And now its come out that the front office did ask TJW about Bjorkgren. 

Nice to see B/R hasn't changed one bit since they were first founded. Say ****, hope no one cares enough to refute what you say

This coupled with the Nurse video makes Fischer look horrible

J Michael was on 1070 yesterday saying that he thinks most of that article is true outside of the tj Warren trade stuff. I really don’t think it’s entirely inaccurate. It’s not like that article is the only source that Bjorkgren has been bad.

Pacers are a mess. Just need to start fresh.

Love me some Springer. Outstanding POA defender which the Pacers need. Seems like pairing him with Caris would be great. We wouldn't need him to be an elite creator right away. Probably needs a little more refinement on his three, but he isn't bad. 

 

Homestly Kispert is the only guy I'd be pissed to draft.

Nice moment from the Pacers game just now: Brissett has the ball in a break out 3 on 2. He has Sabonis for an easy dunk starting at half court. And I do mean easy. Does he make the pass? God, no. He stares Sabonis down for 2 dribbles and takes the ball all the way to the rim and draws the foul. Sabonis just glares at him and then turns his back and walks off into the corner. Roughly 4 possessions later the roles are reversed and Sabonis makes the right read and feeds Brissett for a dunk. Perfect example of a fringe player not getting the difference between making a play for himself and making the right play.

I badly want the Pacers to trade their pick and Brogdon to move up. It's way past time to move on from Brogdon(as in he never should have been a Pacer). You go hard and try to get Suggs to pair with LeVert. Can't waste LeVerts prime.

Welp Pacers currently sitting at 13th best lottery odds. Could go as low as 17th pick, or as high as 11th best lottery odds. 

Still does feel like we've maybe seen the last of some guys in Pacers uniforms.

I mean....... the odds are much better that Golden State ends up with Minny's pick. If Golden State wants to have one more run at the title Nrogdon makes a ton of sense. Dude fits so well with them. Could be a secondary ball handler which fits him better. Plays much better off ball. Makes the smart play off ball way more often than when he is the primary ball handler, ie never passing the ball to Myles in pnr/pop. Good defender when not asked to go after the other teams best perimeter guy every night. Maybe a deal something like 

 

Pacers get: Minny pick, Rodney Hood

Golden State gets: Brogdon, Baynes, Indy lottery protected 2022 first, 1 or 2 seconds

Raptors get: Draymond, GS lottery protected 2023 first

 

I don't know if this works completely finacially, but it is the basis for a deal I have seen. Picks and pick protection can be messed around with too obviously. In this type of scenario I prefer to keep our 2021 pick. This draft is really good

I might be one of few, but I love the play in and hope they continue it after this season. Makes the end of the season way more interesting. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,181]

Intensity of this Lakers-Warriors game to begin is awesome. 

Here is what I think the NBA should do to limit injuries, back to backs and get peak interest. 

Play a 62 game regular season. Okay your division 3 times, everyone else twice. Keep the play in how it is. Think it's awesome. Gives the end of the season like a college basketball conference tourney feel as the season winds down.

Do people not see what’s happening in these “play in” games? This is absolutely horrendous and is mimicking the Big 1.0. Laughable amateur hour.

I always forget how utterly unwatchable LeBron is.

Oladipo to likely miss all of next season... I don't see anyone signing him. So unfortunate how his career ended up going after a breakout season.

Thank god he turned down the pacers offer. Dodged a major bullet. I don’t have much love for the guy at this point but it’s sad to see any players career get destroyed by injury. He will play somewhere at some point but I don’t see a big pay day from anyone.

He will have to fight like Jeff Green has I think.

Do people actually like that Domas doesn't even attempt to protect the rim. Just turns and looks for the rebound every time, it horrinle.

That's why I want everyone off this roster. Keep LeVert and Turner. Everyone needs to go. Trade for picks and move on from this god awful experiment.

Domas is never gonna get traded. Its not a KP thing either. Its a Simon thing. He is too popular with the locals/yokels. 

 

Looking forward to first round exits for the next 10 years and Domas getting the worst super max in the league

I don't even know why he is so popular. We've seen a true star in the making in PG13. Sabonis isn't on that level by any means.
