The Pacers have been listed as a potential landing spot for Harrison Barnes.

One group believes that the Pacers have a chance to bring in Harrison Barnes. The Pacers desperately need help at the power forward position, and rumors are that Barnes may want a change of scenery out of Sacramento.

Complicating the matter is that the Pacers currently have the 7th overall pick in the NBA draft and will likely use it to draft a power forward to fill the gap, making the need for Barnes much less prominent.

Our guess is that if Barnes were to become an Indiana Pacer, it would only be if they traded seven away for a high-end player for their starting rotation and were going to make a run at the playoffs. However, given recent comments by Chad Buchanan, it’s looking unlikely this would happen.
