King T- I'm not a prisoner of the moment. The fact is they are in a better situation right now today than we are.

I hope and pray that we get Anthony Davis, that way we can really build something and all this 8 years of suckage can finally start to come to an end.

I don't lack patience or I would have jumped on the Miami Heat bandwagon like everyone else last offseason.

I've paid the price of suffering through this terrible product for 8 seasons, it's not wrong to wish we we're in a better situation.

King T-

Simple question.

Would you trade every player and contract the Bobcats have currently for every player and contract the Pacers have currently?

Right now, Today... the Pacers roster is better than any team we have ever built and their cap situation is among the best in the entire NBA.

The Pacers had the 5th best record in the NBA and have only 34 million in committed Salaries for next season

The Bobcats have the worst record in the History of the NBA and have 43 million in Salaries for next season...

What position do the Bobcats have an advantage over the player that Indiana has at that position?

Why is it wrong to wish that our team had the 5th best record and a better cap situation?

Do you really want us to suck and have no cap space?

You're oversimplifying the Pacer's current situation. Indy has some nice young players and considering where the team has been drafting they have done a fantastic job building a competitive team.

But realistically they are going to have a very difficult time improving the team from here. You are correct, the Pacers do have cap space, but that is mainly because their young players are still on rookie contracts. Hibbert and George Hill are both coming off them this summer, and Hibbert especially is in line for a big payday. The Pacers are going to have a very tough time keeping this group together because everyone in their lineup is talented enough to get a sizable raise after their rookie contract, and they dont have a superstar to help save them money.

Thats not to say the Pacers have a bleak future, but as the team is built right now they will have a tough time ever making it to the finals. Sure, I would trade their roster right now for the Bobcat's roster, but I dont want the Bobcats to build the team in the Pacer's image

"I can't believe my team went soft," (Larry) Bird told the Indianapolis Star late Tuesday. "S-O-F-T. I'm disappointed. I never thought it would happen."

Keep your head high Larry, there's some people here in Charlotte that want us to be just like em.

Oh come on KT. I know you remember the 1984 NBA Finals Lakers vs Celtics. This is when Bird accused his own team of going soft. The following game you had the infamous Kevin McHale clothesline job on Kurt Rambis:

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
