Offseason

[markid]

It's time for offseason stuff.
Pels signed Looney. So that's cool to see.

Good signing. Was hoping that's who we'd go after.

The Milwaukee Bucks are 1 player away from being amongst the top 5 worst teams in the NBA. Just crazy... Honestly all other moves by Dumars this offseason have been solid.

I wanted a veteran C so is good, for decent price

for the rest I would like another veteran 3-4

They paid for his leadership and mentoring. As a player, he has been on a significant decline.

Milwaukee just signed Myles Turner. They probably finish top 4/5 in the East for sure this year now.

But that also means the Pacers just got worse. Without Turner and Haliburton there's a non-zero chance that they miss the playoffs now and they got their 2026 pick back from New Orleans. They can even intentionally tank for a year now if they want.

Yep. Pels couldn't have seen that coming though. And we'd be sweating it all the way through the lottery that it wasn't picks 1-4 (since it was protected 1-4 we wouldn't have gotten anything if it lands there). Also if they hadn't reacquired the pick maybe Indiana wouldn't have done this to begin with.
