Per shams we are now looking to move Buddy

The time to move Buddy was exactly 1 year ago but here we are. I don't see a tall defensive minded 3 that's ready to contribute now that we could land. If we could get a projected lottery range 1st I'd do that but barring that unlikely occurrence I'd be fine with taking a gamble on Leonard Miller if Minnesota would do it.Why do teams tank? Ask a Spurs fan.Comment

I read somewhere that a Buddy trade makes it more likely we sign Nesmith to a reasonable extension. Not sure if that was purely just conjecture or not but I don't hate that, if it's reasonable enough.Comment

It is just Buddy, Toronto is going to want at least 4 first rounders. I wouldnt pay that much for OG. He is good, but often injured. He is also going to demand a lot of money in the summer of 2024. I would hate to lose Buddy and a bunch of picks for someone we cannot afford to re-signComment

We would be absolute fools to let him go.. I do not believe he minds the 6th man role honestly.. I just think the offer he received, we was lowballing him.. and he knows he is worth more.. Hell Doug McDermott got great $$ and he isn't half the player and shooter that Hield is ..
Not to mention but I will , he and Eric Gordon led the Bahamas to their first ever win and invitation next year.
Doug McDermott signed a 3 year / $41,250,000 contract with the San Antonio Spurs, including $41,250,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $13,750,000. In 2023-24, McDermott will earn a base salary of $13,750,000, while carrying a cap hit of $13,750,000 and a dead cap value of $13,750,000
I think Hield is worth 20 /year easily .. and especially playing with Tyrese and Nembhard and with this special Pacers team that I believe we have goin on ...
I think (and hope) that this report is just normal back and forth negotiations and Buddy stays here ..
We will regret not having that sweet shooting stroke when the game is on the line.."Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."Comment

We may regret not having his shooting next season, yes, but not as much as we would regret locking him up for 20 mil + a year for the foreseeable future and what that might do to our cap flexibility, especially as all these young guys start leaving their rookie contracts plus Tyrese's new deal.Comment

I like him but I’m very ok moving him. He has been good in Indy but is also the perfect example of a player with an elite talent that yields diminishing returns. Let’s not forget that even with his 3 pt shooting, this team went on a very long and painful losing streak the moment Haliburton went out due to injury. I’m also not interested in paying him to barely make the playoffs/lose in the first round. I’d rather try something else.Peck is basically omniscient when it comes to understanding how the minds of Herb Simon and Kevin Pritchard work. I was a fool to ever question him and now feel deep shame for not understanding that this team believes in continuity above talent.Comment

What I'm most curious about is what these supposed extension numbers looked like. Why does it seem the Pacers always have **** drag on into the dog days where no one is in deal making mode? You're telling me we didn't know we were too far apart back at the draft?

They hadn't extended Hali Burton by then so they might have been waiting to see how that priority planned out first?BillS
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...Comment
