McDERMOTT MOVED TO SAN ANTONIO

The San Antonio Spurs acquired forward Doug McDermott, a protected second-round draft pick in 2023 and the right to swap second-round draft picks in 2026 from the Indiana Pacers for a protected second-round draft pick in 2023.

What does it give the San Antonio Spurs
McDermott was a serviceable player in Indiana but he could see a significant spike in playing time with the Spurs this season, since he might be asked to replace DeMar DeRozan (traded to Chicago).

What does it give the Indiana Pacers
The Pacers decided to move on from McDermott and accept minimal return here (essentially the two teams are swapping second-rounders in both '23 and '26 if Indiana wants to).

Fantasy impact
McDermott enters 2021-22 as a potential sleeper in his first season with the Spurs. The 29-year-old figures to be a veteran presence on what figures to be a fairly young San Antonio squad. He is worth a pick.
