The Indiana
Pacers have decided to punt for next year, which has been made clear after the
move to pickup Blake Griffin. The team
had the opportunity to pickup CJ McCollum, who has been a favorite of GM
Spudspace for years, so the front office was ecstatic to be able to get
him. This leads to the question of what
to do about the backcourt, with two undersized shooting guards that both want
the ball a lot. Oladipo has been playing
on a minutes restriction as he eases back into playing shape. The team is basically just managing minutes
and injuries at this point of the season.
Knowing we won’t make the playoffs, it’s all about next year.
Marvin Bagley, who is our best center, is also ruled out for a few weeks, and
with Blake Griffin and Cody Zeller injured, the team has had to resort to some
small-ball lineups. So far it has had
mixed success, with some wins against New York and Milwaukee, but for the most
part, it has been difficult to play without a big man.
The team has
had a few offers from some different teams for players, including Oladipo, and Hunter,
but nothing has come up that made sense to make a move right now. With the team looking for next year, there is
no urgency to trade anyone, we need to see what the team looks like fully healthy
with Blake and Victor and CJ and Marvin all together.
The biggest acquisition
of late seems to be Malik Beasley, who has blossomed into a pretty good NBA
player when given the chance to get some minutes. Since being traded to the Timberwolves in the
NBA, he’s averaged 22 ppg! The team
hopes this continues as his contract negotiations are up this summer, and we
would love to keep him. Hopefully he
doesn’t price himself out of our payroll though.
