Just an average Indy sports fan mostly here to talk about the Colts and Pacers. Also seriously into nerdy pop culture stuff.

@HoopsHubNBA I’ve actually been thinking about Bradley Beal for that role. Despite the flaws, he still shoots the ball pretty well. He’s only due about $5M next year, and the Clips would likely give him away for cash considerations.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@YeahYeahOkBro Ideally I’d want somebody more consistent for the role that we would need him to play here, but it would be an OK vet minimum signing.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@HoopsHubNBA Pacer tax from the refs is a real thing. We have the worst whistle in the league. Always have. Just look at how Pascal’s FT attempts per game dropped right after he came here. Guarantee you if Dort came here, all the stuff he gets away with now is going to start getting called.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@the2kmessiah @CharronElliott1 Absolutely. Almost $14M next season is just way too much for a reclamation project.

@Sageof6turtles I mean, they’ve been connected to Trey Murphy. Not that I think it’ll happen, but still, there’s some buzz out there.

@_denisesalcedo How tf do you leave the Midnight Express off this graphic?

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@kumaresh_ms1597 @CultureCrave Had they struck while the iron was hot, and put out a movie not long after season 2, I think they would have had a box office smash on their hands. A lackluster season 3 and too much passage of time killed all their momentum.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@Sageof6turtles To be fair, they don’t even really need to do that much. They’ve already upgraded a starting lineup that proved to be one of the best in the NBA when healthy. Now they just need a couple of bench upgrades, and I think they can absolutely get back to contention in the East.

@AlexGoldenNBA @_Facci Appreciate it!

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@TonyREast Congrats! Looking forward to many more years to come.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@AlexGoldenNBA TMZ is absolute gutter trash.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@Sageof6turtles You really want to put Lu Dort on the team with historically the worst whistle in the league? Pacer tax from the refs is going to have him averaging a career high in fouls and a career low in minutes.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@PacersBTB @AlexGoldenNBA The starting 5 is solid. No moves needed there. But they absolutely need to do something about the bench. A better backup center and a wing scorer, and I think they’re good to go.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@PaincersFan Sorry, but I’m just not a big believer in either Huff or Potter as anything more than a 3rd string depth piece.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@roosterbra812 @TroutyC4 I don’t mean to pee in your Wheaties here, but per 36 numbers make almost any bench player in the NBA look like a borderline All-Star. They are very largely a mirage.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@lulljay24 I’m just numb, man. Like I know I’ll feel differently once next season rolls around, but right now I feel like I don’t even want to watch basketball anymore. This broke something inside me.

[Casey Simpson @cmsimpson82]

@the2kmessiah We’re just so cursed, man. It wasn’t enough to have our worst season in franchise history, now we have to watch our biggest rival win it all.
