Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
For Indiana, this deal will depend on their current perception of their group.
This team missed the playoffs in 2023-24. On the other hand, they did look competitive at times. Should they aim to take a step forward, or be comfortable with a step backwards?
We think the latter. Besides, the Pacers are still bringing in talent here. Tyler Herro would make for a dynamic backcourt partner alongside Tyrese Haliburton.

Doesn’t Benedict Mathurin already do that? Sure. With that said, he could slot up to the 3. If he takes a step forward, the Pacers could actually improve their offense with this move. Still, the idea here is to get younger and pick up a future asset in the process.
We won’t be expecting a Finals run next year, but hey – you never know.
