Would you make any of the moves described in this episode if you were running the Pacers for the rest of the season?
Pacers should tank for the rest of the season and try to get a top 5 pick. Then use all 3 1st round picks to go for nothing but forwards unless a way better player at a different position is available.
we won´t go to the playoffs,so i want a top 5 draft pick…but from next year i want a playoff team,just wait,our time has come…go Pacers
Don't resign brisset. There will be cheaper players with more raw talent than him. As you stated, we are slim on roster spots so why waste one on a player with little upside or impact. I'd clear McConnell and theis out in the off-season for sure. Push all your chips to the table for OG. I'd even look at Turner for ayton swap. You lose a decent 3 ball and some defense, but gain a better screener, rebounder and inside presence offensively. Ayton and haliburton would work great together.
The only things I'd like to see for rest of year is player development. Getting Brown and Jackson more minutes and less for buddy and McConnell. I'd also hope we tweek the lineup to get Ben to start and Andrew to run the second unit (what he was drafted to do). We don't need more G League guys when we already got young guys to get minutes to analyze what we got prior to using our draft haul to address what we don't. Is is tanking, no, it's just playing youth for long term team building/evaluation.
