Why the Trade Benefits the Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers are in the most interesting position in this deal. They are a playoff-caliber team looking to unload one of their top players in Victor Oladipo. Fortunately for them, they would be getting into business with franchises with assets to give.

Aside from the NBA Draft picks, Hayward would be able to step in and make an immediate impact. He is from Indianapolis and played college ball at Butler. This homecoming would rejuvenate his career and bring a nice storyline to the Pacers.

Romeo Langford is a player that Danny Ainge believes is going to be productive throughout his career. The Pacers would also be able to add strong prospects in the 1st round.

Indiana is ready to compete but also has some holes to fill. This is the rare deal that checks all the boxes for a franchise. The Pacers would be able to have Domantas Sabonis full-time at center with TJ Warren and Hayward on the wing. That’s a solid lineup, to say the least.
