Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon played a career-low 36 games during the 2021-22 season.
"I think the biggest thing for me right now is an incredible amount of optionality," Pritchard said after the draft lottery."And when you look at it from adding a young piece, a core piece at 6 to this group, all the way from using our cap space to take in a player and grab another pick, the gamut of where we can go is wider and a higher beta than anytime I've ever been around.
Pritchard said the Pacers will explore dozens of scenarios ahead of the draft, and I think trading Brogdon should be one of them. Brogdon played just eight games with Haliburton after the trade deadline due to injury, and although they weren't a bad tandem, Brogdon is too old and injury-prone to make make them a realistic backcourt of the future. The 29-year-old was limited to a career-low 36 games during the 2021-22 season, which is just 10 games games more than 22-year-old Haliburton played for the Pacers after he was traded.
Not to mention Haliburton still has three years left on his rookie deal while Brogdon is owed roughly $67 million over the next three seasons. The No. 6 pick allows Indiana to pair another talented young player alongside Haliburton, perhaps Arizona's Bennedict Mathurin, Purdue's Jaden Ivey, Iowa's Keegan Murray or G League Ignite's Dyson Daniels, among others. But by trading Brogdon, the"optionality" Pritchard emphasized at the draft lottery could be expanded in the form of a higher pick or an additional lottery pick.
