Just a place to marvel over the production and efficiency this kid's putting up.

Thanks for sharing his. He’s both an amazingly fun player to watch on the court, and an insanely likable guy off the court.

I live in Atlanta now, and :eek:

Sorry. Luckily, they’re all at least “fine”.

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, Trae is at least a decent, professional family man who really just wants to win.
He's just obnoxious as h3ll.


Hali seems like such a nice dude and is so smooth and efficient when running point.
Honestly, I don't regret taking Trae Young over Luka Doncic, but passing on Haliburton in that 2020 Draft for Onyeka Okongwu still hurts.

TH is on pace for a Hall of Fame career the way things are going. The fact that he's Grant Hill-level of likable is icing on the cake.

It's nice having him on the team, but remember the Pacers paid a pretty penny to get him, Sabonis was swapped. I give an edge to the Pacers, but it's slim.

I'll leave that for Historians and Pacers fans to debate.

I would not trade Haliburton for all the gold in King Soloman's mines.

Also, a big enough deal that he gets multiple tweets from Woj on when he’s questionable, and u,ti a tell out for a regular season game.

Assuming he sustains this for the rest of the season, I'm starting to think Pacers should look into expediting the timeline a bit

I've so far been in the camp of just being patient, but if Tyrese playing like this is going to be the new normal then it makes sense to not waste it

Takes 2 to dance. Pacers need to wait for the right deal and not rush into something. But i agree, something gotta give. Two more first round picks to one of the youngest teams in the league where 3 first rounders dont even play much yet (jackson, walker & sheppard)

I think those 3 need to be playing in the GLeague as much a possible.

Yeah.. but if next year,.. or into 2025, those guys all reach consistent, rotation players, with the skills they bring & how they should compliment Hali, Nembhard, and each other,... this team is going to be even more fun to watch than it is now! LOL =]
