The Phoenix Suns have agreed to send veteran forward Luis Scola to the Indiana Pacers, in exchange for Gerald Green, Miles Plumlee, and a lottery-protected first-round draft pick.
With the addition of Scola, the Pacers now have one of the deepest front courts in the NBA right now, lead by 7'2" big man Roy Hibbert, and veteran power forward David West. The Pacers lost to the Miami Heat in a tough Game 7 loss in last years playoffs, and since then have been looking for a way to close the gap between them and the Heat.
However, at 33-years old, we're not too sure how much more Scola could provide. He did average 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds last year, but that was on a lowly Suns squad. Still, it was the best move available for Indiana, considering they lost Tyler Hansborough, who decided to sign with the Toronto Raptors. Scola is an improvement compared to Hansborough, but we're not sure if that's gonna be enough to take down the Miami Heat.
