Sooner or later Indiana has to do a big trade again the sooner the better
If Indiana wants to compete for Championship they must do big trade for example they must go after Brandon Ingram
Walker and Benedict they must play more minutes I don't know why the coaches experimenting with another players another players
Until we rid ourselves of Carlisle . . . .
Everyone last year kept wanting a big trade & we got one (Siakam) & this year same old song & dance—just admit no matter who we get Carlisle will mismanage it
I think the Pacers could win if everyone bought into the selfless team mentality and really encouraged each other to win. I think one or two players thinking to hop pond and that's a big issue. SO they come to see the homespun Indy approach as antiquated. I wish we could have Aaron, Andrew, Ben, and McConnell set up the template win gritty as a foundation, then let Siakam slot in and finally have Hali come in around IST time, as with playoffs last year, and just ice it off.
Awesome podcast today

The problem this year is that they are not running the offense through Hali enough it’s to much nembhard point and iso ball that’s not what made us good last year they need to go back to running the offense through Hali
Pacers lack wing defense
