Suns - Love
Cavs - #4


I think Fox although we'd have to look at Jackson and Tatum depending upon who Boston takes at 3. we'd also have to listen to offers of multiple firsts to trade down as without PG opting for quantity could make sense.

18. Indiana — Jordan Bell, F, Oregon. This could be a stretch for Bell, who has been slotted as a late first-round pick. But there are teams in the top 20 who just might take the plunge. The Pacers worked out Bell back in mid-May, and he was a standout at the NBA Draft Combine just before that. The Pacers are headed into an offseason pocked with question marks, and they should be open to drafting the best available player. But the prospect of putting an athletic, defensively versatile big man into the frontcourt with Myles Turner will be tempting.

You know in light of the news from the last few days I don't even care. As far as I'm concerned if the Pacers are gonna roll over and take this they should just fold the franchise or sell it to someone who'll move it to Seattle.

What exactly would you expect them to do? Or what would you do in the GM's shoes? Just let him walk away at the end of the season? Or try and get some assets. I think I'd prefer the latter. It obviously sucks

I'd file a complaint with the NBA over tampering with one of our players who is under contract there is loads of evidence that Magic Johnson engaged in unethical behavior in this case. But our feckless gutless leadership will likely roll right over like a 2 dollar hooker.

The big problem is that Realgm is not a site that allows free speech. If I said what I'd like to say I'd get suspended or banned. I got suspended for 12 hours Sunday for saying what I thought and I didn't even include my normal string of profanity.

OK, say you did, and they say they didn't find anything. Then what?

Then I would have total in irrefutable evidence that the NBA is fixed and I'd quit watching it, if it was my team I'd sell the team and become a fan of WWE wrestling which is a more legit sport than the NBA which has become a joke.

Not sure I care to have Kennard or Bell. Both repped by Mintz. I just don't see Pritchard drafting either after getting shafted by Mintz only a few days prior to the draft.

I want Bam Adebayo. Our staff has taught countless bigs how to play basic good defense and his physical tools are really nice. If Burke can make Seraphin play decent defense, I like our chances of developing Bam.

I am not one that generally knows much about the finer details about how well different types of college players transition to the pros.

But I am pretty excited to have a new player with new potential join the team, it's gonna be good to start thinking about what the Pacers are gonna look like in the future and about what new talent we might have to develop. Even more exciting to think that KP might be working the phones for a trade for more picks. It will be fun to see what happens.

Never had a realistic chance for Tatum. Hope we can pry a next year's pick from Celts.

Happy with Leak. Now buy back in.

We should buy as many picks as possible.
