J Michael on JMV saying no one on Vic’s side has responded to what J Michael reported this morning.

Turner and Hayward per sources on Twitter being discussed for a trade according to league sources. Other players and or picks will be involved

Some more info: 🍿 in hand, 🍺 waiting for me after work.

CTC on Dan Dakich asked Vic about the recent comments that were released by J Michael today and and Vic told CTM that he never said them. So two people have defended Vic, CTC and his twin sister. Hmm Myles and Vic’s twin sister going at each other on Twitter

This is Vic’s sister on Twitter, something fishy going on:

was it confirmed that it was PG or where they making an assumption? I am unable to listen to JMV at the moment

Romeo would not have ended up at UK even if the issues in Egypt with Cal didn’t happen. It would have been between UofL and IU had UofL not messed up. Very close friend of mine is close to Romeos father(still stays in contact with his dad even after entering the NBA) and lives down the road from his parents. We weren’t in the catbird seat due to other programs failing whether that be cause coach Cal has a big ego or UofL paying for some ladies to wow their recruits. We were where we were cause of the time and effort that IU put forth.

Yeah I saw this too. A 3rd team would be a must for this to happen

Danny Manning being considered for an assistant spot for the Pacers. Has ties to Pritchard(played together at Kansas).

Interesting that this was proposed by the fansided group for the warriors writer but Myles for #2 pick overall, Jordan Poole and Eric Paschall. Now i would put this at about a 98% chance that it doesn't happen but you do this all day if you are Indy. #2 pick will be impactful right away, Paschall can be a great role player and still getting better and Poole is bench depth. Wiseman would be interesting since you would basically be flipping a center for a center, Anthony Edwards if he doesnt go #1 and Deni Avdija wing

Dan Burke to Philly as an assistant

1.) Makes sense wanting a longer term deal, especially given the fact of his recent major injury. Prioritize money spread over a few years then risking making $30 mil this year and getting injured and getting much lower money in years 2/3/4. I truly think he'll end up in Indy. Only was he comes to Indy is if one of Myles or Vic gets traded. 2.) Pacers will have to take a big gamble here with Vic. Hope he returns to form is their best shot, then you can reassess trade value or if you want to give him $30 mil. I think the first option is best given the fact that Indy is a small market team. 3.) Myles will net you a 1st rd return easily, Vic maybe so make sense that they do their due diligence. 4.) If the draft starts Nov 18th and teams open training camp say Dec 1st, they better get on their horses for assistants. When does free agency start, day after the draft or the following Monday?

lol okay

Marginal starter? Myles would start on the Celtics over Theis or Williams. Myles is def an upgrade over anyone the Celtics have on their current roster or could bring in via FA given their cap space. He would improve both their offense and defense. Williams is up and coming but he's still very raw.

Since I keep seeing more and more about Hayward to Indy being a possibility, what about this? Turner/Doug/Lamb for Hayward 14th and 26th pick? - Turner is the main guy for this deal, McDermott cap filler and offers a bit of floor spacing, Lamb is an above average player and cap filler - Hayward is a nice fit next to Warren and can be interchangeable with him. 6.7 rebounds per game this past year, which is more than Turner. 14th & 26th pick give us 2 chances at having a little swing at some young talent to hopefully turn into something or can package together to a team that may want to trade down. Starters: Brogdon/Vic/Hayward/Warren/Sabonis Bench: Aaron/TJ or Sumner/resign Justin Holiday/14th draft pick or vet FA and Leaf/Goga and 26th pick and Alize Johnson at end of the bench

Chaminade 2022 PF Tarris Reed Jr picked up an offer yesterday. 6'10" PF from Chaminade HS in St. Louis. 4-star rating according to 24/7 sports

DK Metcalf is a beast. He looked like a cheetah chasing down a gazelle after the INT lol He was easily 10 yards behind Budda Baker at the time of the INT.

Ian Bagley today reported that sources are saying Pacers are interested in bringing Gordon Hayward to Indiana. Yes he will always be linked to Indiana cause of Butler and he lives here but I feel like this rumor will never go away.

FVV(Fred VanVleet) is a free agent and speaks very highly of the new Pacers coach. IF and IF Oladipo gets moved, you could make a splash for FVV and play FVV and Brogdon at the 1/2.

That was my biggest issue with McMillian was A.) he wouldn't develop talent(Aaron was forced to contribute due to injuries and being thrown into live action) and B.) he wouldn't make a change when it was needed.

Agree. I think you see Aaron improve some more, Goga improves and Leaf improve to some extent.

Nice spelling! lol If he can develop Aaron Holiday a little more and develop Goga I think this team can be top 4 and win more than 1 series in the playoffs. He's big into player development, an area that the former Nate struggled at mightily.

So far Nate is saying the right things in his welcome conference this morning. Main highlights are: - Offensive style will be disruptive, lots of movement. Different guys handling the ball. - Pritchard receiving lots of texts and calls about this being a great hire - No set rotation, each game dictates a rotation. Won't be afraid to enter "said" player into any game. Wants each player to believe he can enter any game - Believes talent and IQ of the team is very good - The two bigs are very dynamic, compliment each other very well. Feels very comfortable having two bigs - On Oladipo; He texted me(coach) immediately after I was hired and I called him. It was very welcoming, we had a great talk, I like Vics energy, our energy fed off of each other. Note from Pritchard on Vic: - Vic and I(Pritchard) have a great relationship, Vic feels good about the team. He's talked to me about how he thinks this team can be very good. You hear alot of things, but until it comes to me I don't really worry about what is being talked about. He(Pritchard) pointed out Vic still has 1 year left on his deal -Pritchard had a team zoom call yesterday and said Vic spoke up and was positive as he has ever seen Vic. - Vic is full out cleared health wise.

Thank you! We are very excited, she will be even more outnumbered in the house with the second one lol
