The Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons could engage in a trade that would send shockwaves throughout the NBA. The Pistons are currently one of the worst teams in the NBA and have been selling the entire house throughout the season, so being sellers at the NBA trade deadline doesn’t seem too unlikely.
We’ve seen the Pistons begin to clean house by buying out Blake Griffin and trading Derrick Rose, and there is expected to be many more moves on the horizon. The Pacers could be a team that is interested in making a move or two with the Pistons due to where they currently sit.
The Pacers currently sit in tenth place in the Eastern Conference and they have some hot teams like the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls right there next to them. It has become abundantly clear that Indiana needs to make a change if they want to turn things around.
