WHY THE INDIANA PACERS SHOULD NOT TRADE FOR ANDREW WIGGINS AND JONATHAN KUMINGA!
I want to ask you all a question this is not only directed at Pacers fans if if Chad Buchanan or Kevin Pritchard managed to see this video this is this is for you too okay does Tyrese Hall Burton’s prime mean anything to you [ __ ] people anybody does does does his prime matter
Because the [ __ ] that I saw today makes me think that we’re not worried about it I understand tyes halberton is 23 years old but he’s also a Bonafide [ __ ] Allstar okay so when I saw the report today that is starting to circulate that we’re interested in Andrew Wiggins and
Jonathan kaminga I have to ask do you guys want to win basketball games and win playoff games and win an NBA championship or are we just a [ __ ] development stop for every failed project in the NBA because I’m just going to keep it a buck I don’t understand what people love
So much about Jonathan kaminga I don’t I really [ __ ] don’t because the fact of the matter is okay Jonathan kaminga is an okay player but the only reason that Pacers fans are interested in in him is because he’s barely old enough to buy a [ __ ] shot at a bar that’s the only
Reason the only [ __ ] reason and he just happens to play a position that we are lacking desperately at okay like that’s that’s the the the only [ __ ] reason that we have any interest in him he’s he’s an overrated Defender he couldn’t hit the broadside of a [ __ ] Barn from three-point land
Okay he’s he’s an okay scorer I I think I I I even think his ability to score the ball is kind of overrated as well but I digress it is what it is I am just tired of being the organization that goes after everybody’s failed projects in hopes that it turns into something
That you know we can utilize down the road at some point like like Jonathan kaminga like we have Obi toppen we took on Jaylen Smith right we have Aaron n Smith we have Benedict ma we have Andrew nard don’t you think we have enough development guys do we have jarus Walker
I mean how many guys do we need to take on that need minutes to be effective or or need minutes just to sort of find out what the [ __ ] they’re going to become we have Ben Shepard like how I got to ask how many more development guys do you
Want to take on are we a basketball team or are we a basketball camp that just operates over the summer and we make guys better and then sh send them to other teams I mean like I I’m just gonna be honest I’m getting tired of this [ __ ]
Okay I’m getting tired of it like Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins Andrew [ __ ] Wiggins that’s that’s who we’re we’re interested Andrew Wiggins we don’t want demard de rosan though we don’t we don’t want Carl Anthony towns we don’t want DeAndre Aton okay we don’t want dejonte Murray we
Don’t want Drew holiday we don’t want Paul George we don’t want kawh we don’t want Kevin Durant but you know who we do want Andrew Wiggins Andrew [ __ ] Wiggins you have got to be [ __ ] [ __ ] me Andrew Wiggins have you looked at his stats like there’s a reason that the Golden State Warriors
Are trying to get rid of him my man’s is shooting 41% from the field this year 29% from three and I think 68% from the free throw line on 12 points per game even his defense defense has fallen off a [ __ ] cliff and he’s got three years
Left on that deal after this year and you want to take that on at 24 million plus a year there is a reason that golden state is trying to rid themselves of his contract because they know Klay Thompson’s contract expires at the end of this year so here’s the question I
Must ask okay would you prefer us to get Pascal cakam or they [ __ ] Golden State Warriors because if they get rid of Andrew Wiggins and they don’t bring back Klay Thompson guess who they’re going to have enough money to sign in the off season boys yeah I’ll tell you
What I I’ll give you a hint he wears number 43 and plays for the [ __ ] Toronto Raptors it’s like I swear man it’s I I understand that we want to make a trade I understand that we want to add Talent okay but for whatever reason it seems
Like when we want to add that Talent we’re super [ __ ] critical of everything but being a good basketball player it seems that’s that it like we care more about the age of a player than we do about how good they actually [ __ ] are okay like I I’m I’m tired of it man
Like I’m not even lying if if the Indiana Pacers trade for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga and they give up buddy hee Obby topping in a first round pick to do it because that’s probably what you’re going to be looking at in order to pull that trade off I am
Done being a Pacers fan if they make that trade for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga and they give up buddy hee [ __ ] Obi toppen and a first round pick a 2024 first-rounder because that’s what Golden State’s going to want if they do that I am done I I will find
Another team to be a part of because you are literally setting yourself up for [ __ ] failure at that point like that’s a trade that Chad Buchanan should lose his [ __ ] job over if he makes it him and Kevin Pritchard both they should both lose their [ __ ] jobs if they decide to make that
Trade because Obi toppen is he’s only played for us for like a year I get he’s not great defensively but like it’s like it’s like we’re desperate for defense and what we’re doing is just like okay Andrew Wiggins might be still might still be a good Defender Jonathan Kingo
Might be a good Defender like Jonathan kingo’s okay but he’s not great like this team gets worse if you make that trade this team legitimately not only gets worse okay but you lock yourself into Andrew Wiggins for the next three years at 24 million plus a year say
