I expected the Pacers to be active at the trade deadline and they have been. First, agreeing to deal Caris LeVert to the Cavaliers for cap space + draft assets, then a major six-player deal with the Kings centered on Domantas Sabonis for Tyrese Haliburton.
Among the items discussed on this episode:
- The Pacers’ new direction and why both deals made sense
- LeVert’s 13 months in Indiana
- Haliburton surprising availability and the Pacers being thrilled to land him
- What I’ve been told about him and his booming, charismatic personality
- Why they’re likely not done yet
- What this means for Myles Turner and Malcolm Brogdon
- Lance Stephenson signing for the rest of the season
- Why forward Reggie Perry is ineligible to play
- and A LOT more
