At a hefty contract no less. Someone gotta break down the Pacers logic here.

Nuggets deal. They get one player in Harris who's a RFA this summer, Indiana has to match his offer (which should be 15-20 mil as well) otherwise they'd be better off just letting PG walk and keep that cap space. A protected 1st rounder even if it conveys is it that much better than Sabonis who was a lottery pick? It's essentially the same deal. And could be worse if the protections don't even allow Indy to get the pick.

The Pacer organization clearly acted out of spite. The only kind of logic I see with that trade is Oladip played for Indiana when he was in college. So maybe trying to bring a fan favorite back hoping to keep up attendance while they tank.

Pacers pulled a reverse-Arsenal
Shipping your best player away from where they could come back to haunt you quick

Paul Millsap has a meeting lined up with the Minnesota Timberwolves today, league sources told Basketball Insiders.

since Lebron has been in the league players have been reluctant to play with him (aside from Wade and Bosh), ive always wondered why.

Celtics were offering protected 1sts aka the Pacers wouldn't have gotten them more than likely so hey they stuck with Crowder and Bradley who's about to make 20 mil. Again it's pretty much the same deal.

if Hayward goes to the Miami first, I don't see how he leaves without a deal unless Stevens gets down on his knees

I hope Boston at least comes out of this with Hayward...that would be some **** if they didn't even get him nor use a single one of their assets

Where he goofed was in not wanting to look like he gave PG exactly what he wanted. They could have had Clarkson and the two late round picks from the draft and likely a future unprotected first in 2020 if they were really about rebuilding at not such a premium cost, but actually trading PG13 to his preferred destination would have been bad optics. But it's still bad optics now.

I still think passing on Fultz for 1 protected 1st rounder is going to haunt them for years

If you wanna compete against the Cavs you need a serious inside presence. Hayward aint gonna go from Gobert to horford

Nah. Tatum going to be the goods and we'll get a top 5 pick next year because the Lakers are going to be awful in a stacked West.

Dudes are probably gonna be looking deep after filling out their roster
Hope they can keep their core together for the near future,adding pieces on top of KAT and Wiggins not even reaching their potential yet is setting things up quite nicely for them
