    The window has closed

    This group had a chance at a championship and squandered it. With other teams getting better, the return of Rose, and the inevitable offseason changes to this roster, we'll be going back into a pseudo-rebuild.

    It's about to get bad again, Pacers fans. Maybe not JOB-level bad, but bad nonetheless.

    Remember when we could have gotten 1-2 solid players and a possible Top 3 draft pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by trading away Paul George?

      I wouldn't go that far. We'll have our core guys...PG, Hill, West and Hibbert. everyone else is basically replaceable

        I think at least two starters will be gone. Maybe three.

          I'm also afraid we're about to lose most of the fans we got back. Hell, as a fan for 23 years now I don't even know if I want to go through this anymore.

            I don't believe we can with Hill. Hill is an above average player but he isn't the answer at the pg position. Hibbert is not a 14mil player. I've always thought to myself honestly, if hibbert was on another team, i would probably say he was overrated. But i always just think of what he can do, especially that he did it in the ECF.

              Pacers will trade Hill if they can, especially if they plan on keeping Lance. Hill is not the kind of PG we need for this team.

                  My question is what kind of burning desire do we have to keep Lance?

                      No idea. I am not a huge fan of either guy, but I think one will be on the roster next year.

                        Who will take Hibbert? No one...not with his contract and his recent play.

                        Fyi - we're still in the playoffs

                          Aren't you like a mod? You of all people should bite their tongue when it comes to incredibly knee-jerk reactions like this. Come on dude, you are better than this.

                            The window hasn't even closed on this season yet. This team playing it's best ball is better than any team in the league. It can still happen

                              I hate threads like this. There's still at least 1 more game to play and possibly many more.

                              We have ALL SUMMER to ***** and moan about what went wrong and what to do next. Might as well let the series finish first.
