Guessing/hoping Simon has assured Pritchard he will pay tax, if not signing TJ means losing Turner was bad move

[geraldmeehan]

Herb Simon can afford luxury tax look at the bank he is making from Caitlin and Fever

[cryptic_conman]

It's time for Herb to open up the coffers. The window to win a chip is over the next 3 or 4 years. We have the talent and imo are either incredible development or one more piece away from true contention. I've been a Pacers fan for life and haven't been this hype for a season since 2013 or maybe even 2004. GO INDY!!!

Herb Simon killing it with the Fever. Almost 17k per game. Defray some of the profits with the Fever to cover the luxury tax for the Pacers.

[bball]

We need to trade our firsts now. Way too much depth to keep taking firsts every year. Resign turner and backload it. There is going to be a consolidation trade at the deadline and they need to be aggressive this season and be serious about championship contending in 2-3 years.

[jessehobbs]

Man Obi toppin is a good player love watching him on the pacers but if we get what everybody Is hoping for is that jarace walker goes on another level and takes a big leap then we trade Obi toppin to pay Myles turner off then we will be good👀👀😂😂🔥🔥💯💯

[robroyin]

Imo, Nembhard is the player that has a significant rise of interest around the league and most value of the bench players. Mathurin and Walker are talent that are 22 or younger and have value ti team, but not as much yet to rest of league. Nembhard is never going to be starting pg unless Hali goes down, but that is why the front office just extended TJ! So I think the best bang for buck IF you don’t pay L tax, is to work a deal, maybe with SA, to trade Nembhard for future talent.

[babycakes]

Obvious, Hailuburton durability issues yet, pacers passed available unrestricted younger PGs earlier.

[mikectx]

The comments about killing it from the Fever are laughable. Yall understand no womens franchise has EVER been profitable. And just because she's might make the fever the 1rst don't fool yourself into.thinking that means it's enough to cover the Pacers cap

[davids]

Gotta find a way. Myles a Pacer for life.
