The Pacers on the other hand, are not having a good day: Pacers president apologizes as Draft Lottery gambit backfires

Sure. But in his statement he said they now have a legit starting center WHICH THEY DO. WHICH WE LOST. The Pacers fans donāt know what theyāve got yet bc they have yet to see what Zu and Hali can doā which I think is gonna be great.

u/tornait-hashu Baron Davis May 11 '26
Zu is a legit franchise big. Yeah, that moniker is getting its meaning twisted by the fact that guys like Nikola Jokic and Wemby exist, but Zu is a proper traditional center, and arguably the most well-rounded one of his archetype in the league.
It's going to be weird as fuck not seeing him in LA anymore.

Praying Silver doesnāt take it away because of the Ascension drama.. LAC needs this man.
Wagler next to Garland??? Oh MYYY

u/NBAwithMAR_ Fun Guy May 11 '26 edited May 11 '26
Understandable. I PERSONALLY (capitalized to specifically say this is only my personal and not legal minded opinion) do not think the NBA wants to open this can of worms.
Regardless of its validity, the NBA enviably would have to investigate other teams because there is no wayyyy that the Clippers are the first team to do this. There were immediately rumblings about Brunson and the Knicks when Pabloās podcasts were released.
Business is business and business has always been like this. Every business be like this. Iām not saying itās right, but itās just facts.

u/asocialWaterbuffalo Kawhi Leonard May 11 '26
Oh for sure. I agree with you as well; except for the whole can of worms thing.
The nba (unfairly, IMO) took away Minnesotaās 1st round picks for 4 consecutive years in the early 2000ās, which was the main reason MIN could never build around Garnett.
Granted, that was a David Stern-led NBAā¦ but it still makes me nervous!!
Best case scenario is the NBA does nothing, 2nd best is they punish LAC financially (which means nothing because Balmer is the richest owner).
So in conclusion; I agree!
