Change isn't always for the better, and the Indiana Pacers could learn that the hard way following an eventful summer.
The NBA released Indiana's schedule for the 2016-17 season Thursday.
Team president Larry Bird wasn't content to stick with the status quo after the Pacers exited in the first round of the 2016 playoffs. He opted against signing head coach Frank Vogel to a new deal. He also jettisoned one of the few remaining remnants from better times when he traded George Hill to the Utah Jazz, receiving Jeff Teague in a three-team deal with the Atlanta Hawks.
