As the 2021 NBA Free Agency veers away from its climactic beginning, the state of the affairs in the league has changed a bit with the loads of player movement that occurred. While the Indiana Pacers look mostly the same, the team was a tad more active than last year, re-upping TJ McConnell and snagging Torrey Craig while losing Doug McDermott.
Whether that will suffice to climb in the much-fortified Eastern Conference, however, remains to be seen. Still, the Blue and Gold should be a dangerous wildcard next season, especially if new and decorated head coach Rick Carlisle has a full set of healthy players to deploy in his esteemed and battle-tested system.
