This is an option to consider - Gives Pacer a stretch 5 look and a better rebounder....and a little more strength solid rim protection...Huff Smith and Obi toppin some at the 5...dont sound horrendous to me....

Im a fan of Ijax - but smith a better rebounder more strength and can shoot it!

But reality is Pacers to get Kessler or Zubac - both very good, Zubac is outstanding - going to take some serious financial investment....and a loss of lot of assets,,,,

Gafford I like but he is going to be at 18 million a year for next 3 years....Is he a starting center?? Nice Player but.....

If going that route of rim runner and goalie take a chance on developement of Yves Missie - Can he be Daniel Gafford soon?? I dont know....

and still regardless if you go this route Smith or Missi....going to be a log jam of log jams if healthy at gaurd and wing next year....going to need to be some consolidation of some point...

if you resign mathurin...Which I am in favor of ....

PGs Haliburton Nembhard McConnell - 45 million, 18 million, 11 million Wings Nesmith soon to be 20 million Nembhard will be with Haliburton on floor - Mathurin signed at 20 million plus - And assume we drafting a wing/guard with high pick thats going to be 10 million, and a cat that needs minutes....Also have Shepperd who is solid as a rock but shot it poorly, like Qjax and ethan thompson has been great in a short window...

Still have Walker, and Toppin and Furphy big fans of Obi and Furph....

Siakam getting 30 minutes - and a beast - 45 million...

Pacers get healthy next year they are a problem - but they have to make a consolidation of some sort at sometime soon...right now and this year they are a mash unit....but next year a consolidation has to happen that a lot of people arent going to like...
