Grant Nelson 🥸 Undrafted Free Agent pass first 7 footer plays more like a guard than any big on team and he’s not afraid to block or dunk on anyone in the league
I would like to keep Potter, he was pretty consistent with that quick shot of his and he plays hard. Now if we could find someone like Slawson who is also a sharp shooter that would be ideal but likely expensive and since we have like a hundred bucks to spend that's not going to happen but I absolutely loved his defense and body type.
I think we might have toughened up the Cavs last year beating them all over the place. They showed up to play game 7 while Pistons looked more like a 40 win team than a 60 win team.
I know he's had some troubles, but do you think Jaden Ivey could be a cheap pick up for the pacers, or is he probably blackballed from the league now?
Keep Potter – sign Ivey – stay away from Middleton.
Anybody else see Trey Murphy with Hali at the fever game last night🤔🤫
There is no chance Middleton can run the court with Indiana's tempo dude. It would be like patching a hole in a speed boat with lead tape.
Thoughts on Trey Murphy at the fever game? Is he a realistic trade target without giving up someone like obi?
Malik Beasley is unsigned. Did the NBA complete its investigation? It sounded like the gambling allegations were a nothing burger, but then no one signed him. He's a bucket. His defense is weak, but it looked better in Detroit.
These next 5 months will be awkward waiting for the return of pacers basketball
So, CJ McCollum’s 3 pt percentage was 44% of his shots, so he just missed your first grouping
Saddiq Bey is the perfect trade target for the Pacers 27 yrs old 6.7 mil per yr 17.7 last yr 36.7 from 3 point line 6'8 strong good defender, and really is like Ben Mathurin only 3 inches taller, and plays defense. Washington should be willing to part ways with him since he will be a UFA after next year, and they will be trying to develop their draft pick at Wing/Forward.
Im alwaya gonna keep saying marvin bagley.
The pacers pray before games and are believers . Jaden Ivey would be an ok fit . But his injuries hamper him . I agree with his view on homosexuality shouldn't be celebrated .
The NBA will continue to make sure the Pacers never win a Chip !?
Chris Middleton checks the vet and 3pt shooting needs. Pacers have a great history of signing such guys, esp when contending.
