Basically cementing the rumors of the relationship between the Pacers and Oladipo. They were that ready to part ways. 

Yep. And you could tell he’s been done here for awhile, at least in his mind. It was a visible change in the last 4 years. More so since the injury it seems.

I say it's time to start LaMelo Ball...
Graham: 33.2 minutes, 11.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 30.1% FG, 31.4% 3FG, 80.6% FT, 1.6 steald, 12.6 PER
 
LaMelo: 25.4 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.3 assists, 6.9 rebounds, 40.6% FG, 33.3% 3FG, 69.2% FT, 1.6 steals, 17.7 PER

The guy is exciting to watch as well. You can really tell this kid just simply loves to play the game

Anthony Edwards and James Wiseman each put up 25 last night in their first games against each other. Wiseman seems like the real deal and it's fun watching the relationships and interactions between he and Draymond Green. I don't think I've ever seen a teammate care about a rookie so much.

They should honestly trade Graham before he trashes his trade value completely. He’d honestly work great for a contender who wants more shooting. He could swing a close series if he got hot with how he just chucks.

Pacers seem to have figured out how to work with both Domas and Turner finally. Domas is so diverse offensively and Turner is DPOY levels of good so far this year. Helps that dinosaur McMillian is gone. Be nice if they could get healthy consistently though

They still need a #1. They honestly should have traded Warren over the summer. Super cheap contract and probably could have gotten some pieces from him because he's definitely not staying after this season. They are still a first round exit probably. Not near a contender. Don't see anyway they compete with Milwaukee, Boston, Philly, Brooklyn once it gets to playoff time.

And the Pacers embarrass themselves again. Can't even beat Philly without the MVP.

Bill Bayno resigns as Pacers' assistant coach citing mental health issues.

Mark Cuban's virtue signaling, woke stupidity gets sent back at his face. Mavs will still play the national anthem.

Utterly embarrassed for him. Our Country has crumbled right before our eyes. We are TAUGHT to not have National pride. Well, screw that. I’m proud to be an American, and everything it Once stood for.

Hard to leave Bradley Beal off the East starting squad--Beal i leading the league in scoring at 32.8 points per game.

I had to give 1 Pacer something.

The Pacers are struggling a bit but so are the Wizards, more so.

Wizards are pretty terrible. Doesn't help that their 3rd best player is out for the year. 

[KingPG21 6,512]

It’s kind of nuts how bad Vic has been since the trade. 18/4/4 on 38/29/75 while averaging 2.5 turnovers per game is atrocious.

Pacers are in the same boat as IU. Crappy coaching hires and the new one is worse than the last.

Seen that. I wouldn't blame Curry. I'd blame every parent and coach who told their kids they are Steph Curry growing up.
