My concern was his durability. Historically guys with his frame have all sorts of feet issues, but he's also just sorta susceptible to injury in general due to lack of muscle mass. He's put on some weight, but has already missed an entire season due to a horrific injury.

Happy to see him back. Love his game and would love to have a guy like him...but jury is definitely still out on whether he's going to hold up over the long haul. I hope so.

Easy to forget given how dominant the Thunder were without him, but Chet missed 50 games this year.

Hope he's able to be a consistent contributor.

Kudos to Hali! Wish we could have drafted him instead of Hayes

Weaver would almost certainly still be here if that were the case. Would be really interesting to see where we'd be right now if our 2020 draft was something like Haliburton + Stewart + (any one of Bane, Pritchard, McDaniels, Quickley, Maxey).... instead of Bey.

Feels like that draft did end up with some real players outside the top 6 and we had 3 picks between 7 and 19 we could be an entirely different franchise in a different place right now.... not sure if we'd be better off or worse off but we'd certainly be entirely different.

Haliburton was my pick I actually watched a lot of youtube videos on him predraft and called him "Andre Miller with a 3 point shot"....

I got Indy going all the way. This entire post-season has been bonkers but TOR, DEN and MIL were all surprise champions in recent memory and Cavs will attest; it doesn't matter what you did in the regular season. It's about being healthy and peaking at the right time.

Tried to tell ya.

Loving it. Go Pacers!

[Kalamazoo317]

We'll see! I definitely thought they could be competitive, though

In retrospect, you could say that about a lot of players still in the league from that draft.
Jokes aside, that has to be one of the all-time colossal misses.

Myles Turner is a match up nightmare for any of the OKC bigs. He's 100% better than Naz with only his age being a negative. If we offer, I want a first rd pick for Duren and maybe a younger player with potential.

We could pretty easily trade away Font + 2nd rounder and get up to $25 million on cap space to offer Myles Turner a 4 year $110 million contract if we wanted to. I'm not so sure he comes here though. Also can't see Indy letting him walk after the year/run they have had.

Looks like Giannis likely ISN’T being traded after all.

That has a variety of impacts on the offseason. Doesn’t impact us too much other than having to play against him (on a mediocre team) for at least one more year.

He still probably gets traded eventually. Just not in this offseason.

He’s a key player on a team that just reached the finals and they’re willing to go into the LT to keep him. He also likes it there.

He’s not going anywhere.

Didn’t see anyone post this…

Pistons vs. Mavs, Mexico City, 11/1/2025.

Regular season game. Cooper Flagg. Great exposure for our team.

Bro...Caitlin Clark just hit like 5x 3's from about 28-30 ft out. We're not talking a step or two behind the line; she was running down court and launching from 4-8 ft behind the line. She was using her fwd momentum and just drilling em. But then she hit the step back from the same goddam spot. Bro listen, I'm trying to tell you...this isn't normal.

And Paige out here doing her thing. So incredibly hyped for the future of the W.

She’s incredible

I was pointing her out to my daughter and she instantly dropped a logo 3

Three thoughts on Desmond Bane to Orlando:

1) The Magic will be better next year. Quite a bit better if they are healthier. They will be in the mix for a home court seed easily if healthy. Bane fits a clear need.

2) Its an awfully steep price for someone who despite impressive stats I don’t view as a star player.

3) JJJ is probably available, but the cost will be steep, probably prohibitively so.

[ComboGuardCity]

If the bane trade is really going to set the market for this offseason, run it back lol

[MotownMadness]

That’s a lot for Bane but they definitely needed him
