In your opinion, did the Indiana Pacers get better by trading for Jeff Teague?

Sager: Absolutely. My biggest concern with the Pacers this past season was their lack of identity outside of Paul George (my personal vote for 2016 MVP). With Teague and George playing together, that team becomes a pick-and-roll powerhouse. You guys are set at the point guard position now, and Indiana’s front office can now look ahead and figure out the next move.

Washington: Slightly, but it all depends on how he’s utilized as the point guard. If he’s just the standard 15/6 guy, then they will get better but not by much. But if he’s allowed to be a scorer, then the Pacers could be a team to be reckoned with.
