I would gladly take Jalen Smith back if we could get in on that somehow
His offense has been nice but his defense, much like a lot of the Pacers, has been atrocious. Pacers have a lot of PF's that are going to want to play. Toppin will now come off the bench. Smith probably won't see much PT now and they weren't even trying to play their lottery pick Jerace Walker. Now he won't even see anything more than garbage mins the rest of the season.

Do the Pacers need to include more salary? Brown is at $22mil and Nwora is like $3mil while Siakam makes $37mil.

So this is crazy...one of the Ws assistants fell ill at a team dinner last night and was hospitalized. Earlier today the league postponed tonight's Warriors-Jazz game and it was just announced that he passed away

That's horrible. Only 46. Having gone through a heart attack myself, I'm even more grateful for my quick recovery and cognizant of how fragile this life can be.

I like Toppin but I don't know that he fits what we need right now unless we really lean into the offensive side of things, going smaller and playing fast.

Little is shooting 32% from 3…you think the 10% difference is Haliburton?

And it’s far and away better than Little. You asked what he does that Little doesn’t…this year it’s make 3s.

And before Toppin played with Haliburton, Little was better.

Well no point in discussing if you think Toppin’s improvements are fake
