Hollinger: What's wrong with Indiana Pacers?

Re: Hollinger: What's wrong with Indiana Pacers?

I was called more than pessimistic but I said this over and over. The Pacers off season was a waste. The Plumless draft was a huge mistake. There was a reason Dallas didn't want Mahimi and the Bobcats wanted nothing to do with Augustine. Green has shown ability but no willingness to be anything more than a jump shooter and a dunker. Paul George has tons of ability but mentally is way too passive to ever be a star player. In the Hawks game when the team needed someone to step up nobody did because there is NO star on this team. And Vogel deserves some blame. His offense is terrible. The last play in the Hawks game was pathetic. Pass the ball around the 3-point line until time runs out and throw up an airball. I am sick and tired of all the talk coming from the Pacers and Vogel in particular. It reminds me of the Jermaine O'Neal days. Big talk and can't back it up.

Assuming he Bobcats front office was not lying , their GM said that they did extened a 4 year offer to Augustine and t was MORE than the Pacers signed him for (annually) . Augustine just wanted out of Charloette and to play for an up and coming playoff team

If you want to talk mistakes, talk about wasting amnesty on an expiring Posey. Could have been used on Pendergraph or Jones or whoever else it was that cost us DC for nothing.

While you are right that we could have amnestied Jones, we could not have used the amnesty on Pendergraph, as Pendergraph was signed after the new CBA was ratified, therefore, he is ineligilble to be amnestied.

Really, Jones was probably the only player left on this roster that we would have used it on, since we weren't using it on Granger, or Hibbert/Hansborough/George rookie deals, or Stephensons cheap deal. There really aren't a lot of contracts actually left that can be amnestied.