Goodbye to signing any [ __ ] free agents you thought you were getting okay we have a an opportunity this year to go into the off season with more cap space available than pretty much every other [ __ ] team in free agency other than San Antonio and we I think we all
Agree Pascal seak is not going to San Antonio okay so or or Detroit they’re they’re two of the worst teams in the NBA so what we’re going to do is what what we want to do now is is trade for Andrew Wiggins and uh Jonathan kaminga
And [ __ ] all that up because if we just trade buddy hee okay and we just let Bruce Brown go Pascal cakam technically Falls right into our [ __ ] lap but if we do some dumb [ __ ] like trade for Andrew Wiggins Mr 29% from three and 41%
From the field that guy if we trade for him you’re [ __ ] H’s contract extension kicks in next year Aaron n Smith contract extension kicks in next year you have Bruce Brown on a team option then you want to lock yourself into $24 million of basically dead cap weight for
For like a [ __ ] project and and hope that he becomes uh you know what he was maybe a year or two ago and even that wasn’t super impressive I mean I I just I don’t get it man Andrew Wiggins okay if we look at Andrew Wiggins his his
Career stats right this is a dude who shoots 44% from the field and 35% from three 71% from the free throw line for his [ __ ] career he’s been an All-Star one time the best season he ever had was when he was like let’s see uh 46 and 39
46 and 38 the best season he ever had when was when he was like 25 with the Golden State Warriors that was the year he shot 47% from the field 38% from three and 71% from the free throw line on like 18 a game but this year my mans
Has been [ __ ] abysmal okay like even even the like if he were still shooting you know 40% from three almost 50% from the field that’d be one thing his free throw percentage is [ __ ] garbage don’t count on him to make free throws um you know he was scoring 17 a game
Like I I’m sorry I I have no faith in Andrew Wiggins okay Andrew Wiggins is not a GameChanger that’s the problem okay I get it like on a good year solid dude okay when he when he’s shooting 47% for the field 38% from three on you know
18 17 anywhere from 17 to 19 points per game he’s all right but the fact of the matter is he’s not a Difference Maker this is what this team needs right now is a Difference Maker it doesn’t need a guy that they’re going to hang on to for
Three years now and you know hope that he can turn it around I I just like dude Pascal cakam is like almost the [ __ ] same age as Andrew Wiggins and and Pascal sakam is a better player than Andrew Wiggins so okay so what so we go into the playoffs
This year and let’s just say we get knocked kned out in the first round let’s say that happens right we lose in the first round okay buddy walks we let Bruce Brown Walk and we sign Pascal SE yakum to a contract that nobody else
Can like is it is it really is it does it does it burn that bad because I’m just going to be honest man if we trade for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga we’re wasting Halle Burton’s time that’s what we’re doing we’re wasting we’re wasting Tyres Burton’s time but like it is like
Honestly it’d be kind of comical it’d be like if I were if I were Tyrese Halbert i’ would be laughing like it would be like a panic laugh like like like this this is what the [ __ ] you’re giv me like that that’s that’s what that’s what if I
Were Tyrese halberton that’s how I would feel because you you are going to get pcal akum to practically fall into your [ __ ] lap in free agency and if you trade for Andrew Wigan just because Jonathan kingo’s involved you are going to [ __ ] that
Up so I don’t know man I I don’t get it I really don’t I I understand that Tyrese halberton makes everybody look like five times better than they [ __ ] are and I understand that might be a little bit intriguing to get yourself a a solidified Wing player but we’re
Developing Wing players we have Aaron n Smith we have Benedict mathine [ __ ] we even have Miles Turner even though like I’m not confident in miles Turner but we we still have Miles Turner we could add Pascal seak okay he could be the only guy we had in the off season right and
Going to next season having Benedict mathine in year three and having Aaron n Smith in in you know the SEC the the start of his new contract with Tyrese halberton and Miles Turner and with the way Benedict matan’s playing this year there’s an argument to be made that he’ll be even better next
Year but then we get another year with jarus Walker I mean I just at this point like I understand that a lot of the guys that we thought were available are are like the the the water’s getting murky on them you know what I’m saying like kawai’s resigning with the Clippers it
Looks like Paul George is going to resign there potentially as well so I understand the trade market is maybe drying up a little bit for guys that you were maybe interested in maybe dejonte Murray is still available I don’t know but the fact of the matter is I would
Really really [ __ ] hate it if we traded for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga and then Pascal seaka becomes an unrestricted free agent and we could have offered him a max deal to come here four five years 100 million plus all right and and had been a a legitimate playoff threat a legitimate Eastern
Conference Finals team maybe even an NBA Finals team at that point depending on Benedict mathan’s development like and not for nothing but the like Andrew Wiggins isn’t filling a void on this team like Andrew Wiggins is not playing the four spot like you have Aaron n Smith who I
