@bmcglothlin10 @NbaWoody If Pacers had gotten the #1 pick in the draft, that woulda been a guaranteed $13M next year. They could scrape up another $7M, and Mathurin would be worth it (a top 4 pick woulda likely been the main 2nd unit scorer but Pacers didn't get 1, so why not Mathurin again?).

@TruthMa08903007 @NbaWoody No they don't have the money... Where is that 20mil coming from?

@outletpassing Winning follows Cam Boozer like a shadow and he dominates at every level he's played.
Strong as a bull, agile, elite low-post scorer who also is a damn good 3-point shooter.
He's a way better athlete than NBA superstars Jikic and Doncic.
He'll be a great NBA player.
English

The conversation around Boozer is annoying because he is an elite *endurance* athlete but most peoples' perception of athleticism is run-and-jump explosiveness. Boozer carries a 99th percentile offensive load at 6'9 250lbs and plays 38+ minutes like it's nothing. That's insane.

Cam Boozer may not be the most vertically explosive, but his first step, balance, strength, & movement efficiency are excellent. Can shoot, has elite feel, touch, & decision making, a winner at every level, and all-time great advanced metrics. Superstar.
English

@iam_johnw Boozer's time in this drill was faster than Caleb Wilson's.
The problem is folks mistake Cam's smooth movements as being slow movements.
No one is saying a word about Wilson's performance in this drill being a red flag. Yet he was slower doing it than Cam. Asinine.

An nba gm will be fired in 5 years for drafting cam boozer with a top 3 pick

@AKRileyy5 @SuspendedOhtanl I'll never understand how Tyrese can consistently shoot the ball straight with his left thumb flick (yet he does). But it does seem to give his shot a power boost, as it looks effortless when he's taking 35-footers & is barely using his legs.
English

Half these shots were step logo 3s, bro the Pacers legitimately did some devil ritual last year

@Sam_Vecenie The whole "Boozer's lack of athleticism won't translate" line is idiotic.
He dominates at every level and winning follows him around like a shadow.
He's so skilled and smooth that it just LOOKS like he's not moving quickly or in any special sorta way.
English

I think what you see here is basically why Boozer was a better defender on the court this year than Wilson. Boozer's efficiency of movement is much better and Wilson's way stiffer laterally than people seem to want to talk about due to how explosive he is in straight lines.

@AlexGoldenNBA Kevin Pritchard gave the best Pacers PR response, but the real acknowledgement should be:
We took too big a risk with this trade because we could only win it if we got a 1-4 pick, and since we didn't, we WAY overpaid for Zubac and clearly lost the trade.
English

I think this is the correct reaction to the NBA Draft Lottery results
Adam Auslund@followAdamA
L Frank won the negotiation in the Zu trade. Indiana is gonna be just fine though. Think Zu is going to feast in front courts in the East.
English

@Tom18369195 @ayayayvio @esidery It's way too early to say the 2029 FR pick will be a dud. That class could be just as stacked as this year's--and headlined by guys who are currently juniors in HS.
English

@TruthMa08903007 @ayayayvio @esidery Mathurin was gone anyway! And 2029 is gonna be a dud of a FR pick. We basically traded Acuff for Zu. We need to fill out our second unit but we were going to have to do that anyway.
English

@bobobaggins13 @WrubleBacon @TheDestinAdams No shit Sherlock. My point is that the only way the Pacers could win the Zubac trade is if they had ended up with a top 4 pick.
English

@TruthMa08903007 @WrubleBacon @TheDestinAdams We don’t get top 4 regardless of trade. Top 4 was only part of the equation if silver said so. He was never going to let it happen
English

@ayayayvio @esidery Pacers gave up much more than just the 5th pick for Zubac.
They also gave up Mathurin, a 2029 1st round pick & a 2028 2nd rounder.
Folks saying the Pacers still didn't lose the trade are delusional. Had to get & keep a top 4 pick for the trade to be a winner.
English

@WrubleBacon @TheDestinAdams The Pacers gave a lot up for Zubac beyond next year's 1st round pick.
So this isn't a "could we have drafted someone better than Zubac w/the 5 pick?" question when evaluating who won the trade.
Pacers clearly lost the trade by not getting a top 4 pick.
English

@TruthMa08903007 @TheDestinAdams The trade had nothing to do with not getting a top 4 pick? what is your point
English

@mnewmanls @Jjoeyj83 @threescorethor @esidery @Hali may not be as explosive as he was (though he might--the younger, the better, w/Achilles tears), but he'll keep getting more crafty every year just like he always has. So I expect he'll end up better overall than he was in 2025 (if not next year, then the following year).
English

@Jjoeyj83 @threescorethor @TruthMa08903007 @esidery What's his ceiling now... post surgery. If you say same as he ever was, that's not a serious response.
English

@CodifyBaseball Doc Gooden was so damn, well, good.
Too bad his battles with drug addiction prevented him from being a GOAT-level pitcher.
English

@GoodmanHoops You can't have a top 5 most likeable list that excludes Tyrese Haliburton.
He's #1 & it ain't close. A smaller Magic Johnson who can shoot.
@Hali makes watching the game more fun whether you're rooting for or against him, as he loves the Heel role.

@Jjoeyj83 @threescorethor @mnewmanls @esidery Hali haters both don't understand @Hali's numbers (e.g., all the points & assists & so few turnover), & they don't appreciate that he's a freaking entertainer and artist.
English

@threescorethor @mnewmanls @TruthMa08903007 @esidery You guys don’t really understand numbers do you? Do you understand how many points Hali contributes to with the amount of assists + 0 turnover games he has? He has the most 20+ points and 10+ assists with 0 turnover games in NBA history.
