Can the Knicks get back in the 2023 NBA Draft by moving Obi Toppin to the Pacers?



Alex is joined by Locked On Pacers host Tony East to break down the Pacers’ situation heading into the NBA Draft, where they have a whopping five draft picks on hand and a gaping hole at the power forward spot. Could Obi Toppin finally be freed from Julius Randle’s shadow to run free in Indy to get the Knicks back into the draft?

  1. Trade the coach instead of Obi if coached properly under the right tutelage could be a good piece but the stubborn coach refused to play him. Julius is a playoff liability Obi isn't.

  2. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE KNICKS ARE READY TO GIVE TOPPIN AWAY FOR A DRAFT PICK
    WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH
    THEM TOPPIN IS A NUMBER 9
    PICK IN THE LOTTERY HE JUST NEED SOME PLAYING TIME

  3. Trade Julius not Obi..we know what the ceiling is for Julius during the regular season and the playoffs..he puts up stats in the regular season and folds in the playoffs under pressure. Obi is not being used properly and not being given a chance to be successful. Every time Obi has a chance to Start and is not worried about being pulled he shows out…… free this kid.

  4. Should the same be said about Frank nitilkina or Kevin Knox? Anyone who rather have obi over an all star all nba player on a great contract is buggin..I like obi but be realistic..also we can’t pay and keep everyone!

  5. My opinion is that coach Tibbs has done everything to try to make make Julius Randle an All-Star. That has cost Obi toppin viable minutes and becoming all that he could be. Obi will be playing smart good basketball and then won't see the next quarter of the game because coach just trying to pad the stats

  6. If it wasn't for management speaking up for the younger ball players they would still be nailed to the bench

  7. We're just going to run out the same team and hope that Randle can be more of a team player. But i think this approach will lead to a step back

  8. He has a career average of 7pts about 4 rebounds. Ain't no way he's worth a first round pick. That's delusional, maybe a couple second round picks.
