Pacers are gonna be stuck with PG until the trade deadline. And I think most Pacer fans are not going to like him because they'll be like "durr he's greedy" and all that. If he's not traded before the season starts, it'll be ugly.

Yeah. I just want this over with already. I guess I can just focus on my new team, the Sixers. Look out for the FEDS!

Why did the Spurs pick up another point guard? They have no tall people!

The Celtics REALLY need to get rid of Jae Crowder so I can't see Danny breaking off talks completely, I think he may wait until free agency to see where Hayward's head is though

Can't Indiana offer him a ridiculous amount of money compared to other teams if he makes All-NBA this season? Wouldn't that give Indiana some leverage in keeping him?

It's a $75 million difference. I understand wanting to play in LA but that's a fuckton of guaranteed money.

They could give him the supermax if that happened. They can still offer more money than any other team without that, but he wants to play for LA. The supermax might keep him because that's an insane amount of money to turn down, but if he doesn't make the All-NBA, then he's gone and the Pacers will have received nothing.

So they have to trade him now, or risk getting nothing when he leaves at the end of the year.
