By Pac-2 Go To PostChet is 2-10 and -8 and y'all got nothing, huh.
Plumlee was destroying him in the first half
If Thunder run into a vet team in the playoffs then it’ll be a 7 game series
Even against the Lakers, Suns or Warriors
Playoff shookness is real, look at Chet tonight

I was noting earlier that among NCAA Champion Duke Brotherhood official member Mason Plumlee's traits that despite being blonde and in his 30s, Mason still has his hair.
For comparison, this picture of Hulk Hogan was taken when he was 22.
Bruce is overpaid for what he's contributing atm, so I understand the deal from the Pacers perspective if it goes down. The fact that they'll be forced to pay Siakam a max is tough.
Bezos saving Bally sports/getting their feet in the door for the upcoming TV contract negations.
Amazon will partner with Diamond Sports as part of a restructuring agreement as the largest owner of regional sports networks looks to emerge from bankruptcy.
Under the terms of the restructuring agreement, Amazon will make a minority investment in Diamond and enter into a commercial arrangement to provide access to Diamond's content via Prime Video.

Think Pacers are at the right moment to make that type of trade, they're good enough that they're no longer going to be building through the draft, and it's not often that an All-NBA player that on paper fits perfectly with your own All-NBA player (especially if you're not a LA team). Would the trade made them suddenly title contenders? Probably not, but it opens a window where they can see what works and what not and go from there.
Kind of surprised Bruce left Denver for that contract. Denver wasn't willing to offer something like 4 years, 60 fully guaranteed after his contributions to chip run?
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostKind of surprised Bruce left Denver for that contract. Denver wasn't willing to offer something like 4 years, 60 fully guaranteed after his contributions to chip run?they weren't allowed to.
20% raise was the max they were allowed to offer which was like 2y/18m
Teams are limited in what they can offer players on contracts below 3-years. Essentially Bruce Brown signed a 1+1 contract with Denver, but they couldn't offer him more money than other teams since they didn't hold his Bird Rights after he opted out. He would have had to be on the team 3 or more years to get more money from Denver than other teams could offer.
He's going to face the EXACT same scenario again with the Pacers since his contract is only for 2 years.

Why does the NBA want player movement? I thought they wanted teams with homegrown stars?
By n8 dogg Go To PostWhy does the NBA want player movement? I thought they wanted teams with homegrown stars?Bruce Brown is not a homegrown star, though. They want player movement because of all of the superteam consolidation the last 10-15 years. The difference between a Denver championship and say a Philadelphia championship could be the difference of a Bruce Brown type. That leads to more parity.
Raps get a short, speedy guard from NOLA. Can't really say he does much else, unfortunately. Jose and Dyson outplayed him in basically every facet.
Masai didn't get his 9 first round picks. He's getting 2 non-lottery picks for 2024 in what is supposed to be a historically weak draft. Fucking fraud.
Good move for the Pacers.
Good move for the Pacers.

Rough day for GS franchise and Jokic, RIP.
Pacers patting themselves on the back for overpaying Brown, tough to move him (without including more pieces) if he was getting paid nothing. Masai fumbled by not taking the same picks offer from MEM last year. Warriors are kinda stuck now in terms of impact players they can trade for this season, I don't know if any of the Bulls' players move the needle at all.
