Horrible move by the Pacers. I'm well aware they already had Paul George but he wasn't what he was now at the time. George Hill is one of the worst starting point guards in the league while Kawhi is a potential max contract player and a top 5 perimeter defender. Horrible trade.

lets be real. who's to say kawhi leonard would have developed to half the player he currently is...if developed by the pacers staff instead of the much superior spurs staff?
you can't just assume he'd be the same player or have the same role.
yea i think that kawhi going to the spurs was the best thing for him as a player.

The Pacers have 2 max players on their roster that wasn't drafted in the top 7 of their respected drafts. Lance has developed nicely. I don't see how Leonard wouldn't have done the same.

you still cant assume that....and do hibbert or paul play like max players to you?
lance is still a wild card and isnt that dependable.
with all that said i feel like all 3 of those players would be better under popovich.

larry bird is a fukkin horrible gm, but gets a pass for obvious reasons :mjpls:

- team has had no bench for the past 3 years
- george hill trade - horrible
- scola trade - horrible.. traded away plumlee - couldve been a solid bench player, green - breakout year, you telling me these guys couldntve played 10-15 mins a night... AND THEY THREW IN A FIRST ROUND PICK :bryan:

granger trade - horrible, needed his leadership when things fell apart

team was on the cusp on the nba finals, and bird did nothing to improve the team :pacspit:

Baby steps man. How about #2 or #3 option?

They did the season before they got paid.

That's bad coaching, ur making a player do something he can't do.. He plays better when he's not the point
