Outlook

Many people, myself included, believe the Pacers should be looking for a consolidation trade but with them resigning Myles Turner it puts them into the 1st apron and makes trade more difficult to make. With that said, they still need depth in the front court so they resign 2 of their bigs and draft another big man. This only leads to more consolidation trade talk but they don't make that move during the offseason. They do add Ray Dennis, Miles Byrd, James Wiseman on 2 way deals which is very interesting considering they traded Wiseman (he believes in the coaching staff helping his career). They end up $7,700,780 under the 2nd apron with their full TPMLE available if they decide to sign a 15th player.
