  1. Two first round picks is steep. Especially this year’s pick, if it goes to the Clippers. If the Pacers finish in the bottom 3 it looks like it’s a coin flip 50/50 if they get a top 4 or picks 5-9.

  2. Watching you from Brazil Kent! Olá! People freaking out about Mathurin remind me of people freaking out about Sabonis. We ended up ok with that trade and Sabonis was better than Mathurin.

  3. Let's face it, without a center like Zubac we don't get through the East. We don't have time to draft and develop, our window with the way this team is set up is next year and the following year then it's a rebuild.

  4. The issue is people see NBA draft picks like NFL draft picks. The chance of getting an impact player outside of the top 4 is small and you’re going to go into the tax with anyone in the top 10. If crap hits the fan and you end up outside the top 10, your odds of hitting on a player equivalent of impact between picks 5-9 is nearly identical. This was a shrewd move from a talent/winning perspective and financial.

  5. I agree with Kent, Zubacs skills are exactly what this team needed he just doesnt have the big name recognition average fans crave. Hali will make him even better plus he can guard a Jokic or give the skinny assed Thunder big problems. We can find players to come off the bench and help who do not cost 20+ million, Bennys D was highly questionable like Turner anyway.

  6. AI told me the pacers pick is protected 1 through 4 and 10 through 30 and The clippers would only get the pick if it was 5 through 9. Not sure if this is correct, but that's what AI said…..

  7. I’ll put it like this love Myles but man was he soft for a big. We made the finals with him we can definitely make it back with zubac his presence and rebounding will do wonders making us even better. We still have flexibility of small ball with OBI and pascal when we need it

  8. The pick is definitely sketchy but like I heard on JMV they value 1-4 and 5-10 are more guards. Mathurin was never gonna get resigned and figured Zubac for whoever at 5-10 is worth it
