It was one of the most hectic starts to NBA free agency in recent memory for the Indiana Pacers as roster staples Thaddeus Young and Bojan Bogdanovic both left for different organizations and likely bigger paychecks than what Indy was willing to part with. In the midst of all of this, two others were brought to the team in order to take on huge roles in this re-tooled roster. Jeremy Lamb agreed to a deal, and Malcolm Brogdon came over in a sign-and-trade from the Bucks.
Brogdon’s deal in particular was substantial.
