But I see at least 3 trades on the T&T forum about how the roster is in need of balance and how Turner and Sabonis don't "Fit" the only "Fit" we're gonna see is one of my Tourettes like fits when I unleash a barrage of profanity at my computer screen next time I see this!![]()

Cuz that always seemed like way less of a fit than Turner/Sabonis.

Funny (but on target) that you mention him. During the game with the '76ers I found myself wondering if Leaf had played his way off the roster, and if so, where might he land.

Anyone who has seen the pacers play this year can see that Sabonis and Turner fit together fine. Hell, Sabonis is 8th in basketball in defensive win shares. They are both thriving in their current roles together and there is no reason to think that changes as they age and develop, they're both 23 and we have them under contract for awhile. Moving either would be stupid imo

I don't know about him gaining "a ton" of weight, but they did show a good look at his face on TV and it looked fuller. Maybe he is...what is it they say...growing into his frame? Or something like that?

I don't understand why Leaf is not at Ft Wayne! We need a backup PF who can play not some tall Kroger bag boy who kinda looks like a basketball player!

I'm not familiar with Leaf's game, what does he do well, if anything?
