WE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great day in Pacer Basketball!!!

Trade Tinsley - FOR ANYTHING!
Trade Daniels - FOR ANYTHING!
Trade Jermaine
Draft PG or Combo Guard in Round One and try and draft DJ White in 2nd Round.

If we can't trade JO I say we draft Hibbert.
Not a very good scorer.. But a good defender and good rebounder to complement JO.

Flip/Diener
Dunleavy/Rush?/Daniels
Danny/Williams
JO/Diogu
Hibbert/Murphy/Foster

What do you think of Hibbert as a option?

No to Hibbert, he doesn't do anything extraordinarily well, and he's not that athletic or overly physical at the center position. I'd much rather go with DeAndre Jordan, McGee, or Thabeet before Hibbert.

While it's easy to say "Trade Tinsley", the fact is, is that nobody really wants him, and we'd get negative value back.

Nice to see you so excited about the loss.

I'll tell you what I think of Hibbert. I'd rather us not need him. In fact, I don't think we do. We haven't given Ike much of a chance yet, and I'd rather draft a PG and give Ike more time to develop than wait for a rookie. Trades are also overrated, every time, unless a front office actually does one. Then, it's only overrated 50% of the time. There are some many thing about trading that we don't see, because there's more than just statistics and a player's past performance going into it. Also, you never know who's going to fall into out laps in the draft.

Also, it's going to be SO tough drafting a guy who's going to be playing college ball next season.

You think DJ will come back next year? Last I heard he was going to apply for the final year of eligibility just in case but hadn't made a decision yet...has he said for sure?

Hadn't heard that FreeRon, but I sure hope he does come back. . .

But anyway. . .Woohooo. . .let's play the LOTTO!

Do you honestly think Hibbert comes into the league and starts as a rookie?

Post #8 » by **Miller4ever** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 3:29 pm

Hibbert is withdrawing from the draft.

What do you mean by that. Hibbert's exhausted all his eligibility and is automatically entered in the draft.

My bad. I was thinking about something else.

Do I think he can start as a rookie?.. By the end of the year I do.

One thing that made the Pacers great a few years ago was our ability to Rebound and Play D. Hibbert does both of those things well. He is also a very good Passing Big Man.

Hibbert...a poor man's Stuart Gray.

I think if we're going forward with JO at the PF spot, then, whether you like it or not, Roy Hibbert might b a very likely possibility as a selection. He would be the type of player that could play next to JO, and play well.

Hibbert is my worst case scenario pick. I think we have put off selecting a PG for too long now. The only way I would put off selecting it one more year is if DeAndre Jordan or another good player falls to us.

Oh, ****, Scoot...my whole life is "whether I like it or not". :wink:

If we picked Hibbert, I would hurl myself from a bridge. We wont, so lets stop talking about it. Where we are picking, these are the guys I wouldnt mind seeing us take: Westbrook, Augustin, Randolph, Love, and if he fell that far, Gordon.

I would love for us to nab a Donte Green like person...a true 3/4 hybrid.

Tins/Flip/Diener
Dunleavy/Rush?/Daniels
Danny/Williams
Murphy/Greene/Diogu
JO/Foster/Harrison

I just think we are set at the swingman positions. They are the easiest positions to find quality players at, and by far our strongest position. I just think we either go for a 4/5 or a point guard, with my preference being for a point. I still have high hopes for Shawne Williams as a quality 6th man next season. I think we should look into trading Marquis too...dont think I'm alone there though.
