2022-23 NBA Random Thoughts thread, Volume XIX: Perfectly Balanced, as All Things Should Be

[graphic-er]

Not specifically coming after you, I see a bunch of this on Twitter and I personally have less than zero desire for that reunion, redemption, or rehab project in my city. Perfect skillset in the wrong person.

(I don’t know if you are endorsing the idea Wage, just quoting you to rant on the subject)

I definitely think think PG13 knows he isn't winning anything with the Clippers and hitching his boat to Kwahi. Plus he has a chronically messed up shoulder himself. He knows he needs to land somewhere that has a young promising team that can do the heavy lifting and be okay with him missing games every year to load manage his shoulder. Indiana would probably fit the bill just fine for him.

All this talk about Lebron playing until his son in the league. Would his son even sniff the 1st round if it wasn't known that Lebron would joing his son's team? I mean that has to factor into his draft right? Maybe Lebron knows his son isn't anything special on the court right now. So he gonna get him drafted in the 1st round by dangling this carrot out there.

I think PG isn't even chasing a ring. I feel like he would rather be in LA above all else

I would rather spend 45 million next year and the following
year anywhere than with PG

Can't quote an embedded tweet for some reason, but dayum, CJ, way to spoil my day.

I still can’t believe Prince got there. Watching that replay is like watching the 06 Indy 500 when Hornish passed Marco. Its still hard to believe it even though you know what happens.

I'm probably fair to quote here because I personally would love to see PG return. Wouldn't want to trade for him and wouldn't want him at a contract anywhere near what he's at now, but having him come back out for something around what Buddy is making would be amazing as far as I'm concerned.

[CJ Jones]

My bad. This one's better.

Alright then, screw you and the horse you rode in on!

Chad Buchanan said Turner is consulted on player moves. smh

"Listening to Chad Buchanan on the Keeping the Pace podcast I can’t quote but basically their wasn’t a design last year they just had to clean things up to start to build back, but the needs are obvious and we want to improve on defense.. Said Myles/Ty have input on player moves."

Not surprising this is the same clown team asking Thad Young before making any decision even though they knew he wasn’t coming back.

I don't think that Turner is important enough to include him on the same level as Halliburton ( whose the obvious Franchise Player and face of the Franchise ).

Despite many here on the forum's hate for Turner and clamouring to move him, I suspect that the Pacers aren't actively shopping him with plans to keep him moving forward.

This doesn't mean that he's untouchable, just that they intend to keep him unless there is a "godfather" offer ( unlikely ) or there is a move that they really want to make that requires including him to make that trade happen ( such as the rumored run at #3, which would likely have to include as asset like Turner to make it worthwhile for the Blazers ).

Hmmm, hasn’t someone been saying this for the last half decade on this very board.
