Give OO starting minutes or trade him. I’ve seen enough of Capela. Should have traded him last offseason. I really can’t wait until this roster is gutted. Complete lackluster defenders littered everywhere.

OO has shown me he cannot be a starting center in the NBA. A PF starter or backup. This year he could have proved that but he did not when is he was available.

Good for him. Agents take too much

For reasons having to do with the Centennial Yards Entertainment district, there is no chance they trade Trae (I don't care either way) but it's obvious on that front unless he specifically "asks out" like Dame did eventually. However, I think it's clear they will test DJM's market again and I hope we can change the rest of the roster up.

I’m really sour on NBA writers and so called sources after the last few years. I can’t believe any of that trash anymore the process of scenario creation and rinse and repeat is continuous trash cycling. These so called sources will have you spinning in 5000 directions before the actual real truth is put out by Woj

Trying to convince me that Hollinger has sources is ridiculous and reaks of bias pushing by posters here looking for Trae to get traded. Honestly I don’t care who gets traded but this team sucks big time at defense. But trying to tell me Hollinger is connected and more than just a columnist is fan fiction itself.

He has been outrageously wrong on many things for many years. John Hollinger is not a source. He is as much of a source as Jeff Schulz was. He was and always will be a columnist.

Hunter and Capela gotta go. I agree Bogi is not our starting SG. Trae-SG-SF-Jalen-Center Trae and Jalen are the only starters for next year we currently have. We need better defensive players at the other spots.

KG if you're team is great on offense and sucks at defense you are likely to get exposed in the playoffs

lol whoops.. meant the bucks you know that

Pacers elite offense getting throttled by Boston defense… rely on offense for the playoffs? Prepare for disappointment

We know this is, that’s the funny part

This draft is bad bad

We literally have watched this unfold for season after season.. Tell me ya'll.. how many times we had 135 scored on Charlotte but Terry went for 40 and they scored 142. I'm telling ya.. ya'll got your head in the sand. Literally what offense talent are we going to add to this... that is literally stupid for a front office to do. Add some freaking defenders man... how freaking hard is it.

NO above average scoring and average to above average defense gets you in the top 4 elite scoring doesn’t mean squat. you think the pacers are a threat to win the finals? No way

LOL at the advanced stat geniuses. it doesn’t take a rocket scientist that we we lose so many games to having a porous defense. no advanced stat metric combing offensive and defensive stats will give you that. we are near the bottom of the league in defense every year since 2020. whether it be personnel or scheme.. watching games daily you will see opposite team random scorers get hot and them hit corner 3’s consistently. GET BETTER DEFENSIVELY, WIN MORE GAMES advanced stats can go in the trash

Ehh.. looks like there is a good chance we will have a pick in ‘25 after all. 4D chess on the DJ trade lol. Now we just need to trade for a ‘26 and 27’ and we are back to square one.

Let’s be honest with us avoiding the tax her expertise hasn’t really been needed

50 cooks in the kitchen

yes we know.. you’ve beat this opinion to death

I still think the Pelicans and Griff are the ideal trade partner for this offseason... Anything centered on DJM and including Herb Jones would be great...

this is a good plan

Exactly.. or maybe Jaylen Brown forces a trade.. those racist Boston fans don’t deserve him

I voted trade DJM even though I love him as a player. Why? I’d use him for a defensive star forward trade like Bridges or OG type players mainly a trade around herb jones.. anybody in the top 25 of this list will do fine: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/best-defensive-rating-for-small-forward

This is true. i still think the best route is stick with Trae and use DJM to get more defense. Sign and trade for defense across the board. dump Bey Capela and Dre for better defenders Out: Bey, Dre, Capela, DJM In: Starters for Defensive Center, Defensive Forwards (OG or Trey or Bridges or Herb types), start Bogi at the 2 and use Kobe to back him up. Sign Delon Wright to backup Trae.
