There is a ton to love about the 2017-18 Indiana Pacers. Fifth in the East at the All-Star break; the playoffs likely ahead; Victor Oladipo being really, really good; a roster full of players you can root for; and legitimately not too much to complain about. And, to be clear, this isn’t going to be one of those nit-picky articles. (LOOKING AT YOU, RYAN.)
But, since we have no games on the calendar let’s take a look ahead at how the Pacers can keep improving during the upcoming offseason. Yesterday we published a story on what the free-agent landscape should look like — spoiler, it’s going to be cheap — today we’ll peak at the acquisition market and where the next Oladipo/Sabonis windfall could come from.
