Turner (probably)
Siakam
Nesmith
Mathurin
Nembhard

If the team is 15 games below .500 in January maybe it’s time to consider a trade.


You really want to resign Turner go into the tax and finish 6th? Get beat in the first round.


We’ve both been following the pacers for a while, we know that they value remaining as competitive as possible. Keeping Myles is an easy decision, there’s other moveable contracts if they want to duck the tax.

Id be very happy to run this team back and watch them compete in the playoffs as is. Math looks ready for a leap, Walker and Nembhard should be better.

Sheppard and Furphy should also be better. iJax is a possibility too. and Tyrese could pull a Willis Reed in May - his game isn't built on athleticism.

It's not just a matter of paying the tax there is the loss of the rebate as well. It's a significant amount of money for a small market team. I would like to resign Turner but I think it takes close to $30 million to keep him. Someone has to be moved to stay out of the tax. I am not confident this team goes anywhere without Haliburton.
