Pacers predicted to sign ex-Bucks $45 million guard via buyout to complement Tyrese Haliburton

The Indiana Pacers are coming off a season where they reached the Eastern Conference Finals but are no longer in the upper echelon of contenders in the conference. Despite being the No. 4 seed in the East, there is a noticeable gap between the Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and New York Knicks. In hopes of bolstering their roster prior to the playoffs, Indiana could turn their attention to the buyout market. While there's no guarantee the Washington Wizards will cut ties with Malcolm Brogdon, the Pacers could swoop in for a reunion with the former Milwaukee Bucks guard.
