The Pacers are 1-8 in their last nine games which has pushed intriguing storylines surrounding the team off the court.
Constant trade rumors and speculation are now rampant since reports that the Pacers were willing to break up the Domas Sabonis and Myles Turner pairing, not to mention making Caris LeVert available. Continual losing will do that as the Pacers, or at least Herb Simon, who was adamant that they would not tank a couple of weeks ago.
Also, situations like we saw in the Pacers OT loss to Boston in which Myles Turner didn’t play (except for a brief D possession) in the fourth quarter and OT simply highlight the need to make a move.
