    GET BEN SIMMONS PRITCHARD !!!!

    Yes I know the guy is not perfect but if there was a time to take a chance on a guy like him that time is right now, there is also the thing that if he was perfect he wouldn't be available


    24 years old healthy stars don't come available that often so here is the chance for Pacers to make some noise happen, so get Ben Simmons Pritchard !!!

      Things I am not eager to see: Pacers trading for a headcase making $125M who literally cannot be on the floor to close out a game in the fourth quarter, just years after we all witnessed the mental implosion of Roy Hibbert.

        I'm down if they throw in multiple future 1st round picks and we trade Turbonis to free up the center position.

        Ben Simmons is a center

          i would only gamble on trading for him if they accepted either of the below trade scenarios:

          Myles + Lamb + Justin

          or

          Brogdon + Lamb + Justin

          for

          Simmons + 2021 1st round pick

          If not, then pass. Ignoring all of his now fully exposed flaws in his game, a HUGE problem is that he is owed between $33 to 40 mil PER YEAR for the next 4 seasons ( all guaranteed ). The only reason why I am willing to gamble on him is simply because this team has to have a Starting Quality PG that can run the offense. We can't progress to the next level without that. The gamble is that you can hide his huge flaws. But the problem is that you have to live with his flaws for 4 seasons.

            I am also certain that if he watched the Sixers/Hawks series and how terrible that Simmons played that he would have SERIOUS reservations about taking him on.

              Some Pacers fans can stop acting like they are the Lakers or Boston fans any time now


              We are talking about a franchise who's free agency strategy few years ago was to get Tyreke Evans, so let's get off the high horse and stop pretending this franchise has a chance to get Curry in free agency or something.

                And yes he makes the equivalent of Myles Softner and Jeremy Lamb money, oh the horror of not having those two guys eating the cap space instead of Ben

                  I definitely get your point that now would be a great time to go after a guy like him. My concern is that his shooting issues are mental. This is a time where even though we need a star player, we need more mental toughness on this team too. What also concerns me is that his numbers seem to take a slight dip every year he’s been in the league. This past season was his worst year. We’d almost be getting him solely for his defense. I don’t think that’s worth his salary. I’d be willing to bet Philly would be interested in Brogdon though.

                    Ben has a 15% trade kicker. I doubt he waves that to come live in Indiana.

                      42 points and 0 of those were made jump shots...this guy works in the 1960s NBA, not today...and definitely not when they crank up the defense in the playoffs

                        Brogdan and Lamb for Simmons and a 1st and maybe a 2nd, I'd go for it.

                        Biggest team in the League: Simmons, LeVert, Warren, Turner, Sabo. lol

                          The team that should be around Ben when he comes to Pacers


                          Brogdon, LeVert, Holiday, Ben, Sabo, call me crazy but that team is top 4 in the east.

                            Can you at least watch the video before trying to troll? guy makes at least a couple of jumpers in the first minute of the video.

                              Probably not:

                              Green=Brogon
                              Curry = Levert (being generous to Levert and Brogon here)
                              Harris > > Holiday
                              Embiid >> Sabo

                              and Philly couldn't get past round 2.