Honestly like I think n Smith is GNA be way better than Andrew Wiggins is will ever [ __ ] be and that’s that’s another reason I don’t like this is because we have a value contract in Aaron n Smith and we’re just like I’m sorry but Aon neith and Benedict Maan
Are two guys you just have to let play you you just have to let him play okay [ __ ] Andrew Wiggins [ __ ] Jonathan kaminga sign Pascal seak in the off season give him an offer he simply cannot [ __ ] refuse then at that point okay at that point we can start like
Really [ __ ] around looking for additional pieces but trading I’m sorry but if we trade for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga it feels like a desperation move like I’m going to call it what it is it feels like a des desperation move and I don’t I don’t like desperation moves like that because
The fact of the matter is you’re not guaranteed to really get any better you’re adding players to your team at positions you don’t really need you’re taking on excess salary that you don’t really need when you can fix a giant hole in your team in the off season by
Just signing one guy to a slightly bigger than usual contract okay I mean I I honestly you know what if the Pacers wanted to pay Pascal cakam 3540 million a year I’m fine with it I am perfectly fine with it because you know what at that point our team is
A a bonafied solidified playoff team that could get to the second round or even to the Eastern Conference Finals and then at that point all you got to do is let the [ __ ] you have develop that’s all you got to do you just got to keep it together that’s all
You got to do and suddenly you have a decent looking playoff team I don’t know man you know what I’m not the GM I can’t tell the front office what to do but I do not think on on even a good day that Andrew Wiggins is the
Answer for this team I just don’t the most he has ever scored points per game wise in his career I think is 22 points per game if I’m correct like he’s never averaged 25 a day in his [ __ ] life okay hold on I lied his third year in
The league he had averaged 23.6 a game but that’s because they also gave him like 19 field goal attempts a game he took the most shots of his career that year but it’s just the idea man like I’m I’m not sold on it I I’m just not you know I I think
That trading for him is a desperation move it locks you in salary cap that you simply don’t want a part of because like trading for Andrew Wiggins means like you basically can’t sign [ __ ] anybody so I don’t know and and like I really he’s 6′ s 200 lb like he can’t he really
Can’t even play the four like his defense is kind of falling off a cliff this year 0.3 steals 0.4 blocks like what are we doing are we are we in the business of taking on people’s failed projects and resurrecting careers too is that what we’re doing now also like I’m
Sorry I hate this trade idea I hate it I hate that there’s reports about it I hate that people are even talking about it because the fact of the matter matter is okay like the front office seems to do trades that the fan base wants with ob toppen
And going after OG an anobi and stuff like that they listen to the the fan base and they’re like oh the fan base wants this guy maybe we should get him here you know and and like the fans will support him and I get that as a fan you
Should support your team and and their decisions and the players that they have but the fact of the matter is at some point in time you got to stop drinking the [ __ ] Kool-Aid okay I’m sorry I I hate this I can’t stand it I think if
They make this trade move it is a desperation trade move and I would almost argue that a a trade move like this would be a desperation move in order to keep Tyrese halberton happy like that’s that’s what I would argue this is because we’ve already heard Tyrese halberton come out and say like
I’m tired of losing I want to be a winner and that’s commendable okay but if all you have to do is wait another half of the [ __ ] season to get the guy that you really need that fills a legitimate hole on your team that can score 24 25 a game and play
Defense what the [ __ ] are we talking about I don’t know man all I know is if they pull a tradeoff for Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga I am done being a [ __ ] Pacers fan I don’t give a [ __ ] if halberton scores 100 points in a game and dishes
70 [ __ ] assists okay like I am I’m done at that point I I I will legitimately be done CU it will be one of the dumbest [ __ ] moves made in franchise history almost as bad as the Danny Granger trade okay that took a team that was arguably a championship
Roster and ruined the [ __ ] morale immediately so I don’t know man you know what it’s going to be what it’s going to be
So reports have come out today that the Indiana Pacers are monitoring the Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga situation with the Golden State Warriors and I’m not happy about it.

It's just smoke, don't believe the nonsense floating around
Were at the point now in this rebuild that we trade for productivity, not potential.
25-30M for Wiggins isn't going to be that much by 2027 someone would trade for him. You nailed it tho he's no difference maker
If the Pacers trade for Wiggins and Kuminga they already know Siakam isn't coming to Indy
U must be new to this but it may be just something that a agent put out there
I liked kaminga but i don’t want Wiggins 😂
The report comes from Jake Fisher an NBA insider Yahoo Sports.
Facts! If the Pacers want to win a title, they have to put their money where their mouth is & go after a legit all-star. Lay off the mediocrity.
