Poor Roy, he is being passed around like a hot potato now days! So the Pacers didn't make 1 deal I guess? I thought Larry would add someone to help PG out, that is kind of disappointing. Celtics didn't make any moves either to improve which they needed too. They cant beat the Cavs with the Roster they have.

I am a bit disappointed no moves were made as well.

Sources say PG is hell bent on going to the Lakers unless the Pacers are a title contender.

 

Making no moves this year ensures a first round exit this year so either Larry needs to move PG or make sure he gets him major help this summer.

 

And to think just a few days ago people thought there was NO WAY we'd trade Paul George. I'd say we were in serious discussions.

Yeah but we still didn't trade him. Had I bet on that I would've won because I did say we wouldn't.

Hmm nothing. No moves???? I just don't get Larry Bird. You make no moves to help your star. He'll most likely leave in free agency and you turn down all trade offers for him? Bird can really be complicated sometimes. 

Maybe Bird makes moves in the offseason to improve the team, PG is still under contract through next season. Patience.

I'm honestly ready to move on from him....

The latest news I saw was that we were interested in Aaron Afflalo at about 2:45. I thought we'd get him at the last second but apparently not.

Blue,,I don't know what happened to the Okafor deal..

..Phily sent Noel to Dallas in a package inclduing Bogut, who they'll release right?

 

Instead of getting our No.1 ?

I dont understand.

I was liking the idea of Okafor, Turner and Paul George

PG wasn't happy that Bird was shopping him

 

Paul George didn't like #Pacers shopped him when he thought he was their franchise guy ..he was left watching it develop. #WTHR

Who shopped PG?  Cant control teams calling about him...They know he can opt out in 2018

..and Bird has to listen to the offers

 

I've heard more than once today that Paul wont sign longterm with anybody other than The Pacers or the Lakers.

But who knows. He hasn't said anything publically.

George has said himself he won't commit to the team if they aren't contenders, which will understandably make the front office nervous.  It only makes sense for them to shop him (or at least ask around) if he isn't committed to the franchise.  He expects the Pacers to stick by him when he won't commit to them.  If you don't like being shopped around or named in trade rumours, maybe you should say you're 100% committed to the Pacers and not thinking about leaving.

I'm also a little unhappy that we didn't make any moves, but I have confidence in Larry Bird.  He has an aggressive approach and is very competitive.  He will do what needs to be done in time.  If Chris Paul opts out, the Pacers could make an aggressive run to bring him to Indy, and that would improve our team a lot.  Same with Blake Griffin or Kevin Durant (however unlikely that may be).

Larry Bird was on record saying he thinks Myles is a 5 and we already have Thad Young. I think we were mostly trying to trade PG and at the very end we tried to find a perimeter player like Afflalo but it was too late.

 

Philly probably took the best deal they could get and the only deal they could get a first rounder out of. Okafor isn't a sure fire bet to be a good player and he definitely wouldn't have made us contenders anyway.

Pacers got calls and they listened. That's not 'shopping'. far from it..

Larry Bird didnt trade Paul George.  As I tried to tell you he wouldn't.

 so im not mad that we kept PG, but i think they were asking for too much in a trade.  i would have taken that #1 pick, plus the celtics own pick, and like one more player

 

its going to be really tough to challenge the cavs now, and compete for a title like he said

 

the funny thing is the lakers are not close either, that could be our saving grace

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Has anyone who has been paying attention to Latu or to Gus Bradley learned if Latu will play the LEFT defensive end or the LEO, the RIGHT defensive end?      Has that been confirmed by anyone?!?      Asking for a few thousand friends here…..   Thanks in advance….

      Chad Kelly sighting

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      Chad Kelly’s only real impact for the Colts was the pre-season, something Sam has been better at since he’s been here.  Even then we saw how over whelmed Sam looked playing in a real game.  The logically conclusion is Kelly would have too.  Don’t fall for the pre-season trap.  The jump from back up to third string pre-season QB to NFL starter in a regular season game is the size of the Grand Canyon.  Let’s not forget Curtis Painter once looked good enough in the pre-season that some fans actually thought he could be developed into Peyton’s replacement and we all saw how that played out.     Rather anyone likes Kelly or not is irrelevant to the fact he’s had a tone of tape out there for NFL teams to see.  We know NFL teams will give just about anyone they think can be a franchise QB a chance to at least look at him.  The fact no NFL teams have come calling for even a tryout since the Colts released him tells you what teams think of him.     Fans can like him all they want that and $20 will get you a “value meal” at McDonalds.  He’s not some superstar who never got his chance, he’s a pre-season darling who isn’t good enough for regular season football.  Those are a dime a dozen in the NFL.  It’s not that people don’t like or aren’t a fan, in fact I’d argue he’d be a major underdog that most people would cheer for, it’s they have seen this before and recognize it for what it is.

      Yeah, we both have a chance now. I'd love our teams to face in the NBA finals. Would be a lot of fun. Hopefully we keep winning.

      I don't think we will have 3 QB's on the active roster. The 3rd QB will be on the PS and not impossible that both Sean and Slovis are both kept as you suggest . I just doubt either will be on the 53 man roster . Especially considering that it would be unlikely that the Colts would lose their choice for QB 3 to the waiver process.
