He’s loathed in Pacers Twitter land. He’s burned a lot of bridges in his attempts to chase clout and create clickbait. I don’t think he can get “press credentials” for anything Pacers related (or Colts related).

Is he a Pacers fan? Indy-based?

I'd like to see some Adams + (Filler) for Horford .. Adams is loved in Thunder, could be their veteran leader
Horford is old, but I am intrigued by his fit with Zion, on paper it looks great and I think you have to put, a good ring protector together Zion ..
Bledsoe for Hield seems fair ..
The Kings save 2 years of Buddy and something this year ..
Or 3 teams ...
Kuzma / Mckinnie / Gasol to Kings
Bledsoe / 2 seconds(NOP) to Lakers
Hield to NOP ...
I think Bledsoe, he fits in well in Lakers

Though on the flip side Austin Rivers has been huge---and not one of the bUyOuTz R rUiNiNg tHe LeAgUe guys even mentioned him.
Buyouts don't favor the elite teams nor do they decide series or champions basically ever. Let's please not do this again next year.

Drummond's agent basically committed malpractice by forcing him to the Lakers. It was a bad fit on paper. But I would note that the Lakers lost, pretty handedly, the game Drummond was DNP'd.Texas Chuck wrote:Chuck's weekly petty buyout reminder.

Blake Griffin? Definitely been better than what the Nets should have been able to get given their situation. Always an advantage to have another team pay for your bench, even if it's not gonna swing a series/championship. Inches matter.
Just because it rarely has an affect doesn't mean it's not an advantage. Having a lottery ticket is still better than not having one.

Blake’s playing 20 minutes per night so far in the playoffs putting up 5/3/2 and putting up negative offensive and defensive advanced stats. I wouldn’t call him positive yet. He’s truly been replacement level so far.

Turner should absolutely be shopped, but Evan Massey is one of the absolute worst “insiders”. He doesn’t have access to anyone, or anywhere. He purports to be an NBA, NFL, NCAA, MLB, and racing insider. He has no idea how the NBA Cap rules work (previously said the Warriors were monitoring Kawhi’s free agency this offseason with interest in signing him……how?). He’s not affiliated with anyone. He doesn’t even get invited to the lowest levels of any local radio, or even podcasts. He’s absolutely the worst type of clickbait based writer selling his soul hoping to get an invite on a show, any show. In his write ups, every one of his citations only link back to his own tweets that he used to base that article off of. HE. IS. THE. WORST. Like, he should be banned from being cited here unless he proves a well researched future with fact based reporting that not only comes true, but wasn’t just an obvious write up to begin with.
I’m probably more connected to the Pacers than Evan Massey is, and I’ve only got tertiary, AT BEST, connections there
BUT….it’s also common sense. And the teams he listed as “interested” are also relatively common sense teams that reportedly need a long-term answer at center. So, fling enough spaghetti at the wall, and maybe something eventually sticks.

So he's Arye Abraham with a check mark.

Oh I have always conceded that useful players get bought out. Bucks got some play from Wes Matthews and Marvin Williams in recent years for instance.
But I was told by many many people that the NBA was ruined because Drummond went to the Lakers and of course that didn't happen because buyout players are never the missing piece. They never decide teh champion and never decide a series.
It's much ado about nothing that got blown up because big names went to LA and Brooklyn and because a couple people were mad that their team had to buyout guys who clearly had negative value but they simply could not come to terms with it.
