The Pacers fielded, and made, several calls prior to Thursday's trade deadline, but simply didn't find a deal they felt was worth making official.

"We weren't willing to take on long-term deals with players who weren't going to be part of our core group," general manager David Morway said. ". . . We weren't going to do anything to reduce our cap flexibility, which was something we worked really hard to get and wanted to retain. If we could have added a draft pick, we would have, but teams are holding on to them for now."
