The Indiana Pacers are 6-18 and own the second-worst record in the NBA. A playoff appearance this season isn't likely, and even if they make it, they're not likely to go on a deep run. Still, this reportedly hasn't stopped them from being buyers ahead of this season's trade deadline as they may be pursuing Dallas Mavericks big man Daniel Gafford (h/t Jake Fischer of The Stein Line).
"Turner's old team in Indiana is expected to shop the in-season trade market for big men and likewise believed to hold interest in Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford as a potential pick-and-roll lob threat before Tyrese Haliburton's return from an Achilles tear next season," Fischer wrote.
