It's still possible for the Pacers to make some offseason moves, but there's a good chance Kelly Oubre is the big one. On how the Pacers' depth chart could look now with him in it: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Revised version of the Kelly Oubre story with more about where he might fit in, where it puts the Pacers in salary and what it means to be hard-capped at the first apron: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Meant to put this out earlier, but caught up with Braden Smith at Tyrese Haliburton's camp today. On his emotions getting to stay in Indiana as a pro and Haliburton's typically astute assessment of Smith's game: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Also, Buchanan said Tyrese Haliburton has made great progress in his Achilles tendon recovery, but notes that important that he give himself and the team give him grace when he returns, as he might not return to top form immediately: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Other stuff from Chad Buchanan yesterday. He said the Pacers probably won't make an "earth-shattering, ground-breaking move" in free agency and will focus on prioritizing depth. Indicates no salary dump of Jarace Walker or Ben Sheppard: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

From earlier today on Chad Buchanan's thoughts on Braden Smith and why his quick decision making makes him a good fit for Rick Carlisle's offensive methods: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Quick story on the Pacers' angle to this and what Smith could mean for their backcourt: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Houston's Emanuel Sharp worked out for the Pacers nearly a month ago even though they didn't have a pick in this draft. If the Pacers trade back into the 2nd round of this week's draft in the 30s, he could be the kind of player they target: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

So, new thing we're doing with free agency this year. Going to have a live file looking at transactions, the draft, etc. and how those might affect the Pacers. Started with some notes on the McCollum signing and Wiggins deal. Will be consistent updates: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

The Pacers don't have a pick in this week's NBA Draft at the moment, but they do apparently have interest in trading back in and they will need to sign undrafted talent regardless. On how they could approach the draft: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Part 2 of today's series on possible Pacers offseason targets organized by tiers. Yesterday's were the blockbuster ideas that almost definitely won't happen. Here are some ideas that are more realistic: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Also, I did a piece looking at potential offseason targets in free agency and trades for the Pacers and divided them up into the various levels of risk/investment. Started with the highest-risk targets and deals that almost definitely will not happen: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Here's on on Jaxon Kohler, and how the lessons he got from Tom Izzo are helping him in the pre-draft process: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

In the before times, the Bucks used to bring in a ton of locals for a workout. Honestly, it was a fun day. The guys knew they weren't going to get drafted/signed. But part of a dream was realized & great team PR. Since the team appears to be entering the after times, might want to bring that back.

Peter Suder grew up in Carmel with a Larry Bird poster on his wall and a Danny Granger jersey in his closet. So working out for the Pacers felt like a dream: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Just got back from Chicago and realized I hadn't tweeted this out yet. Kevin Pritchard's heart hurt for both the Pacers' owner and fanbase after the lottery, but he still considered Ivica Zubac worth the pick the Pacers lost: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Had fun doing this. With arguably the most important but certainly most all-or-nothing NBA Draft Lottery in Pacers history coming up on Sunday, I took a look back at every previous lottery the Pacers were involved in: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Strung out the end-of-season Pacers coverage just as far as I can string it, so here's the last piece. The six biggest decisions the Pacers' front office could have to make this offseason with a couple of them obviously being lottery-dependent: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Part 3 of my story on what we learned about each of the Pacers in 2025-26 and what's next for them in 2026-27. This one is on deep bench players and two-way guys: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Did a player-by-player look at the Pacers' roster, what we learned about them in 2025-26 and what's next for them in 2026-27. It got long so I had to separate it into three parts. Part 1 is on the starters: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Before this year, Jarace Walker never played for a struggling team having made postseason runs with IMG Academy, Houston and the Pacers. But no player got more out of the Pacers' "gap year" than Jarace Walker did. On his development in 2025-26: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

On the Pacers playing in Mexico City in November: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

The Pacers' fanbase might be ready to never speak of the 2025-26 season again and just hope it pays off with a top-four pick in the draft. But Pascal Siakam wants to let the worst season in franchise history hurt and drive him and the rest of the team: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

Tyrese Haliburton wanted to be around the Pacers during his rehab, but Rick Carlisle pushed him to do even more than he initially wanted to. The already sharp-minded Haliburton got more of a coach's perspective on the game. On what he learned and more: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

From last night, on what the Pacers are taking from their gap year: www.indystar.com/story/sports...

From today's exit interview. Tyrese Haliburton on the misery of having shingles, particularly on the face and near the eye, and how it's led to some obvious and not beneficial weight gain: www.indystar.com/story/sports...
