    My unpopular opinion thread (summer 2017 version)

    Since we are going to be entering the dog days of summer here I thought now would be a good time to roll out a new annual post I've been thinking about.

    In this thread please take the time to enter your unpopular opinion and let's all have some fun agreeing/disagreeing/debating them.

    We all have some form of opinion that goes against the grain and we've all secretly wanted to get it out there so let's do this.

    Oh btw, you can have multiple unpopular opinions (God knows I will).

    I'll even be so kind as to start.

    I think that Isiah Thomas takes way to much blame for his coaching here with the Pacers. (there I said it)

    Pritchard just had an offseason worthy of executive of the year, but probably won't be recognized for it because the benefits won't pay off for a year or two.

      I think Mark Jackson would make a great coach.

        My unpopular opinion is that PG is vastly over-rated.

          Myles Turner will be another Hibbert in 3 years.

          The Danny Granger trade wasn't the reason for the collapse it was PG and Lance.

          Jamaal Tinsley selected the right weapon that night.

            Paul George did a huge favor for this franchise.

              The Pacers need new ownership with Simon's loyalty to the city, but with Irsay's desire to win championships.
              Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

                  The guy who will step up the most this season is going to be... Lance.

                    People are too scared the Pacers would abandon Indiana for a different city. I don't think many people realize how expensive it is to move a franchise. The new owner would have to obtain a approval of board of governors, fund a new stadium, and pay the moving cost as well as buying a NBA team that might be worth close to a billion dollars now. Also it is usually a team of people of buy a team, so everyone would have to agree to move the team. This is no longer an 11 million dollar franchise like it was back in the 80s.

                      Keeping this in the current. I miss PG already. Oh wait that is not an opinion.

                      I cannot stand it that Lance is a member of the Pacers team. The fact that he is the last player standing from the ECF teams really burns me up. He is going to make it very hard for me to watch this season. His game IMO is all flash, no substance and I believe he has many Pacers fans fooled into thinking he is the savior of God knows what.

                        This. Especially on this board. Top 20 ain't that special.

                          we dodged the bullet called "paying pg an absurd amount of money he is nowhere near deserving"

                              Dipo and Myles are average players, Sabo is Tyler Hansbrough with a jump shot.
