Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton had bizarre trade deadline call with ‘mysterious’ Adrian Wojnarowski
This year, as a cornerstone of the Pacers present and future, Tyrese Haliburton wasnt moved at the trade deadline.
That likely wont happen again for the foreseeable future.
But when he was dealt two years ago, going from the Kings to the Pacers in a pre-deadline blockbuster, ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski made a strange appearance on a call between Haliburton and his agent while details of the transaction were being finalized.
Haliburton had been told earlier in the day that he could get traded and he even informed his girlfriend about the possibility but then his agent said that the Kings werent answering calls, keeping the other team involved in the transaction unknown.
And then Wojs voice comes on, I think its Indiana, Haliburton recalled during an appearance on The Woj Pod that was taped live in Indianapolis ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend. Im like, What? How is Woj on the phone? Im thinking this is a call with my agent.

Before that, Haliburton thought maybe the 76ers wouldve been a possible destination in a deal that also included then-Philadelphia star Ben Simmons.
But until Wojnarowski thought it mightve been the Pacers, Haliburton didnt have much clarity, since the Kings were being weird and not answering our calls, his agent told him.
Haliburton told his girlfriend to not worry even he didnt have much concrete information about the possible scenarios.
Well figure it out, Haliburton recalled telling his girlfriend that day. If it happens, it happens. If it doesnt, it doesnt. Lets just be professional, move on.

That just goes to show you this guy is like mysterious, Haliburton, who was a first-round pick by the Kings in 2020, said of Wojnarowski. You dont know where he is. Hes everywhere. Hes everywhere.
In his first full season with the Pacers last year, Haliburton made his All-Star Game debut and averaged 20.7 points along with 10.4 assists per game.
He signed a five-year, $260 million max contract extension in July, and through 43 games in 2023-24, Haliburton has averaged 21.8 points and a league-leading 11.7 assists per game.
Haliburton helped the Pacers which hold the Eastern Conferences No. 6 seed at the All-Star break advance to the championship game of the NBAs inaugural In-Season Tournament, and his 15-assist, zero-turnover outing against the Bucks in the semifinals helped extend Indianas unexpected run.
