Spurs solve 2 issues at once and Pacers add perfect system fit


SUCCESS

Why the Spurs do it: A few glaring issues appeared during the Spurs Finals run which ended in a gentleman's sweep loss to the Knicks. They need players that have been there before, a consistent movement type shooter and solid 4. All 3 areas are addressed here as while the Pacers did not win the Finals, they forced the heavy favorite all season to 7 games with a chance to win after no one expected them to get to that stage in the first place.

Why the Pacers do it: The Pacers have lost out on their own first round pick but have a roster that could really use some college veteran talent such as what you find heavily in the 2nd round. Mainly they receive a player who is the reigning 6MOTY and is willing to sacrifice anything for the betterment of the team while being a perfect fit with the Pacers very fast system coming off of his own finals run. Keldon Johnson despite his pudgy frame has always excelled when he is allowed to move fast with/without the basketball offensively and can provide haliburton with an additional lob threat with the ability to play 2-4 as an already very talented cutter.
