    Yet you never posted about it until October 29th, after Oladipo had started playing better than expected. But of course, we're supposed to believe you were on the Pacers' train all along...

    I have to say that was more work than i would have been willing to put out. I love it when someone does. I used to do the work and really blast the negative posters but i just have not put out that much effort in a long time.

    Honestly, I didn't want to blast anyone. I was actually trying to find a post supporting his claim (I'm a bit of a contrarian, and I love an underdog). But hard as I tried, I found nothing. Sometimes you just gotta admit defeat.

    It's Paul George! You didn't say that then, because they were both coming off very bad seasons.

    You actually showed your face after a beating like that? Figured you would lay low and lick wounds for at least a week.

    Sabonis literally showed nothing, and oladipo had been underwhelming in both of his stops. He had potential and i always wanted him, but when you dont use current trends to dictate your whole story, there was reason to believe it wasnt the best trade at the time (blazers and others had compellimg offers).

    Indy may have won the trade, but there was no way to say that back then. Including you. So i would lay off the attacking and realize you had no idea either.

    Bulls just mollywhopped the C's.

    C's are trash. They wont make the playoffs. Overrated.

    GMs have to evaluate, use analytics and scouting to their favor when making a kind of futures exchange.

    Indy's improvement this season with Oladipo and Sabonis says a lot about their success incorporating them to their fullest potential as they expanded the players' roles from what they were last season with the Thunder. Oladipo's usage % increased from 21% to 30% and Sabonis increased from 15% to 21%.

    Again, you evaluate what you think you can get the most out a particular trade whether it's experienced players and/or draft picks. The Pacers took a chance on Oladipo and Sabonis and it's paying off nicely for them so far. Somebody had to believe in that trade in order to pass up other deals on the table.

    Why did Stotts decide all of a sudden that he hates Napier?
