I apologize if you were offended but at the same time that you complain that Im criticizing your comments when you were the first one to throw my comment about their wing depth under the bus. Don't complain that Im being unfair if you are doing the same thing there partner. I was just trying to have a conversation about the Pacers. I did say why I thought they'd go after somewhere else. They need a better backup big and a better point. Mahimi is a good defensive backup but is a black hole on offense. West is gone is a year or so and Lavoy Allen isn't an NBA starter. They need a playmaker on offense. Someone to set people up and not think shot first. George Hill is more of an undersized 2 guard.  I know you already have your mind made up with Levert. I wouldn't mind if he fell to the Pacers but it just doesn't seem like a smart move when they have other needs. Just my opinion. No big deal 

The Pacers have bigger needs at other positions. Simple as that.  Im not going to argue basketball logic with someone who analyzes players as "uhhh they suck" haha conversation over

Yeah LeVert has played so far against a bunch of cupcakes. I agree LeVert has a better overall game then Rudez and Copeland (both of whom can easily outshoot LeVert). But there is no way the Pacers take him

Quality observation…. Copeland and Rudez fit they role they brought in to play. I guess I shouldn't go into specific for someone who stoops to only saying "they suck" when analyzing a player's game….

They were all dealt with. All players had a run in with the law did their community service, etc. In the eyes of the justice system, they served their time and did everything to  correct their mistake. Just because people don't agree with how suspensions were handed out doesn't mean things were dealt with "properly".

Its called sarcasm my friend ;)

PG, Solo,Copeland, and Rudez are all wings. Cope probably only has a year left, but Rudez's contract is for a few more years. I'd rather see them get a real point guard or a good backup big, but I've already hijacked the thread with too much Pacer's talk as it is haha

He is a great player but that wouldn't make sense. They have too many wings as it is

Too bad we couldnt get him to transfer here. Kid can straight ball

What?! You mean other schools have off the court issues as well?! Shocking!

Then again Kansas has been pretty bad this year and Texas also probably didn't yet deserve to be in the top ten as they haven't yet played anyone this year

By the way Kentucky looks terrible against Texas. Texas doesn't look very good either but Kentucky has no offensive strategy at all. They rely solely on their athleticism

I made same correlation, Kyle being from Louisiana. It looks like Keith may be from Williamsburg, VA. He played for UNC-Asheville for two seasons before transferring to LSU. His Dad's name is Bruce. Might just have the same last name.

Yeah I was obviously joking about those coaches but besides Devin Robinson the rest of the guys I've named are playing a good amount of minutes. Every one of them is averaging close to 20 min a game, which is a pretty big role. Plus Goodluck is starting for UNLV and playing more minutes than Hanner. Hanner has a better scoring average by 5 points and Goodluck has a better rebound average by 1 rebound. So a few of those guys that I named are probably playing around the same minutes that they would've here. Sorry to hijack the thread again, just had to get my two cents in. Appreciate the banter MikeRoberts

So from your summary we can say that Izzo, Roy Williams, Dave Rice and Billy Donavan don't evaluate players well enough since those are the guys who signed those players that Crean didn't' "evaluate well enough".
