Larry Bird is glad to have Budinger on-board this year. He spoke with
regarding his thoughts on the trade:
"“He’s a guy we think will fit in our rotation. He can shoot and drive to the basket, which works with how we want to play. Damjan was a special guy. He was great to have as part of our team. He will be missed by all.”"
Yes ‘Damo’ will be missed by many Pacers fans, but business is business and its time to get down to it as the season fast approaches. Stay tuned Pacers fans because this may not be the last trade the Pacers complete before the tip-off the season in late October. Indiana is committed to the change of play style and another move or two could solidify the roster for the upcoming season.
