The Indiana Pacers are currently in a complicated situation as they are going through a change.
They are neither good enough to be contending for the NBA Championship nor bad enough to be at the bottom of the barrel.
But with the news of Buddy Hield reportedly failing to figure out a new contract extension, they may embrace a complete rebuilding phase in the future.
Hield has demanded a trade from the Pacers but doesn’t want to let himself get out of shape, as he was recently seen working out via ClutchPoints on Twitter.

Hield was spotted working out with renowned NBA trainer Chris Brickley.
It’s good to see that Hield is doing his best to be in top-notch shape while the Pacers figure out a trade for him.
Hield can become a crucial piece on any NBA Championship contender.
He averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 45.8% from the field and 42.5% from downtown.
Hield also played 80 games last season, making him one of the most durable players in the NBA.
In fact, Hield has never played less than 71 games in a season throughout his seven-year career in the league.
Considering Hield is a phenomenal shooter and is available to play the majority of games in a season, any team would be lucky to have him on their roster.
The Los Angeles Lakers were previously keen on trading for Buddy Hield, but the Purple and Gold already have a stable roster.
So, another team in the NBA may swoop in and trade for Hield soon.
