Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
This isn’t an entirely original idea. It’s a variation on a rumor that’s already in the mill.
Most would have this as a three-team deal including the Toronto Raptors. They’d be sending the Pacers OG Anunoby, with the Raptors receiving their seventh overall pick and the tenth pick from Dallas.
That’s one route the Pacers could take. On the other hand, how far does Anunoby get them? Adding him would make them more expensive, and they still wouldn’t be close to title contention.
Meanwhile, Haliburton is still young. With this deal, the Pacers take the opportunity to bring in two lottery picks to grow with him this summer.
