Pascal Siakam re-signs with Pacers
The Pacers were always going to give Siakam a huge deal after trading three first-round picks to acquire him. He looked great in helping them advance to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, showing that he can create a good shot whenever he wants in a playoff setting.
Siakam was eligible for a five-year max contract. Getting off that fifth year is a nice piece of negotiating for the Pacers. This is a slight overpay, but Siakam was one of the best free agents in this class and the Pacers did what they needed to to get him.
