When the Indiana Pacers secured Malcolm Brogdon in a sign-and-trade with the Milwaukee Bucks this summer, the general consensus was that this was a good get for the Indiana Pacers.
Brogdon would man the point guard duties for the Pacers and fill into a primary initiator role on offense until Victor Oladipo returned from his injury in late January.
The Pacers gave up quite a bit to secure Brogdon. When looking back at the trade now, opting to sign-and-trade for Brogdon and giving up a first-round pick — when the Pacers could have potentially submitted an offer sheet and secured Brogdon for nothing — looks a bit rough.
