Indiana Pacers

I was tempted to give the Indiana Pacers a “C” for not making a single trade at the deadline, but it’s tough to figure out where they fit in with this changed Eastern landscape.

Will Paul George rediscover his November form and lead the Pacers to a top playoff spot thanks to the continuity that comes with making no changes? Or will Indiana continue to run out of breathing room now that the rest of the East got better at the deadline?

Only time will tell, and the only real buzz we heard about Indiana all trade season revolved around George Hill and Jeff Teague possibilities. Since nothing came to fruition and it’s hard to place where the Pacers are within the lay of the land out East, I’ve got to hand out the completely ambiguous “Incomplete” grade here.

Grade: Inc.
