5 Best NBA Free Agent Signings of All Time for Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers may not have had as much success as their division rivals, but they have made multiple Eastern Conference Finals runs over the last decade.
Their free agency hits have been a huge factor in those campaigns. It’s hard to lure stars to the Midwest, but the Pacers have focused on making smart moves instead and have found success.
Here are the five best free agency signings they have ever made.
Bruce Brown may have played just half a season in Indiana, but for the Pacers, this signing was a massive statement. Coming off a championship season with the Denver Nuggets, Brown was wanted by a host of teams in the league, including big names like the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Dallas Mavericks. But he chose to sign with the Pacers, who also happened to have the highest offer.
Brown, who was a rotational player for his previous teams, had his biggest workload in Indiana. He started each of the 33 games he played, averaging a career high 12.1 points in 29.7 minutes per game, his highest tally so far. His ability to affect multiple facets of the game was clutch for a young Pacers side, and was vital in the team reaching the Finals of the NBA In-Season Tournament.
