The Indiana Pacers face a challenging offseason, with the Eastern Conference wide open following the departures and injuries of key players. Myles Turner’s exit and Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury have left the Pacers searching for talent to fill the gap. Rumors suggest a potential reunion with Victor Oladipo, a former All-Star with Indiana, who has been making waves in the Summer League, impressing teams during five-on-five runs. The Pacers' interest in Oladipo seems genuine, as they are in dire need of his two-way capabilities, especially while Haliburton recovers.

While Oladipo may not return to his peak form, a one-year deal could provide him a chance to rebuild his career in a familiar environment. Should he perform well, he could secure a continued role even after Haliburton returns. The Pacers' strategy appears to hinge on taking risks and capitalizing on Oladipo's experience, which could be crucial in a competitive Eastern Conference.
