Who doesn’t love free stuff? “Buy one, get one free” is probably the most popular marketing technique in the world. “Free money” is a common saying for bets that are sure winners, and everyone wants free money. Free throws are a great way to score easy points in basketball. Also, getting Cory Joseph for free was a great way for the Pacers to win basketball games.
Well, essentially free. All the Pacers had to send out to get CoJo was the draft rights to Emir Preldzic, a player who will likely never play in the NBA. The cap-strapped Raptors were desperate to get off some salary, and Kevin Pritchard made a brilliant move to snag CoJo for nothing.
