Nov 25, 2020 11:12 AM

The Milwaukee Bucks pursued a trade for Victor Oladipo this offseason, but the Indiana Pacers ultimately declined their advances.

The Bucks eventually traded Hill and the No. 24 pick to the New Orleans Pelicans for Jrue Holiday.

DiVincenzo was included in the sign-and-trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic that eventually was called off.

Celtics, Pacers Were Each Offering Gordon Hayward Four-Year, $100M+ Contracts

Nov 23, 2020 2:04 PM

The Charlotte Hornets signed Gordon Hayward to one of the more controversial contracts of the 2020 offseason as the four-year, $120 million terms were widely viewed as exorbitant for a player of his caliber and injury history.

The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers weren't offering Hayward quite the same terms, but they each offered a contract of at least $100 million over four seasons. 

"You want to clown the contract?" said Zach Lowe on The Lowe Post. "That's fine. Just know it's not like the Pacers and the Celtics were offering $80 million. They weren't offering $120 million. But my best intel is something like $105 million, $108 million, $102 million, $110 million. It's not like the delta was so huge."

Hayward will receive more money with the Hornets than he would have with either the Celtics and Pacers, but also a bigger role.

Pacers Interested In Sign-And-Trade For Bogdan Bogdanovic

Nov 21, 2020 10:32 PM

The Indiana Pacers have shown interest in Bogdan Bogdanovic, who remains a restricted free agent after a proposed deal with the Milwaukee Bucks has fallen through.

The Sacramento Kings are interested in facilitating a sign-and-trade involving Bogdanovic. The Pacers previously pursued a sign-and-trade for Gordon Hayward before he signed with the Charlotte Hornets.

The Pacers offered Myles Turner as part of a sign-and-trade for Hayward, but it is not clear if they would offer a similar package to the Kings for Bogdanovic. 

The Atlanta Hawks can sign Bogdanovic outright and are willing to match his four-year, $72 million asking price, but it is not clear if the Kings would match.

Gordon Hayward Still Prefers Pacers With Knicks Offering Less Money

Nov 20, 2020 11:55 PM

The Indiana Pacers remain the preferred destination for Gordon Hayward as a free agent, though it will require the participation of the Boston Celtics in a sign-and-trade.

Hayward's proposed deal with the Pacers would be in the four-year, $100 million range.

The New York Knicks remain interested in Hayward, but have held firm on a lower salary figure. The Knicks have shown some willingness to go beyond their initial two-year offer.
