4 Certainties Indiana Pacers can hold onto during uncertain times for NBA

A starting lineup for Indiana Pacers to roll into next season
Myles Turner, Domantas Sabonis, Victor Oladipo, and Malcolm Brogdon combine for a laundry list of accolades. It’s not the league’s best core, but it is one of the most talented grouping of players in the Eastern Conference.
To add to that, the man that completes the starting lineup in T.J. Warren is having the most complete season of his career.
All five of these players are under contract going into next season. While the Pacers were flooded with questions internally and externally over the potential fit issues with Sabonis and Turner both starting, it’s fairly safe to say those questions have been put to rest — the starting frontcourt is fine.

Tweaks can be made still and if a better lineup presents itself the Pacers can go with that. But heading into the offseason and going into next year, this five-man lineup looks to be the one the Pacers roll out.
No need to head to free agency to get a final piece, no need to scramble to inject a backup-level player into the starting five and hope that it doesn’t decimate the team’s progress. There is a degree of certainty here that is calming and that Pacers fans can certainly appreciate it.
This lineup has only appeared in 86 minutes together this season, but put up a net rating of 10.3.
