NLL Insider - Team by Team: Indiana Pacersby pennywise , updated on Thursday, October 16 2014, 10:07 pm EST 2013-2014 Finish: 59-23 Season Highlight
*to get off the schneid = to break a scoreless, hitless, or winless streak.
Afflalo was a major contributor for Indiana, and Gortat outperformed his previous stats for a much better than expected season. On the flip side, Gasol was injured for most of the first half of the season and though Bazz played well for Phx, Afflalo was much better.
Indiana gave up a solid wing defender, a rebounding beast and a bum for Ilyasova who played well below par. Also, Ersan has a very big contract for a role player, so it’s no surprise that Sheed was shopping him hard.
The Indiana
Pacers send D.J. Augustin to the LA Lakers. DJ was the odd PG out on a team that had many. The Indiana
Pacers send Jose Barea and Tony Mitchell to the Utah Jazz. The Utah Jazz send Nando De Colo and Luigi
Datome to the Indiana
Pacers. Trading oft injured JJ Barea for youthful prospects…. The Minnesota
Timberwolves send Mike Miller to the Indiana Pacers. More 3 point shooters….is Miller worth a 1st rounder? The Indiana
Pacers send Quincy Pondexter to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Minnesota Timberwolves
send D.J. Augustin and Chris Singleton to the Indiana Pacers. Bums for bums….nothing of real value here. The Indiana
Pacers send Tomas Satoransky and Grant Jerrett to the Utah Jazz. Money for prospects. I’m sure there were more, but most of the rest of the trades were of minor impact to the Pacers season. Best FA Signing
Star
Indiana spent a 1st rounder on Mike Miller, who likely won’t even resign. In the 2nd round, they took Dwight Powell, a big man from Stanford. Dwight spent all four years in college, so Sheed gets someone with a high Bball IQ, but he does not have a high ceiling. Will likely be a bench contributor if he can latch onto the Pacers. Also, they selected Nick Johnson, an undersized SG with problems finishing at the rim and an inconsistent jumper. He is a good team player and very athletic. His projected potential would be comparable to Shannon Brown. Draft
grade: D
Mike Miller – Frustrated with the addition of Korver, it seems that Mike will be looking to sign elsewhere. Nando De Colo – Who knows, but he’s really a non factor on this team anyway. Willie Reed – another non impact player Sheed may let walk to open a roster spot.
