@the2kmessiah Would you rather have the #5 pick and not have a center?
Would you rather not tank and get pick 9?
Does Acuff actually help this window?
Pissed we lost top 4. Don’t care about losing pick 5. Rolled dice. Is what it is.
@PacersStatsMuse Because we’re a well run organization that isn’t perennially in the lottery without a slim chance. How many times have they had an actual top 4 chance? Mathurin. This year…?
Not having a top 4 pick is a good thing. Frustrating is others seem to have one bad year (BOS, GSW, DAL)
@NbaWoody A top 4 pick extends this window another 5-7 years. Now it’s 2-3 then back to middle of pack. Bad luck, but man - we were due some shit luck after some of those crazy finishes (yes I know Hali’s Achilles sucked).
@the2kmessiah People are conflating their disappointment for losing a top 4 pick for being a bad trade. It was a gamble, they lost, good chance that 2031 pick is a lottery pick with current window and assets.

And you’ve got a steady job/career and a roof over your head.
And a great wife.
