How would you use the newly opened roster spot as the Pacers?
WONG?
Did Derek lose a front tooth?
This is such a boring topic. YES WE KNOW THEIS WANTS OUT SO HE CAN GET MINUTES ON ANOTHER TEAM HOW IS THIS A 40 MINUTE PODCAST
I will never lose hope for Lance
T J Warren
Tyrese Haliburton is currently 3rd on the Hoops Reference MVP tracker. WOW!
Theis to the Clippers had been rumored for months. They recently lost Plumlee to injury and now really need him. Yet we couldn't get an asset for Theis? Seems like the Pacers should have held onto him. Losing something for nothing is bad asset management.
I swear, im the word of JMV, "Y'all KNUCKLEHEADS need to STOP with Lance THE CLOWN Stephenson. Needs to be said, but White People in Indiana Love the Shucking and Jiving CLOWN. If he was ANY GOOD he'd be in the League, period.
Not really a loss imo. We should have released him from the beginning. I get wanting the contract for trades though
IF they sign someone I'm on the Lance train. He would probably take a non guarantee minimum and not expect to play. If needed, he can play 1-3. On the bench he will be your biggest cheerleader. Put him in for garbage time and the crowd will go wild. He will just bring more energy into the building… otherwise you could look at a strong big to throw at Joel…or just keep the flexibility for trade.
How long can the pacers just leave the spot open? I believe there are rules on how long they can go without it/a contract being filled
Derek's right, Edmond Sumner would be a great pickup. I think he could flourish in this current roster if he could get nearly 40% from 3 like he did a few years ago.
if we were to elevate a two-way, how about K Brown? we could use his defense on the wing if he has developed a shot and he just scored 23 with the Ants.
Listen New York Knicks you've held Evan for over a year how cruel
Lifelong Pacers fan, but my favorite player in the league right now is GP2. I'd love to see him in the blue and gold. And he's basically a center.
Definitively, Tyrese Haliburton can be the #1 player on a championship team. That is the development that the Pacers should be happiest about this year. It feels great to be a Pacers fan and it's all because of him
i want former iupui legend, george hill. (i’m incredibly bias)
The Pacers will NEVER win a Championship with Myles a center!!! We need a beast in the paint!!! Indiana is always focusing on offense and not fundamentals or defense!!! We do not need a shooting center…we need a center that can snag rebounds, get putbacks, and set proper picks! Start getting Oscar T NBA ready now!!! When he was drafted I said he should be Myles Turner’s replacement!!! I need the Pacers to wake up and understand how today’s basketball is being played!!!
Oscar Tshibwei has been looking really clean for the Mad Ants, maybe they move him up to the Pacers roster.
Smith has been good so far this season, after last seasons disappointing production. So realising DT now is fine.
