This Pacers-Hornets Trade Features P.J. Washington

You can be a good NBA team, and you can be a young NBA team. Generally speaking, it’s difficult to be both. 

At the same time, it isn’t impossible. Sometimes, a young team catches heat. When they do, they’re in some of the most enviable situations in the league.

For example, take the Indiana Pacers. This is a young team, yet at 23-23, they’ve been competitive this season.

Playing .500 basketball is no small feat for a team in this age bracket. 

The Pacers have an impressive collection of talent. At the same time, they do have a hole at the 4. If they could add a quality young player at that position, they’d be in excellent shape. 

Here’s a deal that has them acquiring P.J. Washington of the Charlotte Hornets.
