He was the most consistent pacer and lead team in points and rebounds

Pascal has been healthy through out his career! Plus, I think he'll play and exceed expectations worth the contract.

@kalu8652 22 дня назад

Anyone who doesn't like this deal, go look at some of the 2nd options on championship teams the past few seasons. Jamal Murray, Andrew Wiggins, Khris Middleton... all guys in Siakam's tier (borderline all stars). None of those guys were putting up more than like ~20ppg. The NBA is set up for competitive teams to max 2 guys. If Siakam is good enough to be the #2 on a championship team, then you max him. He literally was the 2nd option on a championship team in Toronto, and although he's older, his game has also been refined since then. The biggest question for the Pacers is if Ty can be that 26/12 guy we all saw earlier this season. That guy, along with Siakam averaging 20+ and a squad of 3&D players can win the championship. Siakam is least questionable part of this roster. There is arguably another level to his game we haven't seen yet, since he'll have an entire offseason to gel. We also haven't seen Ty at his superstar level along with Siakam, Ty has been playing subpar since the day Pascal got here. With Ty at full strength, Pascal is just going to eat even more. Just max him and we keep building.

Great show... Pay #Pascal #Siakam his money.. A mid-season trade and with such a huge impact and not integrated into the team properly due to time constraints, image the ROI with a full off-season... He is a young 30, because he has not been playing basketball long like many NBA players. For example both Scottie Barnes and Tyrese Haliburtion has been playing basketball longer than him, #Pascal #Siakam has less wear and tear... His game wil age beautifully in the long run, and adding 3pt shooting consistency... #WeTheNorth x #BoomBaby

A guard I started to like a lot before he was out with injuries. Was JaVonte Green, but after missing a lot of time to injuries. He sorta fell off and out of the Bulls rotation. He's a phenomenal athlete when healthy and not very known as a player. Very good defender, bit of a streaky shooter.. but when he hits and warms up. He can get it rolling and once he's attacking while locked in on D. He can be great in those minutes he plays. Heard he's also a good teammate and in the locker room as well.. Maybe another SG could be Max Christie?? Just on the chance that he might break out as a 3 and D type. Lakers could end up keeping him around on a cheap contract.. But never know with them. If I was Max I'd want out of LA to play with a team I could get minutes with. Someone to watch and the fact he's so young. He could become an asset to another team if they make a different move.

@alexanderbelmonte9000 18 дней назад

Green is aight, he’s 30 and he’s okay.. Max is 21 and 6’6 and has shown signs of being a baller role guy with a starter ceiling, he’s long too and defends well for being a young dude who’s still developing.

@johncraig4820 22 дня назад

Buchanan and Pritchard both believe a max guy gets a voice in team building considerations. I think the structure of his contract and team building will be a point of discussion.

@chirocket4791 21 день назад

By making the trade giving up assets, they kid of sealed the signing him.

@kyletaylor9557 21 день назад

I’m a little lower on this than you two. Age and the crowding out effect you both mentioned, but I am fundamentally lower on his fit and projection on this team than I think others are. He’s a “big wing” who didn’t guard EITHER of the J’s in the ECF, nor did he take those matchups in the regular season. Instead, the Pacers had him and the takeaway from the playoffs is that the pacers still need a big wing. Big picture I’m much closer to “the pacers are a young team who got unbelievably lucky and aren’t a major threat to return to the ECF” than I am to “run it back and we’ll be back.” That makes the crowding out effect, in both PT and salary, a huge issue for me. I can definitely see a 3yr near max, but I don’t support a 5 year full max. Too many years, too much money, and it risks stunting one of the two pathways to consistent, genuine contention (young player development).

@joshturner2622 21 день назад

Pascal is a MUST signing. I know this would upset some Pacers fan and I’m a hardcore Pacers fan since I grew up watching Reggie Miller. But if there is a way we can trade for PG or Ingram for TJ, Smith and fillers then we have to do it. As a small market team our window is very very very small

@Ben77788 21 день назад

You have to bring him back, especially for how much they already gave up for him. They need to figure out who to add to this team. I still feel they need an enforcer in the middle. Someone who’s extremely aggressive on the boards.

@jackuzzi5251 22 дня назад

Toronto let Siakam go because they'd seen enough to believe he didn't have the "star" game worthy of a max contract leading to a chip. Toronto thinking was why pay a player almost 50mil a year when he couldn't get the job done at 38mil. The more prominent Siakam becomes on a team the less effective both him and the team become.

