Ooo that could be it. I never put 2 and 2 together.

Worth mentioning that Twitter went kind of nuts with the quote. Could also be his reaction to that. Honestly anticipating him being back in 7 months after that injury is crazy

[KingPG21 6,555]

Another quote worth taking into consideration, Bird said he hoped to acquire one more pick.

Also said he isn't opposed to giving this core one more healthy go. Which seems kind of crazy to me. We failed three straight years in pretty much the same exact fashion. Windows don't stay open that long in the NBA without a talent like LBJ or Durant. And our star is going to be coming back from an awful injury

[KingPG21 6,555]

So on a Pacers fan site someone posted a mock draft that had player comparisons. Funniest was comparing Myles Turner to LMA, because going to the same college seemed to be the whole basis for the comparison. Even though they are nothing a like offensively

[KingPG21 6,555]

Latest trade rumors have us trading West to the Raptors. Unless we can get their first,Grant from ND, or Bruno I hope we don't make it happen

Stupid and I hate it. But hey glad PG is back for the big picture.

@SpearsNBAYahoo: Pacers guard Paul George tells Yahoo that he is eyeing a mid-March return from his leg injury that could include a 3/14 return vs Boston.

Very stupid. Could cause them to win some more games and not get as good of a pick, plus seems like he may be rushing a little bit.

I guess this also means he will be back when I go in April to see the Hornets. WOOHOO!

Great idea.

[KingPG21 6,555]

Well great if he is good enough to go with keeping the risk of reinjury low. I hope this isn't a deal where he thinks the supporting cast is good enough and he/they are rushing him back

I still think the east is wide open. Don't think they would get 4-0d if they made it in but could see an upset or 2. I say set the date like he has play the games until then and reassess before where the team is.

[KingPG21 6,555]

Rising stars game was last night. Vic looked real good. Also, Wiggins is going to be a stud. And Gobert has improved a ton, when he first came into the league his only talent really was his length

I'm just hoping they don't push him and force him into some stupid setback

Vic came out singing "New York, New York" and proceeded to throw down one of the nastier dunks I've ever seen. I love that man.

MR 360

[KingPG21 6,555]

So Mo Harkless is available for real cheap. Dude has the same build as PG, but he has been coached by Vaughn and his staff until recently. He is the type of low risk guy you take fliers on

[Hovadipo 53,324]

The craziest trade deadline ever may have just happened. I don't think the Pacers made any moves, but some big time names just got flipped.

Pacers didn't have shit to offer anyone

[Hovadipo 53,324]

Pacers didn't have **** to offer anyone

Nope. Just that 1st rounder, and I would've wanted someone big time if we gave that up. They act like it's their grand plan to keep the band together, but they actually have to because our personnel is garbage for any other team.
