AND YUKI KAWAMURA

Walker Kessler cost the Lakers two unprotected firsts and two swaps and they have to pay him 4/130. Zubac trade looking pretty nice today.

Catch me on Locked on Pacers tomorrow if you’re so inclined

Tyrese Haliburton responds to Kam Jones regarding Culver’s.

Kelly Oubre will meet with Pacers, Sixers, Blazers, and Lakers reports @kellyiko.bsky.social

Biggest note: Yuki Kawamura just made Pacers Summer League so much more interesting

The Pacers will exercise the team option on Micah Potter’s fully non-guaranteed contract for the 2026-27 season, multiple league source told me.

Additionally, per multiple sources: the Pacers are extending a qualifying offer two-way wing Jalen Slawson. He will become a restricted free agent.

Pacers Summer League schedule

If Braden Smith appears in a game for the Pacers, I believe he will be the first Indiana Mr Basketball to play for the Pacers since Kyle Macy in 1986-87

Chad Buchanan will have media availability tomorrow at 2:30.

The Pacers swapped last year’s 38th pick Kam Jones for this year’s 38th pick Braden Smith.

Spurs in the Finals reminded me of the ‘24 Pacers against the Celtics in the conference finals Chances to win or big leads in nearly every game, collapses down the stretch and in the clutch, first playoff run inexperience catching up to them following a Game 7 win in previous round.

the year of hell never ceases congrats knicks

One year ago today, I was in OKC with this view

Went through some old Pacers stuff and rediscovered these gems

Hope Jalen Brunson is okay. Injuries are the worst but never more so than in the Finals.

The end of the Pacers season review series. Today, centers. Ivica Zubac, Jay Huff, and Micah Potter, up close with @1kyletaylor.bsky.social. A much different group than expected. Listen: locked-on-pacers-daily-podcast-on-the-indiana-pacers.simplecast.com Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge1u...

The Pacers are having these players in for draft workouts this week.

Tyrese Haliburton via Twitter: “Week 48”

In last 2 years, Kings fans have had to see Hali make the Finals with the greatest clutch run in history, Mike Brown coach Knicks to first Finals since 20th century, Fox be 2 wins away from a Finals appearance too, & their team fall to pick 7 in an awesome draft because they can’t even tank right.

Just continuing to sink further into the depths of basketball hell as the weeks go by since the season ended Congrats Knicks though. Was clear they were the best team in the East playoffs as soon as they got rolling against the Hawks.

Legitimately feels like Knicks are freeing themselves from their Pacers trauma in this Game 1 with their own comeback win in OT

oh hi trey murphy

This was the best/most fun recap of the 2025 Pacers run that I have found. If anyone has a better one, then please send it over. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuzy...

I watched Kevin Pritchard and Chad Buchanan from nearby as the Pacers fate was revealed. Inside the fidgety 45 minutes as the Pacers played draft lottery Russian Roulette. “In a way I felt like I was letting them down,” TJ McConnell said. For @sbnation.bsky.social: www.sbnation.com/nba-draft-lo...

This all sucks but I'd have been devastated to fall to five and worried about the lack of a center for next year... This sucks because the team getting to a place where the pick is fifth probably means it would have been juicy enough without 29 but they paid for certainty and upside and I get it.

Asked Kevin Pritchard if he thinks it’s fair the Zubac trade might be judged by today’s results:

Kevin Pritchard on the lottery via Twitter

My wife blames two things for our bad lottery luck: 1. Trading Mathurin “and his cheek bones” 2. TJ’s ill-fitting shirt. “Why did Tyrese let him wear that??”

I’ve been mentally coping with this possibility for months but it still sucks. I can’t wait to watch this team play basketball again and thankful that the lottery drawing hasn’t been something I’ve really needed to care about very often as a Pacers fan.

Make it 39!

I understand why they did the trade (the original sin is losing Myles for nothing) but god damn does today sting.

The Curse of the Pacers board members that wouldn’t let them draft Larry Bird continues

“Yeah mom, I really do appreciate you for teaching me to be a well rounded and emotionally mature adult. I really appreciate you. Well, anyways, I need to go, I am going to go watch 4 ping pong balls determine my happiness for the next 5 months”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there that just want a top-4 pick for the Pacers

ping pong bing bong sing-a-long pacers top 4

We’ll be live at 2:45 pm for the lottery tomorrow. Hope to see you in the chat.

Pacers haven’t had a top-4 pick in 38 years. Reggie Miller had just finished his rookie season. They drafted Rik Smits. Insane to go nearly four decades without picking that high. Time for the streak to end.

Knicks are going to the Finals is my takeaway from the first round.

One year ago today

Biggest ATO of the season for the Pistons and they throw it out to Duren at the top of the key who can’t shoot and the defense completely ignores. He passes it to Ausar who can’t shoot and the defense completely ignores who gets it to Cade who the Magic swarm.

JJJ’s reaction to Bane banking that in was perfect
