Buddy Hield scored 10 points in the first 3 minutes of the third quarter 🥵
Indiana Pacers remains one of the protagonists of NBA Rumors. Although the New York Knicks' acquisition of OG Anunoby frustrated the Indianapolis franchise's initial plans, they are now reportedly designing deals around Buddy Hield, showing their determination to bolster the roster without losing sight of their developing young assets.
Information provided by Marc Stein reveals that, despite the Pacers' aggressiveness in the market, there is some reluctance to part with Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker in a potential trade. This cautious approach suggests that Indiana is committed to keeping its young core growing, recognizing the long-term value these promising players represent to the franchise.
The Pacers' talks and negotiations have centered on a potential package that would include Buddy Hield and a first-round pick. Hield, with an expiring contract valued at $18.6 million, presents himself as an attractive asset for teams looking for an offensive boost.
The Pacers' attention remains on the Toronto Raptors, but now shifts to possible moves involving Pascal Siakam. Previous talks between Indiana and the Raptors suggest that acquiring Siakam, a standout player on both ends of the court, could be a logical choice to strengthen the Pacers' roster.
