RELATED: NBA Free Agency Deals For Non-Superstars That Are Done
One of the most surprising moves in this NBA Free Agency besides Kevin Durant going to the Brooklyn Nets to play with Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan, both the Indiana Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks have made a move for a sign-and-trade to bring Malcolm Brogdon to play alongside Victor Oladipo.
The Pacers lost some assets, in terms of picks, sending a future first round and two second round picks to the Bucks in exchange for Brogdon.
The Bucks could not sign Malcolm after signing Brook Lopez on a $52 million dollar deal.
Sources: Restricted free agent Malcolm Brogdon has agreed to a deal with Indiana.

The Pacers moved off Rubio because they've got a sign-and-trade with Milwaukee to acquire Malcolm Brogdon … with @espn reporting Brogdon lands a five-year, $85 million deal

While it was previously thought the Pacers would replace losing Darren Collison (to retirement) with Ricky Rubio, Indiana brings in someone better and younger in Brogdon, who was Rookie of the Year with Milwaukee.
Could they be a threat out in the Eastern Conference next season?
