On January 6, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Pacers lost 121-129 at home to the Nets, suffering six consecutive losses. In this game, the Pacers led by 17 points, but were eventually reversed by the Nets. The Pacers shouted rebuilding slogans early on, but there was no deal for a long time. Now this team has no morale, and everyone seems to have a ghost fetus.
This season, the Pacers have a poor record, with just 14 wins and 25 losses, ranking 13th in the East. Earlier, the Pacers told reporters: "The team has decided to rebuild, and Sassa, Turner, Brogdon, Le Ver and others can all be put on the shelves." However, the Pacers owner has come out to deny the news of the team's complete rebuilding, they just want to strengthen the team through the trade.
As listed earlier, the Pacers' roster is full of famous players. Sa has been named an All-Star for two consecutive seasons, and Turner is also a space-type interior. Le Vere and Brogdon are also the league's number one outside scorers. Unfortunately, when these people are grouped together, they can never form a synergy.
The Pacers hierarchy wants to shuffle the lineup so the team can get on track. However, there is no room for trade for several championship-winning teams in the league. The most rumored thing is that the Warriors are interested in Turner, but they are not willing to pay for potential stocks like Wiseman and Cumminga. And teams like the Lakers and nets, they don't have any trading chips at all.
In this case, the Pacers can only continue to look for a trading partner, which may be the main reason why they shouted out the reconstruction early, but did not start. It is difficult to find trading resources in the market that can match Xiao Sa and Turner. This season, Sabonis Jr. earns $21.7 million a year and Miles Turner earns $18.56 million.
