It should we should trade him before he leaves us high and dry I'm a pavers fan way before I'm a PG fan but I honestly don't blame Paul if he wants to leave not one bit 

We don't know he's going anywhere

[Luck is Good]

We have a pretty good idea PG would leave. This team is going nowhere and he doesn't deserve that. Even the teams with Reggie had a chance most years. This PG Era is going nowhere fast. And a lot of it is on management

Yeah he wants to waste his prime getting swept and blowing 26 point leads on the pacers

He's under contract for another year.

I'm sure he'll be on the team next season...If things go very badly, maybe we make a deal.

 

But Larry isn't going to deal him this summer....as opposed to try and signing players to help him.

Just not the way he has operated

There's the little matter of the 'max contract he can only get in Indy.

..and we have a good core

I think trading Paul George would be extremely dumb. He is a Top 15 player in the league. Paul George's don't grow on trees. He is also under contract all next season and is only 26 years old. Bird should add another Good piece this summer to pair up with PG and Turner and go that route and fire McMillan. If we trade PG we wont win 25 games next season. That would be like the Spurs trading Kawhi Leonard.

You very much underestimate this subject. The only reason PG wasn't traded in February is because Bird asked for way too much from the Celtics. They weren't gonna break up their team for PG because they were gonna be one of the top seeds in the East. Not to mention the fact that Magic Johnson and the Lakers could always come calling

WE need shooters..Guys like JJ Reddick....

We need a true center and a couple of shooters. We can get that. We aren't The 76ers and Sacramento.

We're not that far away..

 

With Teague and Lance and Myles, youth like Glenn and now Serafin shows potential.

I like the core of the team.

LIG,

 

If we trade Paul George to Boston, he will haunt us for the next half dozen years, agreed?

Defense needs to pick it up

I think we are 1 or 2 players away from being really good. We need the right 1 or 2 players though. PG is a Superstar, not many teams have a Superstar. You need at least 1 to have any chance at all of competing in the league. We got the worse draw in the Playoffs unfortunately with playing the Cavs. Had we drew Boston it would be a different story.

Indeed. But who hasn't haunted the Pacers over all these years?

[oldunclemark]

wish I knew why Myles Turner is so hesitant to shoot and dunk

[Luck is Good]

I want PG to stay. I want to be very clear on that. The only way to do that is to get upgraded talent. Go get Gordon Hayward and Brook Lopez

[oldunclemark]

A lot of teams haven't haunted us.....

I just never bought the trade to Boston talk,.....that came out of Boston.

I'm sure we listened...but trading Paul George to Boston puts us in the toilet for many years to come.

 

[RockThatBlue]

Turner is having a good game

I think Brook Lopez is very much possible ....and JJ Reddick.

.I want Paul George here next year....and for us to take another shot with this core.

And I just dont think Paul turns down $70 million to play for the Lakers, who have been 40 games under .500 for four years

[oldunclemark]

we cant get a foul call on Kyrie

[oldunclemark]

we cant help on LBJ because it leaves the shooters open

He's having some moments but he's still getting pushed around 

[oldunclemark]

7 of 13 on free throws..nowhere near good enough

 

we were No,2 in the NBA in free throws on the season

[RockThatBlue]

Ridiculous block by LeBron

I wouldn't mind getting JJ Reddick either. Get him, Gordon and Lopez. Get rid of Monta and CJ and get Myles in the weight room. Re-sign Teague and have your lineup consist of Teague, Hayward, PG, Myles and Lopez. Off the bench would be some unknown PG, Robinson, Reddick, Thad and Seraphin. That's not too bad and should compete in the East

[RockThatBlue]

How do you let LeBron run wide open after a made FT? Goodness.

[oldunclemark]

   We're not fighting them..not hard enough

I agree. If we trade Paul George will be a toilet team. Only way I trade him is if I get Top 3 Draft pick and 2 players that are on the Very Good level at worse. PG is on the Great level being a Top 15 player. I would love to see Hayward come here.

[Indyfan4life]

It'd be cool if Indiana teams could stop getting embarrassed on national TV every year.

[oldunclemark]

A lot to ask for Teague to stop Kyrie and score 20 at the other end

[RockThatBlue]

I know we aren't getting enough from our big men but we horribly bad need a shooting guard. It's hard to keep up with teams like the Cavs if your SGs stink.

Top-3 draft...a teenager.

Question: is ANYBODY from last year's draft playing well right now.

We got the worse draw in the whole Playoffs. Any other team in the East we take 6 or 7 games. This series doesn't determine nothing for me regarding the future because I knew we weren't beating the Cavs anyway. We need better Coaching and another Very Good player to pair up with PG. Turner is Good but inconsistent, same with Teague and Lance. We need a Lopez or Hayward in here.

Jeff Teague....CJ Miles...Monta Ellis......Thad Young.......we didn't draft any of them.

Larry signed them.

 

We are trying.we should keep trying..Trading PG makes us Sacramento for a decade

Why do you think money is all that matters if i was a superstar I'd be much more worried about winning championships then money when I'm already loaded with cash

[oldunclemark]

down 81-71....now or never

I also said 2 Very Good players to go with the Draft pick and I still might not even do that.
