Did Larry Bird Screw Up At The Deadline?

Evan Turner is awful, anyone who thought otherwise was just watching the box scores.

 

Ready to crown 'em after their hot start.
Then really ready to crown 'em after they signed Bynum.
Then really really ready to crown 'em after they traded for Turner.

But seriously...

They'll be fine. They're still in the mix.

Did you know: Did you know that Miami, OKC, and Indiana have lost a combined nine in a row?

They'll all be fine.

 

Pacers issues started much earlier, before the Bynum addition even.

Turner is nothing special, but I think that deal was in large part about saving cash in the first place. They got some 4 mil out of it. Besides, Granger wasn't giving much.

I think they'll get better soon. This is a very congested schedule stretch, and George is injured.

But will they get back to their November/December form, who knows.

 

Hard to believe that Granger was the key considering he wasn't playing well.

 

Yes, I was surprised they would give up on Granger.

 

I read somewhere that the Pacers could be missing Granger's lockerroom presence, not so much what he brought to the floor. I have no idea.

 

Granger for Evan Turner was stoopid. They need a stats guy. Hell, several people on this very forum could have told him that Turner's stats were bloated due to pace and opportunity and even still they weren't very impressive when you really looked at them more intently.

 

I voted yes, but I don't really know.

I think it begins and ends with Paul George. His numbers have gone back to where they always have been (just more shots, so a higher PPG).

Paul George is so important for their offense, and I don't think he is good enough to carry an offense. His defense is GREAT, but they need him a lot more on offense.

 

Teams slump. It happens. No need to go all ESPN overblown drama on that ass.

 

No because Granger is just as bad but older and with bad knees.

 

Granger wasn't giving them much and was about to leave in the summer. However bad Turner supposedly is, he's worth more than a late second-round pick. I don't see how it's possible to conceive that Bird lost that trade.

 

Bynum is just poison

 

No...I think it was a pretty even trade and not the reason why they are slumping.

They played pretty well when Granger was injured...

 

It's called playing on the road against quality western conference teams. No team goes through the Texas rodeo unscathed.

 

I think the Heat did it in 2012 and the Celtics in 08

 

i voted no.

Lary Bird cant do anything wrong
(and yup i fully admit i'm not the most objective hen it come to the legend )

 

Chemistry is a funny thing.

Imagine us trading Parsons for Rondo? No way we have this run if that trade happens. Sometimes you just have to not mess with stuff.

 

It's the regular season, it doesn't matter. Miami has proven this time and time again.
