Yeah not even getting a 1st round with lotto protection out to 2056 was criminal. 2 seconds are worthless like obi trying to box out.

If he puts up numbers we're going to be called out, it doesn't matter to the Pacers (or media) if he was drafted before Haliburton, all that matters is can he produce. It'll be LOLKnicks gave a conference rival a starting PF.

Most of y'all were calling him Frankinburton too :lol:


Tbf, he shoots like he is flinging sht off his hands so Frankinburton was a pretty safe risk. Sham just didn't factor in his curse. So here we are a guy with the shooting form of a 4th grader getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars.


he's a smiley soft-seeming slender man built motherf*cker that shoots like shawn marion with a broken arm. how this worked out i'll never know.

He's going to be good with them. They play up tempo and when they're in the halfcourt it'll be Obi that is used as the rollman. He was traded to the best place possible for him with a floor spacing C and a passing PG.

I also remember melo was hyping up Obi as a superstar and celebrating when we drafted him. Poor guy was cursed.

So we have a slot open for a backup PF. Preferably a 6’8” dude who can 3&D at both the 3 and 4 positions?

You want to talk sham(e)? You wanted Isaac _k_r to add to our collection of guys who can't shoot. I win this by default.

Did we really just dump the 8th pick and a very productive young player for a trade exception?

This is what I want. Give me a Kurt Thomas pf who isn't mentally weak and plays hard. Boxes out, spaces the floor, and makes the opposing team hurt after the game.

I don't need a goofy running pf who can't defend.

Obi is worth exactly 2 2nd round picks since this is his last year of his rookie contract. He's not that good. Thibs could have tried to maximize Obi better, but in the end he's an energy backup PF in this league. His production is easily replaceable.

But hard to say since i also didnt have Edwards or Deni crazy high either.

My wish list was basically 3 guys...then went back and forth with the other options..Obi was out of my top 10.
1. LaMelo
2. Hayes
3. Haliburton

its likely the best we couldve gotten for him. i doubt anyone was really interested in him after seeing how unplayable he was against the heat. he looked like he didnt belong lol


You think so? I mean he’s definitely not going to be a super star, probably not a star, but I definitely think he’s a solid role-player/contributor given time, and sadly in today’s NBA getting that out of a lottery pick outside the top 2-3 is acceptable. I still think we undersold but who knows, maybe you’re right.
