He may turn out to be a good player but isn't he playing the same position as Ingram, the guy on whom they have the biggest hopes?

Log jam of young forwards, with Randle and Nance also in the mix.

That Jackson tweet was referencing a boxer, but he took it down because people were confusing it with Markelle.

In other news, amazing trade by Danny. Fultz is overhyped beyond galore. DSJ, JJ and Tatum are all solid picks for the C's.

And next year's draft is gonna be...

If Ball is there at 4, i think Phoenix keeps it.

Hope he'll have a chip on his shoulder and get back at LA for passing om him.

Would rather trade the pick to Sac and give them our Miami pick nexr year for #10

I would love for Ball to end up in Sacramento just to hear his old man rag on the way the Kings are run for the foreseeable future.

Man I really like Fultz I think Fultz is the clear cut player in this draft but the 1st four are still really good players so idk when it comes to Ainge you gotta trust his decision especially on trades his track record there is pretty decent.

I will say I believe the overcrowded backcourt tweet is false. it just screams like the Rozier is untouchable stuff.

I really hope this is part to get Jimmy though because you like Jackson so much and you pick up an extra pick doesn't sound as fun.

That would be some great stuff LOL! Honestly, a fall for Ball would do him some good and reset his priorities. I read somewhere after his workout with the Lakers that he was looking rather out of shape.

Obvious belief from past couple seasons. Pacers put themselves in this predicament. They can't just let him walk away without getting something in return, but they left themselves with very little leverage. With him not making All-NBA, they can't offer him a 5yr-207mill now can only offer 5yr-177mill. The direction of team isn't heading up and very unlikely they can get another star to go to Indiana. They would have been better off trading him last year before Deadline. Now teams are unlikely to trade away future assets for a player who may leave in FA.
