The calls went out one by one, eagerly and as quickly, long before the ink had dried on a contract. T.J. Warren, Jeremy Lamb, Malcolm Brogdon, T.J. McConnell, and Justin Holiday all received calls from their future Victor Oladipo once word got out they were joining the Pacers.
Never mind that Oladipo had never shared a roster with any of them, didn't know them particularly well and has been heavily immersed in his own world of rehabilitation from the quadricep tendon tear he suffered last January. For anyone wondering to what degree the Pacers' only All-Star selection is supporting all the offseason changes, that's the first clue.
