The NBA trade deadline is coming up, but don't expect the Indiana Pacers to be active. According to Kevin O'Conner of The Ringer, the Pacers aren't expected to make any major moves before the Feb. 6 deadline:

Victor Oladipo just came back and Indiana is 31-17. League sources don’t expect any major action from the Pacers ahead of next Thursday’s deadline. But things could be different this summer if the team fails to make it out of the first round. The possibility of breaking up the Turner–Domantas Sabonis frontcourt looms.

The Pacers, after defeating the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday in Victor Oladipo's return to the lineup, are 31-17 on the season. They are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Oladipo averaged 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists for the Pacers last season before he got hurt. The All-Star guard shot 42.3 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from beyond the arc and 73.0 percent from the free-throw line.

Once Oladipo gets his legs underneath him and develops chemistry with Malcolm Brogdon, Indiana figures to be even more lethal on offense moving forward.

Brogdon, when healthy, has been carrying the Pacers on offense sans Oladipo. His job will get a lot easier once Oladipo is playing like the All-Star he is.

It's going to take time for Oladipo to get his rhythm back. Fortunately for the Pacers, they have other weapons on offense who can do some heavy lifting until Oladipo is ready to put the team back on his shoulders.
