Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
Well, the Pacers do this deal to take a step forward.
It could work. The Pacers have a vacancy at the 4 spot. That’s Randle’s position. He’ll be joining Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner in what should be the core of a playoff team.
If Randle has a strong season, that will be especially true. At the same time, the Pacers don’t have to worry about Randle’s inconsistency in the same way that the Knicks do.
After all, they’re just trying to fight their way back into the playoffs. The Pacers know they’re not winning an NBA title next season.
