Pacers got rid of Lance, West, and Hibbert. Any team that finishes worse than them needs serious evaluation.

They added Monta ellis and myles turner tho

Hibbert and Lance were two guys who didnt fit together. Hibbert is a softy while Lance was crazy

Pacers have good guards in CJ miles, Watson, and Stucky

They also added Jordan Hill. They have retooled nicely, tho its entirely up to Paul George and if he elevates his game.

Yea' Pacers did fairly well trying to come to form, questions about their front court remain tho... highly unlikely Myles gives them much his first year. They're almost completely a different team

Second and third string guards - certainly at least 2 or 3 levels below Goran and Wade.

of course they made additions but they were not scared to mix it up while getting younger. Still an unproven team. If they even sniff thplayoffs that will be impressive. Only other team I can think of off the top of my head with dramatic changes are the hornets and they will probably suck like always.

I think the Pacers have done well this off season besides losing West. Should be a playoff team imo

The pacers were relevant the same time we had lebron.. Last year we both sucked now look at our roster....

Yet the Pacers had as much of a shot to make the playoffs last season as us. The bottom portion of the EC is wide open. There could be as many as two surprising teams making the playoffs last season just like Boston and Brooklyn. I could see the Pacers and Pistons making a case there. The question is, are we going to be healthy enough to move to the top group of the conference or are we going to be "hopeful" like some of the bottom feeders.

I like our chances to retain a top 4 seed in the East.

I dont get the trade for Portland having to give up two second rounders in order to help another team salary dump. Did they want Mike Miller that bad?

Poor Miller. He's literally going to his own grave in Portland. They did em dirty :lol:

Ahhhh nevermind. Portland getting back those picks.

LOL MILLER

Wait what if they waive him and he can join back? (Edit : to cleveland... Not here hell no)

Either way its funny

Edit : apparently Miller is fine with it and LBJ because he wanted a chance to play again... This dude serious? He can barely walk. We tried to trade him and we amnestied him so he did have a healthy season after, but people still think it made Lebron so angry he left, pfft please
