Pacers acquire Thad Young

Looks like you're first, again.

Looks like another reason not to make the effin playoffs against the best regular season team in history...

 

Pacers making moves, I like it.

 

Indiana doing a major overhaul. Looks like they want to change their whole identity from the defensive teams of the past.

 

I was referencing the other Thad young thread posted same min, but obviously after this one, as this was lower on the page. But I'll take the Stuffed Monkey please.

 

Lot to give up for Thad Young, who hasn't done a ton in the past couple years.

 

I think he'll be pretty good sandwiched between Turner and George at the 4. A guy that can rebound and score without any plays called for him is valuable for a team with George and Ellis.

 

I like it for BKN I don't like it for Indy.
Indy yet again sells off their picks for vets. They dont' have many rookie contracts and young players.

And BKN seems with their new GM is ready to rebuild. Good for them.

The most important thing is that it signifies that Brolo is probably available as well.

 

I actually think he improved his game these past few years but yeah, it's just an ok move, the Pacers know they're not signing great players in free agency, and they need to stay in the playoff since Geroge can opt out in a couple of years. Also they don't have good assets so that's probably the best they can do.

 

don't consider the 20th pick in one of the weakest drafts in recent memory giving up a lot for a starting pf

 

I've always liked Thad Young. Felt sorry for him during his time with Philly

 

Whether they're good or not, they are going to be near the top in the league in fastbreak finishes.

 

I used to think that he was a tad young, but he's definitely grown into a nice veteran presence now.

 

Good Trade. They probably trying to move Monta now..

Nets should try to move Lopez too.. he's no use if they are going to rebuild. Perhaps to Celtics?

 

EAST showing signs of life. Indiana, Celtics, Knicks, Bucks should all be well improved but i doubt there is anything they can do to challenge the Cavs by next year.

Getting rid of Lawson should also make them significantly better.

 

Celtics are loving this. They get to swap picks with the Nets and have their pick in 18 as well. God damn Billy was dumb.
