Isaiah Jackson, Pacers Agree To Three-Year, $21M Deal 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Jul 11, 2025 8:26 pm

Isaiah Jackson and the Indiana Pacers have agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal. Jackson, who was a restricted free agent, is coming off a torn Achilles suffered in early November. 


Jackson has career averages of 7.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 14.9 minutes across four seasons with the Pacers.

So three years for less than the price of one year with Turner? I can see the vision.

if haliburton leaves in 3 years because He hates the trajectory of this Team, they will save even more money.

Indiana guy here. People here, while initially down following the one-two punch of the Finals loss and the Turner loss, are really good with the offseason. I think a 500-season is possible. You all saw TJ. A DOG. Deep team. Everyone on way up except Siakam who is still sideways in his prime. Great top-5 coach. Great fans.

TLDR: Indiana people are on board, nice gap year full of hustle and good chance at playoffs. Hali is fine. No issues.

Absolutely agree. This is going to be a year where guys can grow a ton. Drew, Math, Jackson, Walker, Furphy...all those guys should get a ton better after this year. Its a shame how it came about but I'm looking forward to it. I'm expecting big jumps out of all those guys. There is going to be so much opportunity opened up that it's only reasonable to expect those jumps. This is a team that should be scary for the 26-27 season...we'll have the engineer back and even though it will probably take him a bit to get back to himself, we'll have the roster to hold the fort down and get into the playoffs when things should really be clicking.
