    Not sure about the dollar amount, but congrats to Pascal. The Pacers overachieved this year, and it's gonna be good to see what they do going forward.

    I mean he isn't that much worse than Jaylen Brown, but it seems weird for a guy who isn't an All-Star to get paid 50M/year after age 30

    He can play respectable defense against KD Tatum or Giannis.. inevitably getting the max but i was hoping the Knicks would get him at a discount

    Pascal is a good player. Would I offer him a max? I guess is really dependent on the franchise if I’m Indianapolis I guess I do it to aid in the development of Haliburton, but do I expect them to be more than a second round exit or maybe a conference finalist if the cookie crumbles properly is probably the ceiling.

    He's a step below the NBA superstars. He's a very good player. I'm from Toronto and he had attitude problems. I guess I'm just disgusted that a slightly above average player will have made over 330 million when this contract expires. Glad Raptors traded him.
