Built vs Bought: Is There a Right Way to Build an NBA Team?

Listen Later

On this episode of Setting The Pace, Alex Golden and Mike Facci take a step back to look at the bigger picture.

What’s the right way to build an NBA team?

The guys dive into the idea of “Built vs Bought”, using the Pacers as a case study to examine how Indiana has constructed its roster — through development, trades and patience — rather than chasing stars in free agency.

They discuss:

  • How the Pacers have built their current core
  • Whether there’s a true “right” or “wrong” way to team build
  • How Indiana’s approach compares to teams that buy talent through trades or free agency
  • And what strategy gives teams the best chance to sustain success
