The Indiana Pacers — like roughly half of the teams in the NBA — will potentially have enough room under the salary cap this offseason to offer a maximum deal to any free agent on the market.
With half of the league having space, there will obviously be a bidding war for any top level talent, but a Pacers team with Paul George coming off his best postseason and a winning culture shouldn’t be counted out of the derby for the bulk of the free agents out there.
They can’t attract the biggest fish, so we won’t bother seriously discussing the possibility of Kevin Durant and LeBron James joining Indiana.
