No thank you

I watch other games besides the Pacers but just don't watch all the game because to me it is unwatchable for me to watch a whole NBA game. I just don't agree with the rule and to me it is not dirty to get into someone space when shooting. It might be illegal In the NBA game but there are a lot of rules in the NBA that I don't agree with and is not anywhere near what basketball rules were meant to be.

I guess your definition of dirty is way different than mine because to me that play is not a dirty play

Because he missed the year does not make it a dirty play

Especially with the Pacers owner not willing to go over the luxury tax.

When I played if a guy was going in for a layup and I couldn't get back to take a charge I would run underneath him once he started to go up for the layup. I would never touch him but I would do it to get him looking at something besides the basket but some on here probably thinks that is dirty as well. I just think today people are way to soft and thinks anything that that is a little suspect is dirty.

I am sorry but anyone who really thinks all of those plays are really dirty does not know what dirty means. I don't think it is dirty to get into someone space when they are shooting but this is what a dirty play looks like

You mean in 2045?

From my understanding that this is for harder drugs than just marijuana.

Again no one would have made a trade for Evans this year and the rest of the free agents on this team.

He was a free agent so it is no big deal

I am not stat guy and I go by what I have seen of those players and to me Tatum and Brown are far better players. Remember in the NBA someone has to score points even on a bad team and beside Labron they had nothing else so they was able to score but it did not help them win games. I am just going by if I were in charge of New Orleans I would want the players from Boston over the LA guys.

Why do you think Kuzman and Ingram is better than Brown and Tatum because nothing I have seen would put them even close to being the same.

I actually think Boston could give the best package of players for AD

I would say if I have time I could put out a list of a lot of players who mounted to nothing in the back part of the first round and second rounds as well. Like I said the draft is a crap shoot and if you don't have a top 10 or even top 5 pick you will have to get lucky that a player will develop into a great player. To me you can't build a championship team by picking in the 20's every year and don't see why teams would trade out of the top 10 to get more low picks

Where we disagree is that I don't think a trade even with Thad in it would produce much of anything. I rather make trades like the one where we got Thad and that was to give up #20 in the draft to get him.. For teams like the Pacers to every be a contender they have be able to get a top 3 pick by sucking for a few years like Philly did. Trading the players you mentioned would never get you a top 3 pick so all you are doing is trading a descent player for another one but younger.

Rather kept them and made the run this year because having multiple second round picks doe snot help out at all. Like I said after the top 5 or 10 picks it is a crap shoot in the NBA draft.

The other teams are not stupid or at least most aren't so what would you think you could have gotten Collision, Joseph, O'Quinn or Evans.

Actually I wouldn't trade players for draft picks unless if it is a top 5 pick. It seems like in the NBA draft once you get out of the top 10 there is not that many difference makers so I would trade draft picks for proven commodities Also Bojan and Thad is the only one I would bring back and Bojan is probably going to get a big payday so it will be hard to bring him back..

Probably would but the 4th pick is not enough plus what Turner makes it would be hard to match salaries when making a trade.

I wouldn't mind trading him but really there is not great layers after the first couple of players in this draft. Put Ingram and the 4th pick then I would lsiten

On the way to work I was listening to 1070am and they were talking about one mock draft and they had the Pacers drafting Romeo at 18. In this mock they had San Antonio at 19 picking Carsen Edwards.

I looked at some mock drafts and this draft seems pretty weak after the first 5 picks. I saw one having Jaxon Hayes from Texas at 10 and if that is the case this draft is terrible.

I guess I was wrong about the NBA lottery conspiracy theory when I said that the Knicks or Lakers would get the #1 pick. for a little bit it kind of appeared that I might be right when it got down tot he final 4 teams.

To me if Jordan would have played with the rules today would score 45 points a game
