Off-season. Pappy is in baseball mode.....

Serious question to all Pacers fans. Yes or no? With Hali out, a year, my take is, why not? If he busts, so be it. Hali is back in 26-27. He plays like VO of old, and then Hali comes back? Well. I'd like that very much. But I may well be in the minority here.

Is VO a free agent?

Yes, he hasn't played in the league since 2022-23. I have no problem if the Pacers sign him, but expectations on minutes and money have to be set. The Pacers are still a relatively young team, so there's no good reason to play him a lot of minutes or promise him anything but a spot on the team. He'll also need to bring a leadership quality that I am not sure he's shown in the NBA previously. If the Pacers are going to fill a roster spot with a 10+ year vet, that player has to fill a specific role ie a team first, mature leader. If he's going to worry about playing time and his role, it's not going to work and shouldn't be considered. If he's looking to prove himself as a veteran leader, then go for it. Keep in mind he hasn't played even close to a full season (Covid season notwithstanding) since the 2017-18 season. So I don't know what he's looking for in regards to playing time or money, but it has to be based on reality, not ego or the glory days yesteryear.

The Loong-Lions! And smoothly Vic crossed up the defender, classic Vic.

Once again this all leads me to believe he's looking for a specific amount of $. You can't tell me not one team wouldn't have taken a flyer on him for the veteran's minimum which for him would be like 3.6M. But maybe teams don't trust that he can play a full season.
