In February, the Pacers made a major organizational decision that included trading Domantas Sabonis to the Kings for Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield. The move was surprising for many reasons, as Haliburton was only in his second season with Sacramento and Sabonis was one of Indiana’s best players for the previous three seasons.
However, Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan believes Haliburton is worth giving up a player like Sabonis.
“We're gonna build our team around him,” Buchanan said, via Basketball News. “We see him as hopefully being the next Reggie Miller. We had a Reggie Miller mural painted on a building in downtown Indianapolis, and I think our dream is that one day Tyrese will have [his own] up somewhere in downtown Indianapolis.”
