To think the colts could have signed Dez Bryant
Not to late.
I think he is the perfect complement to TY.
Definitely worth a one year prove it deal.

How would you know this? Serious question not being sarcastic.
Pretty common knowledge last year.
There are multiple articles about it, just posted this link because it was 1st in my search.

I agree with both of you, I just thought it was interesting.

Looks like we almost signed JJ Reddick. Philly upped offer at last minute.
JJ Redick: “I almost signed with Indy. I was an hour away, two hours away, I was very close. I had a 5:00 PM deadline… it was 12:30, 1:00 in the afternoon when Philly changed the offer… I had a whole conversation with Nate McMillan.”

Scott Agness: Pacers believe Kyle O’Quinn can fill the leadership void left behind by Al Jefferson.Coach Nate McMillan tells me: “We felt he could play that role that we got from Al. He’s still a guy that can play and he’s going to be our fifth big.”

Kevin Pritchard is doing an interview during SL game.
Figured I would post some highlights:
1. Evaluated team last year as funnest team hes been around. Had fun, worked hard and made sacrifices and competed.
2. Oladipo - Expectations, didn't expect him to come out like that last year. Expected him to improve and expand his role. Had high expectations for him and Sabonis.
3. Trade options (PG) - wasn't as "thick" as he wanted to be. Not as many options, but loved both players and had them ranked higher than most.
4. Arvydas Sabonis talk.
5. Went into off-season this year to add best shooter we could(McDermott) and best play maker we could(Evans).
6. Wanted to get better, Herb Simon said he didn't want to tank and bottom out. Wanted to compete and get better.
7. $50m+ next summer.
8. Asked who we could get with all the cap space, said we should pretty good, you never know.
9. Nate talk- tough and hard nosed. Tone setter. Great leadership from players.
10. Vic first in the gym.
11. Alize Johnson talk - wherever ball is, he finds it. Said great determination to find ball. Used energy/reb off bench of Jordan Bell as comp.
12. Holiday was top 12 on his board, couldn't believe he was there. Calls him pesky.
Wow, that was quick fire.

Kevin Pritchard said we are "pretty much done with Free Agency". Said, "probably sign a couple more non guaranteed contracts and never know what kind of trade pops up, most likely this is the team we will see at camp."

I agree....He's ready to go...I think he's more ready for the NBA than the guy the Cavs got.
I just hope we can find minutes for him.
I hope he can accept the situation for a year with 4 vet guards (Collison, Joseph, Tryreke Evans and Vic) already on the roster.
5 guards...4 forwards (McDermott, Bogdonavich, Leaf and Thad Young) and 3 centers (O'Quinn, Sabonis and Myles Turner) Do you think this is the final core of the roster?
..anybody else to add?
I feel there is still a move or two to be made. If we are done, I like what I see though.
I also think Holiday is going to force playing time sooner than later. His skill set is probably the best of any of our PG's.

Anthony Holiday is obviously ready to contribute..
.....a little disappointed in TJ Leaf..He should dominate the summer league
Aaron is looking really solid. Looks like he might be a steal.
Seems to have a lot a Jrue in him, but possibly a better shooter?

Can someone explain the O'Quinn signing to me.//
Seems like a nice player but I dont understand why we acquired a 3rd center
(4th if you count Ike)
1. O'Quinn can play PF as well. Probably best to keep at Center, but he is versatile.
2. O'Quinn is a solid player. Going in to today, what would you of said our biggest need was on our roster? PF? That would of been my answer.
3. There very well could be an additional move coming.
4. Ike might not be back?
5. I just think the team is trying to fill out the roster with as many solid players as it can. We are extremely deep right now, expectations are high.
Turner, Sabonis, O'Quinn, Young and Leaf is a very solid big man group. Throw in a little Alize and have a great night.
Bogs, McBuckets, Evans, Oladipo... Wings are set.
Collison, DoJo and Holiday
Wow, just ready to see what this team can do. See if they have anything else coming up.
Might be able to work S+T deals for Lance and GR3, if those teams come up with another player to use exeptions on.
Not sure what that might look like but its a possibility. I will take a look a few options.
I really don't feel like Ike or Sumner are going to have those final 2 spots when all is said and done?

