I mean, I guess if you have no draft picks left he's kinda like a late second round flyer?
We have SO many guards/small 3s, he's just not going to get playing time. He's behind Haliburtion, Nembhard, Mathurin, Hield, Nesmith and probably would split minutes with Sheppard. Duarte for Toppin straight up was proposed last year to the Knicks, and the Pacers effectively did that roster-spot-wise this year
Even Kevin Durant had more than 1 team on his list when he asked for a trade. You can't take a contract offer like Portland gave, and then demand to go to one place, and have fans be sympathetic for you
I think a 2030 pick swap with Phoenix will probably have some good value
They probably should have. His contract is pretty reasonable with LA, I can't believe there wasn't a bigger market for him.
I believe he'll like go to back to Australia for a year, after which it would seem there might be less of a roster crunch for the pacers
This is why I donate to all my instances. I'm happy to donate some to have an ad free experience. It's totally worth it
I think strategic, times windows where sign ups are paused, in order to help distribute users, might be necessary. I don't think that's optimal for user experience, but I feel like if volume of sign ups stays where it is, that it's probably needed.
Those look way better than I would have expected
Excited to have him on the Pacers, I think the effective 3 team swap of Kings send draft capital to pacers who send them Duarte, and then pacers send draft capital to the Knicks and get Toppin puts two players in better contexts where they aren't jammed for minutes and can show if they can continue to grow and develop
You can really tell, as posts that used to have 1-2 comments now have 4-5. It's nice chatting with y'all
Yeah. Genuinely like how they look, and they're relatively convenient. I do have the option of contacts but just kinda prefer glasses