@_Michael_Scott 22 дня назад

Exactly! Well said!

@kalu8652 22 дня назад

Good thing he's the #2 here and not the #1.

@daledilbeck9621 21 день назад

Wrong! They were rebuilding around Scottie Barnes who they were giving max money to. Hard to be the face of a franchise when you’ve got a guy like P around. Good try tho

@warlockmagic3416 22 дня назад

I get so tired of the bs narrative that we are a "small market' team. So therefore no one would ever wanna sign here. Uhh, well maybe you should make sure you offer that same money to all the other FA's and see who won't take that.. Bet. These player's can go anywhere and do anything later. They're constantly traveling and on the road.. Leave during the summer.. So if it was me personally as a Superstar. If you give me a legitimate chance to win a Championship. I like your team, think I could play a huge role. Be that one other connective piece. I'm going to do that and get my money playing with a fun/great team. Many guy's would take it I'm sure and not everyone is on a big team already..

@warlockmagic3416 22 дня назад

Am I the only person alive that thinks this team would be much better off to go in another direction?? We could sign 3 FA's for that $, or a REAL 🌟.

@daledilbeck9621 21 день назад

I sure hope so because your ideas for the team are trash af

@LockedOnPacers 21 день назад

They can't, because they won't have the same amount of cap space as his contract

@alexanderbelmonte9000 18 дней назад

How do people not understand the reality of the cap and what we have already done basically solidified our position to resign him; all of this was in the narrative too, we gained his Birds and can max out over the cap to resign him. Not to mention the cap is growing and this deal will be great in 2-3 years when we can afford another stud outright. The new TV deal directly effects the cap and those terms aren’t official and I would even be bold to bet that the players association will threaten to strike if the cap doesn’t increase exponentially, instead of gradually.

@warlockmagic3416 22 дня назад

He wasn't that good in Milwaukee. He just shot 3× the shots and still missed a boatload. A lot more then he made.. So I get tired of hearing that.. He's probably never once had a big game with a great % it's always a bad % and he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with his 3. He doesn't move well to the basket and misses the most basic of shots.. smh.. So many other variations of trades/FA's I'd rather have. If Pacers don't make all other "Superstar" FA's an offer. Then we're screwing ourselves and who could be much better with..

@clytnjms 22 дня назад

Who the Hell played in Milwaukee and who the Hell you talking about?

@daledilbeck9621 21 день назад

He’s talking about Siakim because for some reason he would rather have Andre Drummond 😂. He’s trying to say he wasn’t that good against Milwaukee. This guy is beyond help

@jdek88 22 дня назад

I don’t like that pascal is getting older… the next 1-2 years there probably won’t be a ton of regret, but that 3rd year of his contract I could see everyone saying it wasn’t worth it

@warlockmagic3416 22 дня назад

If Pacers don't get him a decent contract that allows us to sign another 15mil player.. Then we're completely screwing ourselves. He's only going to continue to slip, as he already has since 2019. He's a high level role player at best. So I don't get it.. Pacers about to completely wreck our cap for year's. Destroying our best year's of building and development.. all for a guy they aren't even going to want after 2 seasons anyways. Then you won't even be able to trade him because his contract.. No one will want him, unless he's a "Real" Star for that price. I'll be so pissed if the don't sign another FA, when signing Pascal. Or if they don't draft a single SG/SF.. I'd happily let him walk.. I'd say straight up what I think he's worth.. and if he doesn't like it. I'd say go find it somewhere else then. I honestly believe NO ONE would want to sign him for that price.. Or even a slightly high price. Because he's simply just not that good. Full 5 on a Supermax.. 😂 what a JoKe.. smdh. Take Hartenstein away from the Knicks.. Get a real player that's actually really good and even better affordable. With having tons of options to sign other FA's and keep our flexibility. Pascal doesn't do anything except handicap pur team moving forward..

@LockedOnPacers 21 день назад

They can sign a ~15m player and Pascal pretty easily. But they woul dhave to lose Obi. If Siakam is a role player to you but Hartenstein is not, we don't see the game ths same way.

@alexanderbelmonte9000 18 дней назад

Hartenstein over Siakam!? Do you watch basketball?? How has Siakam fell off after winning a championship where he wasn’t even the 2nd option and still avg 19 8 and 4 in the finals?? His best season statistically is 22-23 season.. id love to read an explanation.. cuz the Raptors have been off since winning , but spicy P is consistent if anything.

@_Michael_Scott 22 дня назад

He needs to show his birth certificate before offering him max anything!
