As it stands, the Indiana Pacers are not expected to re-sign veteran forward James Johnson, and that could be a big mistake as the team is in more need of an extra veteran presence now more than ever.
With Tyrese Haliburton out for next year and Myles Turner having signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, the Pacers are already short some real leaders and voices in the locker room. Furthermore, now that it looks like Johnson is on his way out as well, the Pacers' locker room is taking a big hit.
On the court, Johnson does not provide much value, if any at all.
