22. Indiana Pacers
After being the center of trade talk for the majority of the season, the Indiana Pacers elected to keep Buddy Hield and re-signed Myles Turner to an extension. The Pacers are going to try to make a run to the playoffs in the East this season.
But what I find most intriguing about this team is what they plan to do during the offseason. What’s the next step?
21. Brooklyn Nets
In the end, it didn’t work out for the Brooklyn Nets. The Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant experiment blew up in their faces and all they are left with are mismatched pieces, Nic Claxton, and Ben Simmons. The Nets are back to the drawing board after they traded both Kyrie and KD at the NBA Trade Deadline.
There shouldn’t be much expectation for this team heading toward the remainder of the season. I honestly don’t know what awaits this team during the offseason.
