Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
This won’t be an easy decision for the Pacers.
In fact, the organization seldom goes this route. Normally, the small market Pacers like to stay competitive. Without question, this deal will make them a worse team.
On the other hand, it’ll help their future. The Pacers are trading a 27-year-old for a pair of first-round picks. That’s a sensible decision for a rebuilding team.
Meanwhile, the Pacers won’t have to completely bottom out here, either.
