Pacers failed to get any help for PG, Butler's team just got worse by trading away Taj Gibson and McDermont, they'll have to hit that reset button soon.

Indiana and Chicago can do whatever they want this summer.

PG13 is an expiring, and Butler is not worth a 2017 BKN Pick if it lands #1 or #2.

And they want that pick + 2 of Brown/Crowder/Smart?? PUH-LEASE.

Yeah it's an option but now it feels slim.

Now I think it's more Fultz/Ball + Griffin/Hayward + Ziziz/Yabusele

The problem is those front offices are now dysfunctional and cannot be considered rational actors.  Their only goals are their jobs and ticket sales, so making the playoffs at the lowest possible salary amount they can is their only goal.  What are they going to get out of being 7 seeds?  They should have traded now.  I trust Danny was trying to get a good deal, but Indy for instance would still be better off taking Bradley + Amir + Yabu + BK 18 instead of another year of disgruntled PG13 who will then leave for nothing at the end of his contract for LA.  Indy will then be in tank status, but at least they won't be competing with one of our Nets picks that year.  What a shame.  Paul George looks really upset with them.
