MTC Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 May as well kick off a new thread since we are officially in the offseason. And we have a new coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w87r Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Cant say I'm to thrilled with the new coach, hopefully he proves me wrong. He has been the favorite for a while though. Seen his name floating around for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know much about him, so I cannot say whether or not I'm "excited" or "disappointed" in the hire. Looks like he has some connection to TJ Warren when he was with the Phoenix Suns.

MTC Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Watched his press conference - seems like a confident, personable guy. He thinks he'll be able to play Turner and Sabonis in the same rotation. We'll see how that turns out, but I'm not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sears Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 17 hours ago, MTC said: Welp. I see something different almost daily on him. One day he wants out and the next he wants to stay. Rumors that several teams have interest in him, but I think most want to wait and see how he's playing. Maybe a trade deadline deal would bring the Pacers something more in return. And, the annual rumors about Turner being dealt, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Bummer the Pacers didn't have a first round pick this year. I think many very good players fell further than expected. Knicks got a steal with Toppin at #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycolt1 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Too bad the Pacers are a team who trains good players that move on to other teams that are competitive for championships. Till Simon comes off the money to pay more than one top notch player it will not change. Sad the NBA is paid off under the disguise of a salary cap.

MTC Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Cassius Stanley reminds me of Gerald Green. He'll probably start out in the G-League, but could be someone to watch down the line competing for minutes because of his athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Alize, he should of got more PT last year in the bubble. Jakarr Sampson Dont get me wrong, I like Jakarr as a 14th/15th man but he shouldn't of been playing so much if at all. McMillan is gone for a reason. Horrible coaching decisions and even worse rotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is what do we have to give up for him? Sign and trade is about the only way. I don't want to trade Turner for him. If they would take some combination of Goga, Lamb, Mcbuckets, or Sumner/Leaf and/ or pick I would be game. Even Oladipo. Brogdon, Hayward, Warren, Sabonis, Turner is nice. Little unorthodox but really gives a lot of lineup flexibility. Hayward and Warren can both play stretch 4 as well when Turner and Sabonis are not on floor together. Brogdon can slide over to the 2 and have Holiday run the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be S+T. Just read an article that says we have offered Turner and McBuckets.
