Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers have made it clear that they are not remotely interested in tanking, and a player in his prime like Bledsoe would certainly make them more competitive. Darren Collison is off to a very good start in Indiana, but at this point we know he’s more of a backup than a starter in the league.

Bledsoe and Victor Oladipo would leave a lot to be desired in the shooting department as a starting backcourt, but the Pacers would have to consider this move if they’re truly interested in trying to win in the immediate wake of the Paul George departure.

Indiana wouldn’t put prized center Miles Turner on the table, but young bigs like TJ Leaf and Domantas Sabonis could intrigue Phoenix. Would a package of Leaf, Joe Young and Corey Joseph be enough to land Bledsoe? If Phoenix finds the market light on options, it wouldn’t be inconceivable.
