On paper there's no way we should win this one.

Would love to have a guy like Sabonis but it would cost so much to get him

Rumour has it he can be had for the right price! Same as Brogdon!

Maybe the Pacers are tired of being playoff fodder for better teams but if those rumours are true that boggles my mind

Sabonis for Wright + Plumlee + Hayes + Secours?

No way Indy says yes but would be interesting from our end. I think Sabonis would fit really well in a front court with Grant and Bey.

Is this the Wayne Ellington showcase game? I hope he goes 8 for 8 from the three!

I wish we could see Diallo minutes soon, watching Frank Jackson start feels like a waste of time.

Man, that was one tanktastic lineup with Lee and Jackson in the backcourt, Jackson or Bey at the three, and Sekou and Stewart at the four/five. You basically have two players - Sekou and Jackson - who couldn't make any other team in the league solely based on their play. And I get the argument that Sekou needs time to develop, but I see nothing to convince me that time should be coming in actual games. He's not there. Why pretend?

If only Sekou had played 35 minutes every game. That would have made all the difference.

Nice adjustment by Plumlee to redirect the lob that was too high for him to finish. Smart play.

Stewart working hard on the box outs and guards able to swipe in for rebounds. Doesn't show up on the stat sheet but its for sure key in help a team win. Some bigs go after all the rebounds, but fundamentally sound players fit their man and get in position to box out and help ensure they get the rebound over their man. Sometimes rare for rookies to not care about the stats and do the little things that help you win. Great to see from Stewart.

Wayne Ellington, delivering clutch play for the Pistons at the deadline. Thank you.

I felt I was on the more Patient side for Sekou but the dude doesn’t do anything positive with his minutes. Consistently, nothing positive, if anything he has gotten worse, more turnovers, no consistent place he looks good shooing the ball.he isn’t currently a NBA player,

I find it hard to believe there isn't a contender(or pretender)that could use the services of Ellington, Plumlee, or Wright. There has to be offers on the table.
