The Indiana Pacers are brewing up something, alright.
You could say that last season was a disappointment for the Pacers, coming up a few plays short of advancing past the first-round against the eventual Eastern Conference finalist Raptors. That’s fine because Larry Bird shares your sentiment.
This offseason, Bird wanted to do something about it. He’s no stranger to a good (or bad) trade, but seeing the kind of action Pacers fans saw in the days surrounding the draft was a bit surprising — largely due to the magnitude of the deals and slightly less due to how positively received the transactions were to the general public.
