It probably wouldn't happen, but the Indiana Pacers signing Isaiah Hartenstein away from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the offseason (assuming they decline his $28.5 million team option) would certainly move the needle in their direction.
And it seems like Sam Vecenie of the "Game Theory Podcast" would agree with this as well, though they likely wouldn't be able to afford him.
"[Isaiah] Hartenstein would be amazing," Vecenie said. "I don't think [the Pacers will] have the money to do Hartenstein. I think he'll get too much."
Isaiah Hartenstein would be great for the Pacers
Hartenstein enjoyed a late breakout with the New York Knicks in 2023-24 before joining the Thunder and playing an instrumental role in their championship win last season.
