As of 3:00PM today, the NBA trade deadline will be exactly two weeks away. While watching a screening of "Winning Time" yesterday at the Fieldhouse, I could't help but wonder if Larry Bird and/or David Morway were upstairs working on a deal that might refreshen the air in the current locker room.
There's no doubt that the Pacers front office is actively engaged in the current trading season. The great unknown though, is if they can find a palatable deal or two to make before the deadline hits.
Since we've moved to crunch time in the NBA trading season, I recommend checking out this excellent break down of the trading deadline by Mike Prada over at SB Nation. If you want to speculate on potential trading partners and options for moving current Pacers, Mike's piece offers a handy assessment of every team. Often speculation about potential trades ends with whether or not the deal works in a trade tracker. Now you can include the perspective from the other side to evaluate if a possible deal makes sense for all parteis involved.
