The Pacers are the most individual team in the league, and even if the team results are bad, the Pacers never mess up, so the Pacers' highest pick is only the 6th pick in 22 years and 2 in 5 years0.3 billion US dollars, 5 years 2With $500 million, Sika and Haliburton, the Pacers will be super rising.
The Pacers are not a good draft pick, with the 13th pick in 2021 selecting Duarte, the 6th pick in 2022 selecting Mathurin, and the 8th pick in 2023 selecting Walker, none of them became the core of the Pacers, and Duarte was also traded by the Pacers to the Kings in exchange for 2 second-rounders.
The principle of the Pacers is that if the draft doesn't work, they rely on trades, and before the mid-2022 trade, the Pacers traded two-time All-Star Jr. to get Haliburton for the Kings.
Pierce has commented that this is the fairest trade in NBA history, a win-win deal, the Kings got Sa Jr. to finally make the playoffs after 17 years, and Haliburton has improved rapidly with the Pacers and has been selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star starter this season.
Haliburton has 21 in 43 games this season8 points 11With seven assists, he is the league's leading assists leader, Haliburton has 37 double-doubles and one triple-double this season.
Haliburton's assist-to-turnover ratio is as high as 49, ranked 4th in the league, as the best point guard in the league, Haliburton's ability to control mistakes is a must, and he can be called the god of a new generation of point guards.
Sika has 22 points and 6 points in 54 games this season4 rebounds 4Eight assists and he shot 53Ranked 27th in the league at 5%, Sika is very efficient.
The Pacers have decided to build a team around Haliburton, so the Pacers will ask Haliburton for advice on the trade, and on February 16, Haliburton revealed that he had consulted Sika and asked him if he would like to trade with the Pacers.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Sika, the Pacers got Sika at the cost of Brown +3 first-rounders, and the Pacers have a core lineup of Sika and Haliburton.
Sika once turned down the Warriors' offer to join the Pacers, and in Sika's eyes, the Pacers' future prospects are better than those of the Warriors. I have to say that the god of point guard is really fragrant, because of his existence, many stars are willing to defect to the Indiana Pacers.
The combination of Haliburton and Sika complements each other and they will lead the Pacers to the top. The Pacers and Haliburton signed an early contract extension last summer, and he got a five-year 20.3 billion maximum 5 years 2With a contract of 4.3 billion, Haliburton will get 5 years and 2The 4.3 billion would have to be named to the All-Star team to qualify for Rose's terms.
Now that the league rules that each player can only play more than 65 games to participate in the selection of various honors, Haliburton has missed 13 games, and if Haliburton misses four more games, he will be two years old4.3 billion missed.
Sika became a free agent this summer, and it is more difficult for Sika to be selected for the best team, so Sika can only get a five-year 2500 million contracts.
Haliburton is now averaging 127 assists, while there are only 16 single-season assists in NBA history with 12+, including 8 for Stockton, 6 for Magic Johnson, 1 for Isaiah Thomas, and 1 each for Kevin Porter, Haliburton is expected to perform miracles.
Haliburton is the god of the new generation of point guards, and Sika is the perfect second-in-command, and the two will play together for at least five years, which also gives the Pacers the confidence to win the championship.
The Pacers are now 31-25 and sit in sixth place in the East, and in addition to the excellent performances of the two main players, the Pacers role players should not be underestimated.
What the Pacers do best is to make rookies that have been eliminated by other teams shine here, and Nesmith is the Celtics' No. 14 rookie in 20 years, and he can now get 126 points 3With 9 rebounds, Nesmith is also a mad dog, averaging 3 fouls per gameRanked 4th in the league three times, his defense has earned him playing time.
Jalen Smith is the Suns' No. 10 rookie in 2020, and he can now get a 108 points 56 rebounds and a whopping 63 shooting percentage2% 5th place in the league.
Toppin is the Knicks' No. 8 pick in 2020, and he can get 109 points 39 rebounds and shooting 568% 18th place in the league.
Topin's three 20-year lottery picks didn't play on their respective teams, and the Pacers got them for a very small price, and now Toppin is at home with the Pacers, and Topin's contract expires this summer, and the Pacers will keep them as long as the asking price is reasonable.
The Pacers are a civilian team, their biggest characteristic is their tenacious style, extremely tenacious on the court, the Pacers ushered in the O'Neal Jr. era in 2003, ushered in the George era in 2012, and now they are back in the Haliburton era, the Pacers are the outliers of the league, and their style of not messing up is also admired by fans.
The Pacers now have two leading stars such as Haliburton and Sika, as well as Topin's excellent role players, and the Pacers have also entered an upward period, Haliburton said that the current Pacers can reach the Eastern Conference Finals, and I believe that the Pacers' results will get better and better, and they do have the strength to win the championship. Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a review**.
