4. Indiana Pacers

One team that is going to be working on balancing their roster in free agency is the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers made a big move already when they acquired Jeff Teague from the Atlanta Hawks and people are questioning whether or not they need to move Monta Ellis and other guards on the roster.

Should they shake things up and remove some excess, bringing back Lance Stephenson could be a very good move for the Pacers. He played his best basketball in Indiana and the Pacers are looking like a team that could make some serious noise in the Eastern Conference next season behind a much-improved roster.

He’s a player that knows his role and they can count on him to start or come off the bench. The added toughness would go a long way for the Pacers come playoff time and everyone knows just what he can bring to them.

He’s the right kind of crazy for a basketball team and if anything, the league has followed suit with his crazy. Players such as Draymond Green have proven that having a player that might get a little wild on the court can be vital if they can produce.

The Pacers have a real opportunity in the Eastern Conference. Looking at Stephenson should be a must.
