If you sign Faried, you simply cannot play him with Dom Sabonis for spacing reasons. Dom would simply be double teamed every single possession as Faried really cannot exist offensively outside of 5 feet. And he simply cannot defend now. He’s a rebounder and outback scorer and nothing more.

Believe me. I’ve banged the drum for Faried for years. He’s not the guy for this roster.
So, you tell that better is to watch Leaf?

I don’t know what you’re asking. But if Leaf has continued to improve and play as he did at the end of last season, absolutely. He can at least stay out of Dom’s space.

If you play Faried with Sabonis, you will make Sabonis worse by having him double teamed constantly. I’m ok with adding a PF, though we already have 15 guys and are at the limit and would have to waive guys to add guys, but Faried isn’t the guy to play next to Sabonis. Maybe Alize or Sampson are, but not Faried.

You want to sign him for one game? Who are you waiving? We’re at the limit.

Obviously, there will be more days without centres... so Bowen could be released...

Faried who? Looks like Myles and Domas were holding back Leaf all this time :lol:

But seriously, can the Pacers develop a big who DOESN'T have to play center? LOL. In fairness though, I don't think it's so much the Pacers' fault as it is the league-wide demise of the two big lineup.

Bowen's and Naz Mitrou-Long are on 2 way contracts, not NBA contracts. Faried is ineligible to be signed using a 2 Way Contract due to his longevity in the league. That won't solve the problem.
