It was clear at the time of doing the trade that the 5th or 6th pick would probably be a point guard. So Pacers would be looking to trade it now, without as much matching salary. Would they get a better (and cheaper) player without losing part of their core than Zu? I say no.
As long as Pacers ownership is willing to pay to keep this core together for the long run they made the right decision. A top pick would’ve been great but this is the best 5 we have ever had and we were in Game 7 of the Finals 11 months ago
@sixringsofsteeI We would've traded the 5th pick for a center anyways. And we needed to get off Benn before he hit RFA. The trade was good and I'll stand on that
