Blockbuster trades Pacers’ fans wish the team had explored
By Joe Lyon
The Pacers are coming off of one of the busiest trade deadlines that the NBA has ever seen. Star players were on the move all over the NBA, and even many promising young players. Additionally, we learned the true value of a second round pick (almost nothing).
We asked Pacers’ twitter what trades they saw happen during the crazy trade deadline that they wish the Pacers would have looked into. Now, we aren’t saying that the front office didn’t. In fact, many of these trades were probably explored by the front office. However, we wanted to get a feel for what the Pacers community would have liked to see. And some of the patterns we found are explored in this article.
What trade that you saw on the deadline do you wish was the #Pacers made? I'll say that Bones Hyland for 2 seconds I would do in a heartbeat.

Fans around twitter all talked about trades that they saw that they wish would have happened to Indy.
Now of course, some of these are completely unrealistic given that the Pacers are never competitive for the biggest stars in the NBA on the trade market. However, there were multiple trades that happened that were crazy good value that fans felt that the Pacers should have jumped on if possible.
