Beyond losing Myles Turner to the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency, the Indiana Pacers didn't have much an eventful offseason.

They acquired Kam Jones and Taelon Peter, both second-round picks in this year's draft, and they traded for Jay Huff. The Pacers also signed Isaiah Jackson, Aaron Nesmith, and Quenton Jackson to new contracts as well.
