It was the most Indy was permitted to offer him. I suspect he gave them the hometown discount and had more lucrative opportunities elsewhere. If he negotiated a player option after year 1, may end up being a brilliant gamble on himself. Path exist for him to start at the 4 and really showcase next year

I saw a lot of potential to have started Smith at the 4 and eventually Williams at the 5, a bit like the Cavs have done last year with Allen and Mobley

Garland played well last year, but that contract is a bit premature IMO

Bledsoe is a FA, if we're looking for a cheap veteran defensive combo guard. I'm not a fan of him offensively, but there's definitely a place for him here.

I don't think we are going to bring Kemba back. Will not good for the locker room, because Kemba was the leader here and now it's Lamelo team.

Hell yeah. We should definitely pick him up. He's a solid NBA player.

Didn't shoot well but 13 boards is "all" downhill?

He rebounded ok but overall didn't play well at all.

he will drop 18 on 7-10 shooting in exactly one of the four games against the Hornets, guaranteed.

Glad we didn't. He could've easily been Maxiell 2.0 with Cliff. Muuuuuch rather give the minutes to Mark/Kai/Nick.
