2018-19 Indiana Pacers

2017-18: 43-38 (5th in the East, lost in the 1st round)
Draft picks: 23,50
Signed for next season ($92.8m): Victor Oladipo, Thaddeus Young, Bojan Bogdanovic, Darren Collison, Al Jefferson, Cory Joseph, Lance Stephenson, Myles Turner, Domantis Sabonis, TJ Leaf, Joe Young, Alex Poythress, Ike Anigbogu

This summer's free agents: Glenn Robinson, Trevor Booker, Edmund Sumner, Ben Moore
I think Robinson will not be re-signed. Booker was a veteran pickup for the playoffs, I have no sense of whether they liked him enough to bring him back. Sumner and Moore are on 2-way contracts.

Worth noting that Thad Young ($13.7m) and Collison ($7.9m) are on player options; both played well enough to perhaps earn themselves a raise, so I could see them both opting out (on the other hand, there's not a lot of cap space out there and the Pacers did have a helluva year, so I can see them both coming back, too). And there are team options on Stephenson, Sabonis and Joe Young. Sabonis obviously earned his extension. I don't know who Joe Young is. As for Stephenson, I'd say he's a character in the Lebron drama: if Lebron leaves the Cavs, what would the Pacers need Stephenson for? But if Lebron is a Cav next year, having Stephenson on the roster might be an attractive option.

The team looks to be pretty well intact next year with only PF Young and PG Joseph possibly needing to be replaced. I can see them nabbing two foreign bigs, Dzanan Musa (Bosnia) and Goga Bitadze (Georgia) if they have time to develop some projects; or Trevon Duval (Duke) or Johntay Porter (Missouri) and maybe Jacob Evans (Cincinnati) or Jalen Hudson (Florida) if they think they need to get rotation players right away.

The Pacers got big minutes out of Young, they really would like him back but at $13.7m, I could see him being attractive to lesser teams with money to spend (veteran presence on the Suns? Or big money acquisition for the Nets?). Cory Joseph, too, is a top quality 2nd/3rd string PG, not a super sexy free agent but could be worth $8m+ to some other team out there. But the Pacers do have money to spend and would have a lot more if Young and Joseph (and Stephenson) move on--how about Enes Kanter, Iman Shumpert and Dante Exum as replacements? The core (Oladipo, Bogdanovic, Sabonis, Turner, Collison) is in place, this summer will tell how much they're able to maintain/upgrade the supporting cast (and are they gonna get anything out of Leaf or Anigbogu?).
