    Thank you for your services Obi 🫡

    So we didn’t give him the quoted 200 million? Or was that for 5 years?

    Either way, Spicy P let’s get it my bro

    The spice will continue to flow in Indy

  4. This being a 4 year deal makes this trade even better. Just amazing value.

  5. SourBerry1425

    Awesome win-win. P gets more money than he could’ve on the open market but we don’t have to commit to an extra year when he’s 35 so potentially will only have to be a 2nd apron team for a year or 2 at max if we re-up on Nemby and Mathurin, which recent things suggest that ownership is okay with.

    fuck he didn’t even get that 5 year deal this is badass

  7. Psyren1317

    Getting him on a 4 year is phenomenal value. Well done by KP and Chad.

    Glad to keep you at home, Spicy!

    So teams can start negotiating contracts immediately after the Finals now but we still have to wait til the moratorium ends for him to sign?

    Either way, just thrilled to see Pascal is gonna be locked down. The Pacers are making the Finals at least once in the next 5 years with this core.

    Now that he’s locked in. It’s time to go with the time honored tradition of giving him a mildly uncomfortable nickname to commemorate his time with the Pacers…first it was Saboner, then it was T-Hog, now it’s Spicy Penis.

    Can’t wait to see how many people don’t understand the general concept of a max contract

  11. disco008a

    Ok, we’ve got Pascal signed, now when are we signing Siakam? 😂

  12. BlueCollarGoldSwaggr

    Other teams could’ve offered 4 years and 5% raises. The Pacers could offer 5 years and 8% raises. This deal is great for both sides. 8% raises so it’s the most money he could make per year. Only 4 years so the Pacers don’t have to pay him 56M when he’s 34.

    Over 47 million a year for Pascal Siakam. There has never been a better time to be an NBA player.

  14. MySabonerRunsOladipo

    That’s outstanding. Was expecting 5/245, which, even though I love Pascal, I was leery of. This fits a bit better I’d think.

    Now if we can some how get OG to come to Indy, it’s over for the league

    I’m off suicide watch for the time being, come on baby

  17. JuiceBrinner

    Was skeptical at first, but siakam was great for like 85% of the playoffs and very glad to have him back.

  18. Super happy for Pascal. Pascal also copped criticism because he had a supporting team that was a bad fit for him. Now he’s got the perfect system and an off season to prepare with.

    Get ready for those first 20 or so games. Often some of Pascal’s best once he shakes the off season off.

  19. CompetitionNo9969

    I like Siakim, but man that’s a lot of money and he will be pretty old soon. Hopefully, Pacers can find the money to keep their young guys. I expect Obi is gone.
