You know Myles Turner is important to the Indiana Pacers’ future. You know he’s already an offensive monster, with a work-in-progress defensive repertoire that, even now, includes flashes of high-end switching and solid rim protection. You know that he’s oft-mentioned in the same breath as some of the NBA’s other top unicorns. But did you [...]

Trevor Booker never really fit as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. As the asset returned in the Jahlil Okafor trade with the Brooklyn Nets in December, Booker’s hustle play and inconsistency at being able to stretch the floor at the four position made him a poor fit for a team who already has a [...]

More than six months after trading Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Indiana Pacers are, relative to expectations, sitting rather pretty. They have a firm hold on an Eastern Conference playoff spot, plenty of salary-cap flexibility and, ostensibly, three legitimate building blocks in All-Star Victor Oladipo, Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. It seems [...]

In a situation that we don’t see occur very often for an indoor sport, the Pacers-Pelicans game in New Orleans was cancelled Wednesday night because of a rain delay of sorts. The Smoothie King Center roof was leaking and arena crew were unable to keep the floor dry for a few hours, which led to [...]

Victor Oladipo would like for us to maybe, quite possibly, if we could, stop talking about the winners and losers of the trade that sent him from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Paul George. Speaking candidly, there’s about zero chance of that happening—especially now. Oladipo and and George are [...]

We no longer need to wonder whether the Indiana Pacers are placing stock in Victor Oladipo’s hot start. They are. Here’s what head coach Nate McMillan, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner all had to say on the matter, per the Indianapolis Star‘s Gregg Doyel: Said Pacers coach Nate McMillan: “No, I think this can be Victor. [...]

Paul George isn’t sorry he’s with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is, however, sorry for how things ended with the Indiana Pacers. As he told Clifton Brown of the Indianapolis Star in Oklahoma City this week: “First and foremost, I want to give thanks to Indiana as a state, for embracing me and my family for seven [...]

Collusion and tampering seem to be a common occurrence in today’s NBA as players and opposing teams have secret conversations and let their intentions be known far before the July free agency period begins (think about how it is possible for a contract to be agreed to right at midnight on July 1), one of [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers introduced new general manager Koby Altman on Wednesday during a press conference led by owner Dan Gilbert. While both of them for the most part deflected questions about Kyrie Irving, Gilbert was more blunt when it came to (unsolicitedly) commenting on what the Indiana Pacers received in return for Paul George. Per [...]

According to one of Adrian Wojnarowski’s many sources before trading Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder a few weeks ago, the Pacers reached out to the Golden State Warriors and offered George for Klay Thompson.
