden State has been slow so far.
At the same time, he may benefit from being part of a rebuilding team like the Pacers.
