The Pacers are trading a future second round pick for Doug McDermott

  5. a better shooter than buddy and i think he’s on a good contract as well? correct me if i’m wrong.

  12. Was Marcus Morris part of the matching salary?

    Would’ve rather had DFS but this isn’t terrible

  13. Makes me feel much much better about the Buddy trade. Had concerns about how we were gonna space the floor but this alleviates those for sure

  25. Probably a contrarian take, but swapping one expiring contract for another, getting rid of a guy Ty likes, and not carving out playing time for young guys is like a lose-lose-lose in my opinion.

  26. I don’t think they could have brought in a better replacement for what we sent out in buddy.

  29. Best part of this trade is Morris going away.

    I thank him for his services to our team during his roughly 4 hour tenure here though.

  30. Dougie actually used to be able to run the break pretty well and get up. We just never took advantage of it. Haven’t followed him since he was traded but if he’s still got that ability he might look pretty good with us.

  32. I remember Doug being a great 3 pt shooter last time he played for us, but looking at his season stats, it looks like he’s not quite as good of a shooter as he once was. I still like this move if only to get rid of Morris. Lol.

  33. Search your memories, everyone – did Dougie ever actually stop the guy in front of him on defense?

    I know he used to run more miles per game than any other Pacer, but I have no recollection of his defense.

  35. Morris: So after all those hours it’s just “goodbye and good luck”!

    KP: I don’t recall saying “Good luck”.
