I understand there are a lot of frustrated fans, but man, the last 24 hours have really showed me how elite our fan base is as a whole. The absolute best in the NBA. Thank you guys for everything. I’m so excited for next season!!!
@timeburns1 For sure, the trade to even get this pick back (from the Siakam trade) was likely their strategy to resign Myles and preserve optionality cap wise this upcoming season after that move.
Crazy how for years Zubac was universally known as under-rated and on one of the best contracts in the NBA.
Then, the Pacers lose pick 5 and folks say it's the worst trade of all-time (LMAO) and rag on Zu. I can't wait for him to dominate next season #YesCers
People acting like the Pacers dropped to 5 BECAUSE of the Zubac trade.completely unrelated events
They’re also using the top 4 prospects to hype up the 5th pick
Pacers didn’t trade DP/AJD/CB/CW. They traded the 5th. The same 5th that fans would’ve raged bout dropping w no trade
i’m still not mad at the trade at the end of the day because i think Zubac is going to be way better for us than most people think & Mathurin probably wasn’t going to be on the team next year
but man this just sucks. this was potentially our best opportunity to extend our window by another 10+ years by making the right pick. just a gut punch. we’ll be alright though, next season gonna make up for all of this
The casuals never fail to expose themselves when it comes to discussions about the Pacers. The takes I've seen today are wild lol
I would do the Zubac trade 100 times over. Felt that way when the trade happened. Still feel that way now
Losing out on the chance to draft top 4 is of course very frustrating.
It would be even more frustrating if you weren’t able to turn the 5-7 pick into a near All-NBA center on one of the best contracts in the NBA.
Especially when those 5-7 are likely to be PGs.
There are a lot of dumb takes about the Zubac trade now. I would've traded Mathurin, Acuff/Wagler and whatever late round pick goes in 2029 for Zubac.
A healthy Pacers team is a EC favorite next year.
Most of you have never watched Zubac play.
