The moves discussed include: Kelly Oubre Jr. signing a two-year deal Waiving Micah Potter and signing Larry Nance Jr. Bringing Kobe Brown back on a two-way contract Trading Kam Jones for Braden Smith on draft night Retaining Quenton Jackson and converting his contract into a fully guaranteed standard NBA deal For each move, Alex and Facci assign a letter grade, explain the reasoning behind it and discuss how each decision fits into the Pacers' long-term vision and win-now window. Which move deserves an A? Which one leaves the guys wanting more? And how would they grade Indiana's offseason as a whole? It's another fun offseason episode as the guys hand out grades for every major move the Pacers have made this summer.","meta_description":"Alex Golden and Michael J.
