How The Pacers Became The NBA's 'Second Draft' Oasis

Timelord fills a position of need and is aged appropriate for our rebuild. I see zero reason why Portland would move him unless it's an overpay by another team.

Ya - I am totally on board w/ keeping Rob. Love his game and hope we can keep him in the 20-22mpg range to ensure health.

Ayton and Williams as our C rotation is pretty exciting. And Rob's contract is absurdly affordable in this day and age. Both he and Matisse are uniquely affordable given the current atmosphere in this league IMO. 2 All-NBA defender for like 22M combined. Yes please.
