[Woj] Pacers dump TJ Leaf on Thunder

[Kurt Heimlich]

When I visualize the amount of draft picks OKC has hoarded I like to imagine Presti as Scrooge McDuck, swan diving into his vault of treasures at the opening of Duck Tales.

[Buzzard]

Pacer fans should be dancing in the streets. They did not have to give up Oladipo and/or Turner while taking on Hayward or Bogdan; yet still got under the luxury threshold. Its a miracle I tell you!

OKC has so many picks now. I will go look in a couple of weeks when everything is settled.

Best news of the day. I was skeptical we were going to be able to dump Leaf as management deemed the draft day price too expensive. But they were right.

I hope Leaf gets a chance in OKC too. He's a good kid whose game just didn't translate but partially because he didn't get much of a shot.

I don't know much about Lecque, but pretty much anything is better than Leaf I suppose.

What’s most important is that he was once here, allowing us to have all the TJ’s in league history. It’s time for others to begin the TJ acquisition process now, too.

Years ago the Pacers had TJ Ford and well as a bunch of CJ's.

Once upon a time, the Clippers rolled out three Davis'.

Brownie points to those that can name the three

Are Ricky Davis and Baron Davis two of them?

Si señor. Paul Davis was the third

You are correct that leaf didn't get much play with the Pacers but if he'd went to Ft Wayne and worked hard he'd be a better player. I think he should have stayed in school, but he's made a lot of money compared to what the average freshman drop out makes after quitting school for a job.

It's rare for me to come across someone who played four years in the league in the last 15 years, that I've never heard of before, but here we are. I'm almost positive I have no clue who Paul Davis and his bb-ref and wiki page didn't spark any memories

[Topofthekey]

I’m surprised we got off him for just 1 second, even if we had to take a minimum contract back.

I like this deal a lot. Never should have picked that guy, but lets hope the Lecque "Le Q" becomes the best player in the trade! Not much doubt he already is.

I think Leaf is actually the better player

He just wasn't given the opportunity, and Pacers and old Nate were just the wrong team and coach for him
