    This was the *exact* package I was hoping to trade. We kept Mathurin, Walker, IJax, and Smith.

    Now sign Siakim in the off-season and this is a home run.

  2. One-Switch-1448

    this is the best case scenario holy shit

    Hali/Nemby/TJM

    Hield/Mathurin

    Nesmith/Sheppard

    Siakam/Toppin//Walker

    Myles/Ijax/Smith

    we basically keep most of our core and add a top tier player!!

  3. ohverychill

    I wasn’t super excited for this trade, but for what we gave up it’s hard not to be excited about this. have to hope the rumors of being able to keep him past this year are true

  4. agenthamburglar

    Holy shit it happened! Amazing job collecting assets and finally cashing in on a 2nd star at a position of need

  6. It happened! Thank goodness for this sanity of this sub lol.

    With that said he should fit well with the Pacers and we shall see what happens this off-season.

    Go Pacers!

    Noooo, Bruce 😢. Sorry your time here was so short, but let’s go!!!!!

  8. MattyIce260

    If the only players we’re shipping out are BB and Nwora this is a God-Tier trade by KP

  9. pakattack91

    Good trade for yall, keep our Pascal spicy please 🙏🏽

  10. QotSAMario64

    Thank God we kept Obi, dude is having a career year

  11. TheBoilingBoyle

    Take care of our guy Pascal, gonna miss my favourite player on the Raptors 😔

  12. Zealousideal-Tax-527

    Well i was against giving up a lot for him BUT with this im THRILLED

  13. MileHighHoosier

    Whoa! It’s actually happening!

    If two of the three first-round picks are for this year’s draft, this seems like an awesome deal for the Pacers!

  14. pacerjones20

    Gonna be honest. I was not really liking Bruce Brown on this team. He’s a good player isn’t worth his contract

  15. SelfImproveAcct

    You guys got a great fucking player man. Started out a raw prospect and improved his game every year. Pacers are my #2 east team now.

    Raps fan here. Please take care of Spicy. He’s a special guy and he will go to war for you 💔

  17. 210plus210

    wow. this is the first time in a *long* time that a rumor came true. the package is insane, can’t believe we pulled it off. i will miss Bruce, big fan. but wow we got an All-NBA guy who can still get All Star nods to pair with our team.

  18. This is a great deal. I hope Indy shows Spicy P some love and he gels well so he can stay. We can argue who is better, who is cheaper, but we have him, and let’s run with this crew to the Playoffs.

  19. Any news on the picks? If one is the Denver pick that’s an extra great deal

    edit: just saw it is. God damn that’s not a bad package at all for him.

    Will miss Bruce but Siakam is a big upgrade. Glad we were able to get him paid though.

  21. Pritchard should get a statue outside of Gainbridge for this trade if it gets us a championship

  22. Take care of our boy!

    Dude’s finally gonna get more recognition after everyone’s been talking so much shit about how he’s not good.

    This time, he’ll show it in spades. Couldn’t have gone to a better team!

  23. kjdhoosier

    Any reports on how likely Siakam is to re-sign come the summer?

    like the deal, didn’t have to give up on any major pieces of our core – love to see the Pacers take a swing on an All-NBA level talent

  24. Inspktor_grzl-waffle

    Let’s GO! This is absolutely a home run move by Pritchard. I’ve been quietly hoping we would make a big move and Siakam is a perfect fit with our young core. Let’s get healthy and make some noise in the East this year!

  25. fireball_boulevard

    I think Siakam is going to re-unlock Turner’s interior D as well. Let’s goooooooo
