The Pacers could be buyers and look for their center of the future now, or they could dangle some of their less-needed pieces for value. There is no right or wrong answer for their trade deadline path so long as they consider one thing: value. Even when the Pacers were winning and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024, they dealt away Buddy Hield, a rotation player, at the trade deadline. Regardless of what moves the Pacers make at this deadline, it will assuredly be about long-term value more than short-term gain.
