On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files podcast, I break down the Pacers’ approach to free agency, why adding Kelly Oubre Jr. addressed one of their biggest priorities, and how their financial limitations shaped what they could realistically do.
The Pacers are now into the luxury tax and close to the first apron, so patience makes sense. But that patience comes with pressure — especially as the Eastern Conference changes around them, with Giannis Antetokounmpo headed to Miami, Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto, and Jaylen Brown going to Philadelphia. Indiana made a sensible move, but the bigger question remains: Is there another one coming?
