  1. The issue is Walker was suppose to play the 4 however due to the pacers getting Siakam and Tobbin playing much better than expected, Walker has in a way lost what position is he going to play. Is it the 4 or the 3.

    If the Pacers would get another player or build a player it has to be in the wing position. Because that position is the most weakest in the Pacers lineup.

    If the Pacers would somehow get a Jonathan Kuminga It will solve alot of the Pacers issues.

  2. Everybody is sleeping on the Pacers….their ceiling is definitely #2 in the East….floor is top 6 if healthy! Mathurin is a huge wildcard this year in terms of the leap they take!

  3. How is nembhard not considered for being traded? Especially when his contract extension kicks in its a good contract to be able to move. Hes the more likely one to be moved. Least amount of potential between walker and mathurin

  4. We don’t have the same run if all the teams we played were healthy. So anyone trying to say we won without Mathurin is a joke because we barely beat these teams that were depleted with injuries

  5. I like Tyrese Haliburton as a player and person. Having said that I am concerned about his health and whether his health will keep him out of big games. Also is his lack of defensive ability a true liability especially in big games.

  6. I do not think we need a third star. I think we need a second tall defender so we can defend both of Boston's big two. When we drafted Walker, we thought he could be that, but so far not so much. Nesmith and Nembhard are both solid defenders but neither is tall enough or strong enough to stop Brown or Tatum. If Walker shows progress, I'd be patient, but if not, I can see trading Nesmith or Nembhard or both for a starting big SF.
