With an open roster spot and a larger contingent of NBA players being trade eligible in the next week, the Pacers best chance for experience and stability in the frontcourt is to swing a deal.
Nobody ever discussed the player/coach James Johnson's roster spot. I get he's valuable so cut him then hire him behind the bench. Then we'd have 2 spots and more financial freedom. And he can still stop fights. We need the second coming of Dennis Rodman to help this team rebound.
You can't fast break if no one gets the rebounds, we need everyone to crash the boards to get the ball before we head down Court.
I keep laughing when I read, “the Pacers need a backup C.” No, they already have one of those in their starting lineup. They need a long-term upgrade at the C position (more rebounding, more toughness, more physicality, less rainbow 3’s, less chasing the ball on defense to attempt a blocked-shot stat while leaving someone capable wide open at the rim) AND in the short term they need to find that player’s backup.
