Luis Scola traded to Pacers in 3-player deal

Don’t forget how bad Indiana’s bench was last season, though. The five members of the most common starting line-up had full-season on-off ratings between +8.8 and +12.4 per 100 possessions. The top five players off of the bench -- or, the players No. 6 through 10 in minutes played -- ranged from -6.6 to -14.8. The drop-off was staggering.

(Meanwhile, this is a textbook rebuilding move for Phoenix. Drop a veteran player for a draft pick. Take on salary -- Green in this case -- if you need to, but get those picks.)
