Harper signed a 2-way with Toronto. I’ll be surprised if he’s not a permanent part of their roster sometime this season. lillurk 1 Quote

Every team can have two two-way players. I’d be a little surprised for him to be a ‘permanent’ part of their roster. He was bottom tier in pretty much every drill at the combine. IMO he’s the typical good college player who isn’t athletic enough to stick around in the NBA. Loaded Chicken Sandwich 1 Quote

And that's an incredibly tough one. lillurk 1 Quote
Demo Posted June 26, 2022 Posted June 26, 2022 Mathurin measure 6’6” in shoes at the combine and Brown measured 6’7 1/2”. Obviously you don’t see shoes here, but I believe Brown measured 6’8 1/4” last year at Pangos. So, it looks like the combine measurement might be a touch off. lillurk 1 Quote

I think Brown can contribute in probably his 3rd or 4th year. Really hoping that Pritchard is understanding and realizes that it'll take patience through the draft and great player development. Hopefully fans understand it'll take time too. Will likely be in the lottery next year too and probably the year after that but that's okay. Gain a bunch of talent and you're ready to go. Tyrese Haliburton- 22 Isaiah Jackson- 20 Bennedict Mathurin- 20 Andrew Nembhard- 22 Kendall Brown- 19 If we keep him... Jalen Smith- 22 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted June 26, 2022 Posted June 26, 2022 Pacers have picked up for Summer League Fanbo Zeng from the G-League Ignite. Averaged about 4 ppg in 9 games. Eli Brooks from Michigan. Jermaine Samuels from Villanova. Tevin Brown from Murray State who shot 38.4% from 3 this past season and 38.6% over 4 years there. Great shooter and a lefty. Quote

KingPG21 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Windhorst on ESPN pushing the idea the Lakers could get both KD and Irving. Wtf even are this guys credentials? Does he just shout at people he knows LeBron when they want to know why they should let him in on anything Quote

Really interested to see how they handle IJ too. Quote

They have very athletic guys in this group, which Chad B. mentioned they lacked on the court during the season last year. I think you'll see duarte and jackson dominate, I think Bennedict will dominate but struggle slightly with turnovers. Loaded Chicken Sandwich 1 Quote
Demo Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Pelicans signing Zion to a rookie max deal. Obviously a no-brainer, but, man, that’s a hit and hope deal. They’re gonna be paying for a lot of down time. Quote

KingPG21 Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Brogdon gone. Main pieces coming back are Theis, Nesmith, and a first with zero protection. Gotta imagine we are committed to not being good next year. And the idea is get as much run for Hali, Mathurin, Duarte, and IJ. See who does and doesn't fit next to them. As long as the Cavs make the playoffs we now have 3 first round picks next year. Draft is suppose to be loaded. Can't frowm upon that WayneFleekHoosier, Loaded Chicken Sandwich, thebigweave and 1 other 4 Quote

Given where this team is, if they make good calls with the cap space, it works for me. thebigweave, MemphisHoosier and Loaded Chicken Sandwich 3 Quote

You need to be good in the draft and good at wheeling and dealing for actual players. Quote
Hovadipo Posted July 2, 2022 Author Posted July 2, 2022 Jalen Smith back to Indy on a 2-year deal. Awesome win considering the Pacers not being allowed to pay him big money. Loaded Chicken Sandwich 1 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Can KAT-Gobert work together? Don't know! But I love the thought of teams going big again. Quote
