What a fantastic summer for my Pacers! Every move was between a B and A. Positioned to be a top-6 team for many years. Deep and well-rounded, and well-coached. As a lifelong Hoosier, this is what we want - an exciting team that makes the playoffs and has a chance. I remember Reggie Miller's entire career, and this feels better than that and the Malice in the Palace teams (which were better, still think we had a legit shot that year Artest lost it).
