Help wanted: 10 options for Pacers for center depth as NBA free agency opens

The Indiana Pacers enter the new league calendar and free agency with their center position fairly up in the air.

Re-signing starter Myles Turner is the team's No. 1 offseason priority according to coach Rick Carlisle .

The Pacers are well over the salary cap even without Turner in the fold, so their only chance to replace him would be through a sign-and-trade.

Bryant averaged 6.9 points and 3.9 rebounds per game off the bench and knocked down a career high 42 3 -pointers at a 32.1% clip.

Bryant is an unrestricted free agent as the deal he signed with the Heat was for just one year and just under $2.1 million .

Tony Bradley was waived by the Bulls in February of 2023 and hadn't been back in the NBA since.

Bradley appeared in just 14 regular season games down the stretch and averaged 8.1 minutes per game.

The Lakers are certainly looking for centers to trade for, but it isn't clear they'll be able to find any and they might have to keep Jaxson Hayes in the fold.

Tristan Thompson Thompson is one of a few veteran big options hitting free agency whose recent contributions have been more spiritual support than on the floor but have proven they can step in and play from time to time.
