In what might be the most underrated move of the entire Pacers offseason, the team acquired Cory Joseph in a trade in which they sent back literally nothing.
That’s right, the Pacers traded away the draft rights to Emir Preldzic, a 30-year-old player selected in the 2009 draft, to acquire Joseph from the Raptors. The move had primarily financial motivations for Toronto, which allowed Kevin Pritchard and co. to acquire the talented guard for next to nothing.
In Joseph, the Pacers now have a talented backup point guard on a very reasonable contract.
