1. Well it was fun while it lasted

2. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a contract get waived so quickly

3. what was the point of the multiyear contract

4. That was fast.

5. I’ll never forget the Mac era in Indy 💔❤️‍🩹

6. they waived Wiseman for this

7. Musta been his defense cuz 19 per 36mpg is not too bad

8. What was the point of that then

9. He’s not that bad.

10. Mac come to Europe bruh, we will appreciate you more

11. I get the wanting to live in America thing but this guy is a dunk contest merchant who could be playing meaningful basketball overseas

12. End of an era for sure, never gonna forget his time in Indy

13. sometimes the league is brutal

14. Bro can’t get minutes on an injury plagued team. His fanboys are in shambles

15. Darn, was rooting for him

16. So they just wanted to give him a gift of one year money?

17. I can’t imagine being a professional ball player with no job security and so much change of scenery. It almost makes it feel depressing to do what you love with no place to call home.

18. I don’t know how many times I have to say this. Mac is not an nba player.

    ‘But he can score well’

    Okay so can 500 players. He is 26 and not going to get better. He is an undersized microwave scorer who are easy to come by. He doesn’t do anything else well, can’t defend.

    Sure there are players worse with spots. They are 18 and have room to grow.

    Mac is what he is. And what he is isn’t a serviceable nba player

19. All is fair in love & war, but this is just mean lmaooo. Give the boy a month at least

20. 6.3 points in 11 minutes seems good.

    “Pacers guard Mac McClung feels ‘very lucky to be’ in Indiana” this is just from 4 hrs ago lol

22. Gives him some time to work on the dunk contest again.

23. They only waited 3 games? Did they really expect him to make a huge impact right away? The guy has been toiling in the G League. They should have given him more chances, its not like they are going anywhere this year.

24. bruh they have maybe 10 dudes healthy there’s no reason to cut him

25. God damn did they find a Draftkings app on his phone or something? That was quick.

26. Every time I get a Shams notification I pray that it’s “Nico Harrison has been fired.” Disappointment again smh

27. He’s basically bronny without LeBron as his father to protect him.

28. I was able to go to the Hawks Pacers game and the coaching staff looked fed up with him all game. So this doesn’t shock me

29. Mac could make a very good living if he just swallowed his pride and played overseas.

    I know his dream was to make it in the NBA. But more people know Mac than they do lots of guys who are in the league. He has made an impact on the NBA zeitgeist. He can take pride in that.

    Now go play some ball in Italy or something and make some money, brother.

30. Make a wish mcclung needs to hang it up or go overseas

31. Dude got hops but that alone ain’t enough

32. Just go to Europe at this point, Mac. Make some actual cash before you’re 30 and kick your feet up after.

33. Curious how much money he actually made off this deal.

34. Mac McClung is the Michael Jordan of anthony bennetts

35. My guy has completed the rainbow challenge with jerseys in 1 season.

36. this is just mean bro

    Snip snap snip snap

37. There once was a guard named McClung

    Whose name just rolled right off the tongue

    He could dunk like no other

    But the GM said, “brother,

    Your time here in Indy is done”
