Unless they're dumping Monta, I don't understand the point of Jeff Teague when you trade away your defensive good floor spacer for basically younger Monta Ellis.

Getting an actual PF was probably the only way Indy is gonna keep Paul George around.

Young seems like a good compliment to Turner. I like it, although the max player dream now dies before it was going to die anyways.

As for Teague and Ellis, I assume Ellis is gone or the backup now.

It seems a bit absurd to start planning a campaign to keep someone who's still under contract for 3 more years.

Yeah I'll happily cop to taking a L on him. I think I was right about him pre extension when he was really erratic and didn't look like a legit number one option, but he's gone to another level since then and played up to it. He got a lot more consistent as a jump shooter and really improved as a playmaker. If Hood takes another step forward next year I think he, Heyward, and Hill are going to be really good together

PG likes it here, but it would be foolish not to opt out. If the Pacers continue being cheap and don't improve, then yeah I could see him taking less to move on. I would support him and be real mad.

Do you think he will want to stay after the Pacers threw Hibbert under the bus and then traded him, pissed off West so much he gave up $13m, told George to play PF even if he didn't want to, fired Vogel and replaced him with a coach who's nickname is Sarge and then traded Hill?

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
Young is worth way more than #20 in this draft. I feel like he's constantly undervalued. He's been a solid above average player for his whole career and he just turned 28. Good pickup for the Pacers on value in my opinion. They have added Teague and Young to a team that was decent and didn't give up much in return.

I'm kind of surprised to see people rush to the defense of Ibaka. He just quietly had his worst non-rookie season ever. Depending on what value you can get for him I don't know why you wouldn't at least entertain trade offers.

But in the end, PG didn't play power forward and won't now with Young added. I don't see PG leaving with these additions and I don't think PG gave a poo poo what happened to Hibbert after how he played at the end.
