1. Victor Oladipo Will Be The Biggest Trade Deadline Addition In The NBA
Finally, and most importantly, the Pacers have already made their trade deadline acquisition. Bringing Oladipo back is exactly the move the team needed. He will end up being the biggest addition at the trade deadline in the entire NBA.
Oladipo changes everything for the Pacers. He will be on a minute restriction until after All-Star weekend, but there is a good chance that he will be good to go full speed after that. Indiana has no reason to make a panic trade.
The Pacers could try to move a guy like T.J. Leaf for a second-round pick to acquire assets. Or, they could simply stand pat and see how this team comes together down the stretch of the season. Obviously, we’re suggesting that the Pacers go with the second option.
