The Indiana Pacers should be looking for ‘2nd contract’ players. Those are players who are underperforming on their rookie scale deals with their original teams, but who have shown flashes and might be able to blossom in a new situation during their 2nd contracts in the league.
This is not to say the Pacers should bet the farm on any one of these guys; first round picks and young building blocks should be out of the equation. Short term vets, cap relief, and 2nd round picks (which are complicated due to the Thad Young trade, but not impossible) could all be in play, however.
