Pacers signed Bojan Bogdanovic to a 2 year 21 million dollar deal.
 
Guy can shoot, can't defend a bag blowing in the wind. Best pure shooter the Pacers have had in a long time. Like that we're signing guys to short term deals. 
 
Pritchard and Nate has been making the rounds with the press recently. One interesting thing that was brought up was as of right now, Vic and Turner are the only starters slated right now. Could just be they thought it was a dumb question in July. Might mean Thad is on the block to get traded. Really think he is gonna be traded before the start of the year

He won't necessarily have to defend. Vic, Lance, and Turner are solid defenders.

I hope Lonzo Ball becomes a star. He's shown some nice promise tonight.

Agreed on Thad.

Markelle Fultz was helped off the court with an ankle injury. Philly is cursed.

Dude I am telling you. I feel bad laughing about this when he was drafted. Hopefully it isn't something that lingers.

I don't unless he gets rid of his dad.

I don't mind Lavar. He's super obnoxious and annoying, but I think it's cool how he's trying to build his own brand instead of having his kid sign with Nike, Under Armour, etc. Lonzo seems laid back so with his dad doing the talking he just has to worry about playing basketball.

So do I lol. It probably won't be a serious injury but I still feel bad for Sixer fans. Things are finally looking up for them and then their latest top pick gets hurt too.

I am cool with someone trying to do something different. Problem is the voice relaying that message is the most hyperbolic individual with a microphone slapped in front of his face people want him to fail. Dude acts like he is Red Auerbach building a dynasty with his kids. He has done nothing but put a bullseye square on his son's back. Lonzo is going to get fouled hard next year due to his dad. There has never been a time in sports where a distraction like his father has been a good thing. Hopefully he plays well in spite of his father.

I can't stand a grown @$$ bum who has done nothing with his life trying to make money off his kids.

I think Lavar will probably tone it down now that Lonzo is in the NBA. It seems like everything he's been doing has been to get Lonzo to the Lakers, so hopefully now he lets his son's game do more of the talking.

Part of it might be Lavar trying to make money off them, but he was already wealthy before all of this so I think there's more to it. The traditional shoe deal would've been a safer route but if Lonzo becomes an all star then this approach will seem genius. He would've just been another guy with Nike, but now he has a chance to be the guy.

That dude talks to hear himself and get reaction. He'll say and do anything to get the media to talk about him. He makes outlandish statements and then blames others if they don't happen. I'm not sure the league has it in them to take a cheap shot at him but it could become a distraction. I could see his teammates getting upset if his father runs his mouth about terrible teammates.

Yeah I'm hoping he keeps his mouth shut about Lonzo's teammates. If he does I think guys will enjoy playing with him.

He's giving Shawn Marion a run for his money.

Pacers send Miles to the Raptors for Cory Joseph. I like Joseph but if this is just a one year rental I don't like the deal.

Meh, we've been gunning for short term deals this summer. Its all he is. I'm hoping we're just going to draft a point guard in the next two drafts....... Neither Collison or Joseph should be the long term answer there
