2024 NBA Playoff Capsules (Second Round)

Previewing Wolves/Nuggets, Knicks/Pacers, Thunder/Mavericks and Celtics/Magic.

Joel Embiid carries the weight of expectations differently than others. As his fanbase and national media have constructed stories that have him as the potential messiah in a decade-long process of experimental team-building, coupled with the unusual rabidity of Philadelphia sports fans, he has accepted this role sincerely.

Kevin Durant's Exploratory Era

I agree with you that IND isn't going anywhere until they can move some of their "productive-but-overpaid" salaries. However, I think Dunleavy and Foster were worth their deals, and if the trade boards are any indication, several teams would like Foster. I don't think we'd be able to move Jaric in a deal, and they might be more encouraged if a deal included Troy Murphy.

Regarding other Pacers, I think there is no way Glen Taylor would touch Tinsley, the guy they most want to move. JO is a question. He is a good player, but he's the second highest paid player in the league this year and next, and he's not the second best player in the league by a longshot. I'll be curious what happens to that guy.
