Over a three-hour stretch on Thursday afternoon, Woj Bombs pummeled the NBA Landscape, 36 players from 22 teams were exchanged. Some were extremely famous (Dwyane Wade was returned to the Heat), some were extremely obscure (the rights to Milovan Rakovic were bequeathed to Portland), none were Indiana Pacers.
No trades for Indiana.
This doesn’t mean that Indiana wasn’t involved in talks. There were reports that Indiana was open to using its cap space to absorb a bad contract from another team, as long as that team included a first round pick for the Pacers’ troubles.
