USA-Today has us drafting UCLA forward TJ Leaf..

 

....6-foot-10 but just 220 pounds..

16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds..elite spot shooter...46% on 3s..good passer...

 

not a good defender....and 6-10, 220 is not an NBA body

 

///but he's 20....

 

 

He's actually a good player, he is very athletic. I watched several Bruins games this season. I still would like to see us Draft the best Center available when we pick. To me Turner is a pure PF

IMO Paul George failed at giving an honest 100% effort every night on both ends of floor and being a leader . He has the me me me syndrome, nothing against you my friend I like you . that is and has b

Mark is on an island here. I wouldn't waste too much energy on changing his mind. This team is going to the promise land.. woot.

Finally got to make it out to a game this season tonight with the youngster. Had a good time as always.    Yo, if I see Turner shoot one more three I’m gonna rush the court and vomit on him.

Pacers need a banger in the post. They also need a shooter. I'd be fine with either in the draft

I agree, if we Draft Leaf and keep Turner at Center that would be interesting. Leaf can shoot and is athletic. I just would like to see us get a huge guy that can clog the paint.

I agree to a point. While it is important to get a big alongside Myles, if a great shooter falls to the Pacers, they have to take him. For example, Malik Monk

Celtics, I'm guessing, have decided they don't want Fultz...so they don't need the No.1 overall pick.

The Lakers will take Ball No,,2 (I'm not sure who else really wants him and his psycho Dad)

 

So, for Boston,. No, 3 is as good as No,1..and they pick up another No,.1 next season.

Very good deal for the Celtics..

 

This also means there will be no trade of Paul George before next season, which is a good deal for us

Yep, it is a good trade. I just like Fultz over Jackson. If they trade those picks for Butler, I'm not sure it's worth it. Lakers have been looking at Fultz and Jackson as well. I think there was a rumor that they're considering moving up to the #1 pick. It's good that we don't have to trade PG though.

I'd like to draft Giles, OG, or Mitchell.

I would take Donovan Mitchell. No doubt in my mind

I want Fultz but if we were to trade PG to LA then Boston trades with Philly I bet Philly takes Fultz so we still wouldn't get him 

Yeah, and I'd definitely want to avoid Lonzo.  Though Jackson and Fox are two prospects I really like.

Not sure how to Post Twitter Posts but I have been reading Paul George has no desire to leave Indiana, he loves it here and wants to be like Reggie. He plans to play out his contract, not Ring chase. I have been reading this all morning on different sites

A lot of conflicting reports on PG.

Click on the tweet's timestamp and it should open up the tweet and give you a new URL.  Copy and paste that URL into your post and it should automatically embed

I think Turner is better at Center. I'd like to draft Harry Giles (assuming injury checks out). He'd pair well next to Turner.

I would love to see Monk as a Pacer. In todays NBA you almost have to have a great SG to be an elite team. Monk would probably be the best we've had since Miller. If we could trade up for him, that would be great.

Agreed. I'd like him on our team too. It'd also show PG that we're serious about winning. If he drops to ~10, I'd seriously consider moving up to draft him. Package a few players, this year's pick, and 2019's pick to draft him.

I ALMOST said Giles.  I changed my mind since he is sooooooo fragile.  

Yep. His injuries are an issue. But if he's healthy, he's a really good player. Assuming he's healthy, we'd get a #1 pick at #18, which is really good value.

Giles is definitely a wild card in this draft. No doubt he is talented but hes had several nasty injuries. He would be good if he could be healthy but that's a pretty big bet.

I think Myles is better at C. Pacers need to get someone to pair next to him though. A banger is what I prefer. But need a SG too. Maybe that could be Gordon Hayward though. Draft will definitely tell the direction of the franchise's thinking

wouldnt landing hayward mean we have to let teague go?  hayward is better, but that would leave us with one of the worst back courts in the league

 

its a strong class for guards but we dont have a high pick

Because if they plan on keeping Isaiah and they already have Smart and Avery Bradley they really don't have room for Fultz to play. Now I've said before I'd move Thomas if I was them and bring in Fultz but if they are keeping Thomas for an immediate title run then there is no playing time for Fultz. Thus they trade 1st for 3rd and get future 1st (likely high 6ers pick) take Jackson to play the 3. That allows them to add a Blake Griffin in FA and they have a couple young guys like Brown and Jackson to play behind Crowder and Griffin....or it gets them more trade ammo for someone like Butler likely. It makes total sense...Danny is running circles around the Atlantic front offices.

Brown needs minutes to show just how good he really is.  Has great talent.

We still have to pay Teague.  He is a FA.  How much does he cost?

I would love Hayward.  I think he will be a Celtic.

Can sign both as FA's. Have to do everything to make a contender

Believe me, I'm not a cap expert either. It would work out though. Cavs were so much over this past season. I don't see how the Pacers couldn't be either

they paid the highest luxury tax in the league

 

pacers aren't willing to pay any

Our owner will not go into the luxury tax we either build a young team through the draft or we will always be middle of the pack cause other teams will pay to win

It's such a tough spot right now because we don't know about PG. In some ways, I do think going young is the best thing to do. Build a team through the draft, starting with next week. But at the same time, there's an opportunity to build a team to compete in the East for next season. If Simon ever wants to win a championship, he's gonna have to go into the luxury tax. Warriors are the exception to that rule. Most of that core was built through the draft. But it's not common for a team to compete on a yearly basis with that strategy

Simon just needs to sell the team
