Lottery pick/Gross Over-Reaction Thread 

Post#1 » by 216pacers » Fri May 25, 2012 2:13 am

any way they can trade for a lottery pick?

chucker granger have any value left or do these playoff just prove how overrated he is?

trade west? george chucker hill?

trade the whole damn team for anthony davis or something


**** this team, bunch of jokes. they dont deserve to be supported.......just completely incompetent pretenders. they are far from contending and never will. the bench sucks, hansborough is one of the worst players ive ever seen. vogel

paul george plays like a scared learn some words - Scootand is the most disappointing player. i raved about this guy after they drafted him but it looks like he's proving that he doesn't have it. the guy is too scared to even shoot. dont care how young he is, by 22 you should grow a pair. doesnt know how to execute on fast breaks and isnt that good of a defender.

vogel is not a good coach. just terrible decisions and this team is not disciplined at all. the bench is trash and he leaves them in when the season is on the line. what happens.......double digit lead gone just like that. barbosa shouldnt be playing at all.....so much for veteran experience LMAO. dude sucks.


no heart whatsover and the dumbest team in the league. this is why i dont even bother watching.

Easy Ren.

How high were your expectations before the season?

Trading for lottery picks is USUALLY a bad plan. If you can get a team that is cash-strapped you may find a good deal. Normally, though, teams want crazy returns for the right to select a player that hasn't even stepped on the court for an NBA game. Too many busts.

Exactly.

Even though the season is over I still love my Pacers.

Let's hope that the next season is even better. Baby steps :D

WOW, this makes me laugh. What in the world do you want from a small market team? I want a championship but you have to be realistic, that was not going to happen this year. I think for being a small market team that no one wants to come to and the fact that Bird built thru the draft not making dumb/stupid big trades, this team did very well.

I’m curious to what you would expect to happen if they did trade up for a loto pick, win it all next year? Probably not, everyone would be calling for Birds head. Just relax and let Bird do what he does or find another team.

if they do well though, the contract situation is magnificent
