That was the 2nd thing I thought of. First was that the East is really wide open next season. Haliburton probably won't be back until 2026.

and think of the luck for indy to trade for that pick back.

Bob Myers was warning about this a couple games ago, calf strain can lead to Achilles. He was thinking of KD of course

Watching SGA being guarded reminds me of how Kobe used to be guarded.

Or did they know his injury was bad and re-aggregation was possible?

Pacers hanging tough. Watching Halliburton return lol. SGA does everything for OKC

yeah, same thing happened with durant and dame. it's a huge risk, especially at the intensity of these nba games. nevermind the nba finals

We've seen him as a first option, not good. More likely see TJ take over instead.

The first thought that came to me about the Achilles injury is that IND pick we traded away for Ingram is about to be good

TheGeneral99 · Post #1392 » by **TheGeneral99** » Mon Jun 23, 2025 12:39 am

If it's a torn achilles season contenders like the Bucks, the Pacers and the Celtics will be out of the run due to serious injuries to Hali, Tatum and Dame. It's also doubtful Embiid and George can stay healthy for Philly.

Gives more reason for Masai to make big moves and go for it because the East may be the weakest we've ever seen.

We have the Knicks and Magic as the top of the East next year and the rest is wide open, crazy.

How good will that Pacers pick be assuming Hali missed the year with achillies?....Trading that pick could haunt us if it ends up top 10.

A lot of the major players who got these injuries had to do extra compensating during that season for one reason or another - whether it was to kill themselves to get their team into the playoffs or overcompensating for another injury.

Could be, but how the hell do you predict these things.

Or if Ingram plays well it’s a steal. At this point I’m satisfied with the return we got for Siakam

If Indiana wins this and Siakam gets a Finals MVP.. he’s a Hall of Famer isn’t he? Wild.
