Call me crazy, but I like our guys

Pacers roster next season — (projected % of the cap)

Tyrese Haliburton — (29.5%)
Andrew Nembhard — (11.8%)
Aaron Nesmith — (6.6%)
Pascal Siakam — (29.5%)
Ivica Zubac — (12.3%)

Obi Toppin — (9.0%)
TJ McConnell — (6.6%)
Jarace Walker — (5.1%)
Ben Sheppard — (3.0%)
Jay Huff — (1.6%)
Johnny Furphy — (1.4%)

Currently projected to have a 52.1% chance to have a top 4 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft which would land them one of Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, AJ Dybantsa or Caleb Wilson

If the pick does convey to LAC this year, Indiana would then have 3 tradeable 1sts this offseason (2027, 2031, 2033)

By the start of next season, Haliburton will have had ~16 full months of rehab time from his injury

Genuinely one of the best positioned teams in the league now

“And who is this James Boyd? Like honest to God, this is the Sportswriter of the Year?”

Yes, that is me.

Please let me know when you receive the same honor or any honor for that matter, @dandakich. I’m not holding my breath, though, since there’s no Hall of Fame for racists.
