    Well obviously no, because there isn't an unsubstantiated media report now that we're pursuing him (despite the CBA regulations that would preclude just about any attempt for the Blazers to acquire him at the moment).

    He never seems to actually improve the team though.

    I mean, excluding his rookie year, the Pacers are 25 games over .500 when he plays and 14 games under when he doesn't, but I'm sure that doesn't mean much...

    I was talking about Balmer. He said Balmer will do anything to improve the team. So I said he never actually improves the team.

    Heheh...I just saw the compressed portion of the quoted post relating to Myles Turner. My mistake; I completely agree with your actual point.

    Carry on good sir.

    What the Kangs did to the Nets should not be seen by young children.

    Utah takes another L to the Knicks at home. Looks like they might be starting to come back down to earth.

    I’m not convinced they’ll make the play-in.

    Yep. Amazing. And OKC and Minnesota, while trash, aren’t horrible.

    In a heartbeat. Myles Turner would be everything we'd need. I don't think it's a deal that the Pacers would do but maybe we get a third team involved and trade Ant as well (this dude is not the right fit next to Dame and we probably just drafted the perfect replacement).

    They want to have the worst record in the league and Ainge has shown that he can be shameless in that pursuit.

    What team? The Pacers have had him around Sabonis forever and now have no real team around him and have him thinking he could be shipped off at any moment. The fact is that the guy is extremely mobile on both ends for his size, protects the rim, can shoot the three and finish strong at in the paint. What more do we need?

    We've got the guys who win games (Dame, Grant, Hart) and guys that are the glue (Hart and Winslow) we need a big man that can cover the perimeter and get back to protect the rim and in this case it doesn't hurt that he can stretch the floor on offense.
