Pacers' evaluation of talent, not bad luck, was problem with Ivica Zubac trade
Indiana Pacers executive Kevin Pritchard apologized Sunday after losing one big bet. It’s his underlying gamble that will determine whether the hefty price to acquire Ivica Zubac made sense.No matter what comes next for Pritchard’s Pacers, they went down as the biggest losers of Sunday’s NBA Draft Lottery drawing. They entered with a 52.1 percent chance to keep their first-round pick, which was top four protected. Instead, after their pick fell to fifth, they were forced to send it to the LA Clippers as part of the Zubac trade. The blow hit Pritchard hard enough that he felt compelled to say sorry to the Pacers fans.المصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
