Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
With all of that being said, some teams need to worry about financial freedom more than others do.
The rebuilding Pacers don’t need that flexibility. By the time they’re ready to extend Tyrese Haliburton, Harris’ deal will have expired. They can afford him.
They could also use him. This team has a major vacancy at the 4. Harris could fill it. In fact, he could be a perfect fit for them.
After all, slotting him into that position would give Indiana five-out spacing around their talented young backcourt of Tyrese Haliburton and Benedict Mathurin.

Losing Hield will be a blow, but they should be able to sign another movement shooter on the open market. If they have to overpay him, it’s not a big deal.
