Between the weaker free agent class, many teams falling short of expectations, and the new NBA CBA, there could be many opportunities for player movement this offseason. What does that mean for the Indiana Pacers? Host Tony East breaks it down and looks at all the factors at play.

Most likely team to make big changes this summer?
"I think trades are coming, in some sort of way"
Inspector Anthony East, on the case.
Roster slots necessitate trades. No LeVert
Another good video from you but when are you going to have a video talk to you about the good and the bad that Larry Bird has done. I heard that he was back in the building. I hope he doesn't become part of the management. The last thing you did was he fired the coach Vogel for nothing. Traded Danny g after that he destroyed the chemistry in the team. Didn't resigned Stevenson. Any basically left after he made that big mess. NOW WE DON'T NEED HIM BACK. Kevin is nothing better than Larry Bird I don't know if the owner has any type of control with the team like the other owners do. It would be nice if Frank Vogel comes as an assistant coach. The stability with the team in the last two years is due to rick she decided to come back and fix many things in Indiana. This year is very important to the Pacers. Hopefully Rick chooses who they are going to trade and who they're going to pick. I want to see what kind of comments people are going to leave.
Pacers need to go after a trade for Jonathan Kuminga asap. He's unhappy, want's a team he can grow/real mins. He could start for us. Theis/picks could land him.
Or maybe you can throw in Duarte in another trade for Kelly Oubre. Helps fill in our Cap and maybe get a 1st for him.. Or at least a pick swap, or a few seconds. With a player.. I'd also sign Jarred Vanderbilt for a small contract. 🤑 His defense, playmaking, REBOUNDING, tenacity and ability to improve his shot. A beast in transition, get chase down blocks and can ⚓ the paint. I'd also like to see a trade for Jaxson Hayes, or Jonas Valanciunas. We need Jaxson as another PF/C. Jonas would be that big body stretch/post C that we could use against bigger guy's and give us a better pick n pop option and a C who can set solid screens, get O boards and has post touch around the rim. Get Ausar Thomson, Walker, Hendricks, Carson Walllace or Anthony Black. Maybe Jae Crowder would even sign to help us at SF/PF.. I'd love to see us possibly trade up to get another real PG like Wallace, or Black if he's still there.. Cause we will need on and Black could be very special like a big Hali type PG and McConnell won't be around forever.
Only FA that intrigues me is Dillon Brooks. He cost himself $ last year but he has value. MLE? Not sure he would choose Indy however.
Player empowerment took a step back in this new CBA. I wonder if the players association thinks licensing will make that much of a difference.
Why not Duarte/McConnell for Oubre/Rozier. Both of them would help fill in the cap. Then trade for Kuminga/ for our CLE 1st later 1st. who helps that also. Or OG, 3 1sts..
Watch almost every single video from you over the last year or two. Love the channel. Can you do a video about Larry Birds disgusting wife ?
This 2nd apron penalty, in the new CBA, will mean there will be several teams looking to unload salary. Only a few teams have cap space, including Pacers, and they should get bargains in trades.
Kuminga would be nice. But they will try to move Poole first for cap reasons. If they can move Poole, they may be better off mending fences with JK, still on a rookie deal, by selling opportunity.
Count your blessings Pacers fans. At least you're not a Wizards fan.
Gabe Vincent UFA this year. Go after him, an easier bet, go after Caleb Martin. So many player's I'd love to have. Slo mo Kyle Anderson, Naz Reid, maybe even Tauren Prince could help us in our system.
Bruce Brown FEELS like a typical "big" Pacers summer signing. Plus he fills a role we need filled. Same with Cam Johnson.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I love the idea of Kuzma with Haliburton, Myles and Mathurin. I think Haliburton can maximize what Kuzma does well, and Myles can minimize what he doesn't.
I'm all the way here for backwards hat Tony East!
John Collins is the guy on the move in Atlanta, right? Or is it Trae?
