The Indiana Pacers, currently leading the Thunder 1-0 in the NBA Finals, are in the midst of a widely unexpected playoff run. Led by stars Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, the Eastern Conference’s No. 4 seed was seen as a major underdog among NBA Championship contenders.

Sometimes, an offseason doesn’t go according to plan. For the Indiana Pacers, this summer has been more about adjusting than upgrading. The 2024–25 campaign ended with promise but also questions, particularly about the roster’s ceiling without Tyrese Haliburton on the floor.

The Chicago Cubs could be in the market for an upgrade at third base. While Matt Shaw could still be the future at the position, he is not going to help them win right now.