Taking Smart from them would be huge, that would make them weaker and us stronger.
I would throw in Leaf if need be to.
Like I said, doubt it happens:
1. Dont think Boston wants to make us better.
2. I guess it was just that 1 reason.
He definitely is disgruntled right now though.

Holding out hope that we can bust a S+T with Boston. He seems a little disgruntled right now. Probably slim odds.
CoJo($7.9m)
2019 1st
For
Marcus Smart
Clear cap space as I posted before, we could offer $12-$13m in a S+T.

So after taking another look.
We can sign O'Quinn after we finish other moves.
To make room for O'Quinn, they released Poythress($1.54m)
Cap space: $1.65m
If we cut Ike($.7m savings)
Stretch Jefferson($2.7m)
We could still have around $5m left if we chose to go this route.

Alize Johnson is balling this quarter. The offense is basically running through him right now.
Trevon Duval has been killing us. He just got hurt so hopefully he's ok.
Was surprised Trevon wasn't drafted.
Hopefully Alize can run some at the 3. Time will tell. I think he can.

Alize Johnson is having a good showing as well.
I think Alize has some nice potential.
Holiday looking good.
Those last 3 spots are up for grabs.
I've always liked Travis Leslie's game as well. Maybe he can steal that last spot?
Anigbogu
Alize Johnson
Sumner
Leslie
Potential vet minimum signing out there as well?

PG to me is the perfect Robin, a Great 2nd best player on any team. A Top 15-20 player in the league. He reminds me of a Scottie Pippen type, Great Defensively and a Good Scorer but not a guy that can lead a team to a Championship being the best player. He can thrive playing with RW, he would've thrived playing with someone like Kobe too because PG isn't ball dominant. He would've won Championships playing with Kobe or Jordan as a Robin.
This is my thoughts exactly.
He also showed me, that he knows that to be the case(he isn't a number 1 guy). That's at least respectable.
He is fine with letting Russ do his thing, so he doesn't have to take as much blame when things don't go right.
This is the same guy that passed the ball to CJ Miles(who missed shot) with 5 seconds then asked why he didn't pass it back to him. Like he wanted the shot, if you want the shot you don't pass the ball with 5 seconds to go. Knowing if Miles would of made shot he would of been like "I was unselfish and made the right play"
That's not what happened, and he called out his teammate for doing what he is suppose to(trying to score because his so called "1 guy" just passed it to him instead of took the shot. He was afraid to miss it.
Anyway, sorry for the little rant. As you can tell I'm not a fan. I'm happy with the trade for sure.
I do think Paul is a good number 2 guy. I would take Scottie though.

Pretty deep as you didn't even list Holiday.
Or Leaf.
Great signing. Really wasn't looking at him as an option, but it's a good one.
12 deep. With Anigbogu, Sumner and Alize Johnson to hopefully grow.

Tyreke Evans just signed a one year deal with the Pacers for 12 million. Per Bleacher Report.
Woj as well.
Tyreke Evans to Indiana
Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent guard Tyreke Evans is nearing a one-year deal with the Indiana Pacers, league sources tell ESPN.

Yeah, bit I dont think MLE is enough for Smart. I agree would love him but just dont see it happening unless we were to work out a trade with them.
-
Must say, NBA player reaction to Boogie is quite funny.
Lets get this Tyreke news to be official and move on to this MLE.
$8.6m should get us another solid guy.
Assuming we get Evans, what are you guys looking for? PF depth or another 3pt specialist(Ellington)?

Cut him, it only cost us $1.3m to try and bring in a guy to compete for the job.
He couldn't, no harm done. Move on to the next option.
Won't ever complain about bringing in a guy like Ballard did to try and compete.
