The Pacers are really starting to suck...or are they tanking?

Oof. Well I was wrong. Probqbly worth looking to trade guys. 

 

Myles - I still want to keep him. If nothing else he is a top 5 impact defensove guy. His offense is mpre confident and improved under Carlisle as is his defense.
Domas - I just don't get the appeal, He is a big that can't shoot, and is a bad defender at everything. He can't defend on the perimeter. he can't defend the rim, and he can't defend other bigs. He is just Vuc but a better passer. 

LeVert - Get him out. Super inefficient. Bad defender. Doesn't fit Carlisle's system. Injury prone. 

Brogdon - I'd want to keep him. Gotta find a way to get him less on ball responsibilities. He is oui best perimeter creator and thats an issue. 

TJM - Yah keep him. Good leader. Good energy guy. 

Goga - Maybe we could get a 2nd? I don't get how he fits on this team. And he is out of the rotation when IJ, Domas, and Myles are healthy.

IJ and Duarte - Get these guys as much run as they need. Both have been impressive so far. Want to see how good they can be.

TJW - Like I guess he is here until the offseason? Dude hasn't played in so long, Why would anyone take a chance on him

Everypme else - All expendable. Can't really think of any that I'd but upset if we traded them

 

PLEASE STOP ACQUIRING INJURY PRONE PLAYERS

I'm working on an article right now about it. So many things to fix. Problem is, it would take some "2K'ing" to fix it.

I mean the roster is like a 2K roster. Just throw a bunch of talent together, with no regards for how they play together.

Kinda true. I think there are a couple of really big moves that could actually be pulled off if they really wanted to.

The Pacers have finally decided that a rebuild is needed and open to trading Turner or Sabonis and LeVert.

Yea I put out some trade packages in an article the other day. Need to trade leVert and Sabonis and Warren. Gotta keep Turner. Need to look at a point guard to keep Brogdon off ball.

Warren wants to stay and has no value right now so he might be pretty cheap to keep. The others I think could get decent value back for.

Doesnt matter what value Warren has. Get him off the payroll.

The problem with so many NBA players...

 

Dame Lillard: I want to win in Portland

Also Dame: give me all the money. I don't care if we can't afford anyone to be on the team.

Myles blasted the organization through Shams and practice was shutdown due to health protocols all before noon. Great week for the Pacers lol.

Organization is a joke. Goes back to when PG was there and then when Vic was there. Roster should have been blown up as soon as Vic went down the first time. Instead they let everyone walk and the franchise is where it is now.

The Rockets are on a league best 7 game winning streak. 

The Rockets are now 8-16. Yes... They were 1-16 at one point.

So what is worse. Being able to get top talentand being so horrible at putting a roster aroundthem , Pelicans (AD and Zion). Or being so badat evaluating talent you never get top talent, no matter how high you draft, like the Kings

I'd hate to be the Kings. Those poor fans. Maybe we can trade for Fox and Bagley lol. Ship out LeVert, Sabonis and Brogdon.

Bagley is horrible. Makes Sabonis look halfway decent defensively, while offering no where near the offensive production

Yea but that's in Sacramento. Change of scenery could be good for him. Look what a change from Portland to Indiana did for Jermaine O'Neal. Not that it would be the same for Bagley, but it'd be worth it for the Pacers. Get rid of Sabonis. Article I put out I had this .. 

Pacers receive: Marvin Bagley, Damion Jones, Kings 2022 1st rounder

Kings receive: Sabonis, Goga and couple 2md rounders.

JO's thing wasan opportunity thing. Bagley has had plenty of opportunities. He just sucks at basketball. Also he appears to be dumb and think he is way better than he actually is

I think he is good. But he's in Sacramento. He definitely has a motor issue though. He definitely needs another adult to tell him his best roll is as a rebounder. 

[chadrawskins]

their prices are decent on sportsbetting3.com, but sabonis is the only 1 with more than a year left. going to be risky for anyone to take a gamble on Turner and Levert if they can walk at end of next season.
