  2. Please not Anthony Davis…… please… the city of Indianapolis has already lost 3 of our most important stars to injuries in the last 6 months (Hali, Clark, Indiana Jones)…. no more injuries….

  3. As they should, gotta due their due diligence. That said, it’s still probably going to be the “weakest” position on the starting 5 next year

  6. I wonder what we’re willing to trade. Is this years first on the table? Gotta think you try to keep the lottery pick unless you get a top 5 center

  7. I guess the idea of drafting Turner’s replacement is off the table – we probably want someone who can contribute immediately to maximize Haliburton’s prime and the rest of Siakam’s.

    I’ll be really surprised if they offer the ’26 first though – that looks to be too valuable of an asset right now, but it would be the Pacer way to try to claw into the play-in even though we have the second-to-last record in the East.

    Mathurin’s probably gone though.

  9. The true chaos timeline – we trade for Myles Turner.

    The Pacers traded Mark Jackson in the late 90’s only to trade back for him again a year later lol.

  11. Wonder if Yves Missi is a piece NO is willing to part with now that Queen is emerging

  12. Why? Just play the season out and figure it out once Haliburton is back. This win now mentality is going to destroy the Pacer’s young core with trades.

  17. I mean…that was always the plan. I would be shocked if it didn’t wait until this offseason (mostly for salary reasons), but still…duh

  22. Wouldn’t mjnd letting Huff start the rest of the season to see if he’s capable of being the long-term starter.

  23. It’s going to be tough for them to go after a center with a large contract like AD. That’s not happening unless Siakam is involved. So no.

    Take a step down to a guy like Claxton who is making $25M/year. That’s still too expensive unless you include someone Nembhard. Or a S&T with Mathurin or Walker. Or multiple role players. Unlikely.

    So it might be a guy on a rookie contract or something cheaper where the Pacers don’t have to get creative to make a simple deal.

  24. Moussa Diabate would be a great addition–can play very up tempo, hustles constantly, rebounds well, and plays solid defense. He won’t give you the outside shooting threat, so you want him on the floor with shooters.

  25. They should call about that Myles guy who can’t get off the bench in critical moments for the Bucks, I’d have to guess he’s available.

  26. I mean duh?

    This is almost as bad as that one dude who states the obvious but has zero contacts. Can’t think of his name. Zach something.

  29. Please for the love of god get someone established like Bam or someone with a bright future like Edey, no middle of the road stuff if we really are getting rid of Jackson or Huff

  31. If they weren’t complaining with myles no reason to do it now. We went without rebounding for 10 years.

  36. That’s fake for sure. This season is going just fine. Huff is gonna take several more months to get a good feel on him. He is making strides. Great guy on a great contract
