Paul George staying in Indy

[tremonthustler1]

yeah.....id take him just to make sure he can't fukk around and get focused and help the someone else

i forgot to mention granger.....granger had a 14 mil expiring that they could have used/ im not the biggest brandon jennings fan, but they desperately needed a pg who can put the ball on the floor and make plays

brandon jennings signed for 8 mil, oj mayo signed for 8 mil. they coulda dumped granger and grabbed those two guys. so many f*ck ups......now theyre capped out with no flexibility

hibbert making 15
west making 12
george making 18

Jennings got signed and traded. Indiana wasn't gonna be able to land Jennings since Milwaukee was ready to match. If you wanted to pay Jennings and Hill $8 mil apiece, good luck.

And no, dumping Granger doesn't mean they were gonna get that much in free cap space. That's not how deals work

now we just saw Beasley flame out in Phoenix. If Indy didn't think he was worth it, that's on them. Mind you they drafted Solomon Hill and still have George and Granger and Scola. You think the Pacers were thinking "PLEASE don't let Beasley go to Miami, this could haunt us? "

david west is a 33 year old unathletic face up big man who was smoking bunnies against that small heat front court. you cant give a 33 year old non all star that much money

statistically David West is one of the most productive PF in the league, and the unquestioned leader of the team. He has worth every penny. And i don't see how the Pacers are unable to afford him seeing how they're on the verge of signing George to a max and already locked down Hibbert for the max as well. Hasn't seemed to caused them any problems salary cap wise

 

[tremonthustler1]

He's not wrong.

Al >>> West, but you already know West fits the Pacers and you have the Bird Rights to keep him. Don't rock the boat

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

They don't have anybody else. Gotta keep your talent in when ain't no good talent coming in indy any time soon.

Al is better now and he's 5 years younger.

but less attainable and perhaps not as good of a fit for Indiana.

It wasn't a choice between Al or West. No West = the only way you'd have a shot at signing Jefferson would be to give Granger away for free.

I agree.

why did we have a lockout again?

what was Indiana supposed to do?


Y'all are the same ones that want these franchise players taken care of (shyt y'all think they're UNDERPAID) yet when they get an extension y'all bytch about the money they make. The hypocrisy is incredible. They didn't give Ian Mahinmi $90 mil. They gave their best player $90 mil. Unless you think they should blow up a team 1 game away from a Finals appearance, don't complain.

 

[Colejeezy]

Definitely over paid but he was goin to bolt to LA if they didnt...

my point was they supposedly locked out the players because the system was fukked up, but GMS/ownership continue to do the same dumb shyt. only thing now is the owners get a bigger slice of the pie to continue to fukk up.

but why are you using the Pacers locking up Paul George as an example to harp on this?

That's like me saying what you said once Cleveland re-ups Kyrie Irving.

thats a lot of money for someone who isnt elite. he has the potential to be but damn. he must have a good agent

 

[bl2k8]

People in here acting dumb, their hands were tied. Who the fukk else was gonna come to Indiana in the near future with Paul George's talent?

 

[jwinfield]

Not necessarily.

He's the best player on a small market team that was one game away from the finals.
