<5% chance. There was almost certainly a handshake deal worked out prior to the trade (Pascal and Nembhard have the same agent) and the Pacers can offer him the full max.

This is the post trade deadline Pacers. It's what I've been saying. This is the Pacers offensive scheme now. Tyrese runs the ball up then gives it to Nembhard/Pascal and let's them dribble for 15 seconds. It's horrible to watch.

It got even better once Pascal got there (briefly). Then they traded Buddy and prioritized defense.
The team got better overall, and tonight was just an atypically ad shooting night (at one point they were 0/13 from 3, that's just not going to happen most nights), but they no longer have the offense to bury teams like the Bucks.
Everyone was saying "LOL Pacers were 4-1 vs. the Bucks!" yeah...but not this team. That team didn't have Pascal on it and had Buddy. It was a totally different scheme.
