SwipaHOST
... he's an elite rebounder with elite touch and an elite rim protector and can play drop.
SwipaHOST
Then you got TJ McConnell, Kelly Oubre, Jarres Walker, Obi Toppin, and then you got like Jay Huff and then Ben Shepard and all them still.
SwipaHOST
Like that's a really, really good team.
HaizeHOST
That's a really good team.
Tony EastHOST
And the Pacers, with Jenny Busick and Rick Carlisle, have gotten a lot of players to really form a jumper.
Tony EastHOST
Andrew Nembhard, Obi Toppin, even Aaron Neesmith was like, eh, added in Boston and is now nails.
Tony EastHOST
And the guy I would say that tells you more about their coaching staff's element compared to Halliburton's is a guy that got last year when Halliburton was out.
Tony EastHOST
Kobe Brown was like an awesome shooter for them.
Tony EastHOST
And the Pacers are in a very tight cap position.
Tony EastHOST
reality right now in a way that they cannot afford to get deals wrong and so I think it's right for them to basically since Neesmith they haven't rookie extended anybody take it to free agency Obi Toppin it worked out for them right and with Ben Matherin he didn't make it to free agency this is just restricted guys to be clear and so history says even if you and I can sit here and say, yeah, I think Jairus is probably worth five to seven million now.
Tony EastHOST
Same for Shep.
Tony EastHOST
Jairus could get up much higher than that.
Donny LucheHOST
Here's my thing.
Donny LucheHOST
When the conversation started, I liked the idea that Of Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, and Julius Randle or Obi Toppin.
Donny LucheHOST
I like that idea.
Donny LucheHOST
You know what I'm saying? I liked.
Brant McCoskeyHOST
Halliburton is returning to lead the offense, while Evita Zubats gives head coach Rick Carlisle a proven starting center who should significantly improve Indiana's interior defense and rebounding.
Brant McCoskeyHOST
Indiana also added Kelly O'Brie Jr. and Larry Nance Jr. to a roster that already features Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Neesmith, TJ McConnell, and Obi Toppin.
Brant McCoskeyHOST
There's certainly some projection involved when discussing the Pacers as a potential sleeper in the East.
Brant McCoskeyHOST
Halliburton's ability to return to his previous form will play a massive role determining Indiana's ceiling, and the Pacers will have to prove last season can be completely thrown out.
Matt MooreHOST
They're not tied to them.
Matt MooreHOST
Obi Toppin's good value.
Matt MooreHOST
Neath Smith's great value.
Matt MooreHOST
TJ McConnell, um, is non-guaranteed next season.
Matt MooreHOST
Well, your flexibility has to go towards somewhere.
Wes GoldbergHOST
Right.
Matt MooreHOST
We wind up in the same place as the draft pick stuff as, like, you could trade Obi Toppin for a, for a, for a pick.
Matt MooreHOST
That pick might even be as good as t- as Obi Toppin.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
I just think the... what Mitchell Robinson became by the fourth quarter of that game in Game 4 and how the Cavs were sending their double bigs at him so Josh Hart could get big rebounds.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
Obi Toppin's fourth quarter, Tom Thibodeau's performance in that series, very clearly just like, I have every answer to every move you're going to make on this chessboard, JB Vickers staff, which I think starts in this game as well.
Andrew ClaudioHOST
But yeah, I...
Andrew ClaudioHOST
I'm fine if I'm not, I don't have like an aggressive, I would have like, this is egregious that we're doing this game.
26 MINS LATER
Jonathan MacriHOST
He will come up later.
Jonathan MacriHOST
He will.
Jonathan MacriHOST
And Obi Toppin.
Jonathan MacriHOST
Hart's final stat line is 17 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal.
Donnavan SmootHOST
Yeah, that, that's, yeah, that's why I didn't pick him.
B SoulsPANELIST
Mo, how high are you on Obi Toppin? [laughs]
MoHOST
[laughs] I'ma kill this dude.
MoHOST
Ah, fuck.
B SoulsPANELIST
[laughs] Damn it.
MoHOST
Damn.
B SoulsPANELIST
[laughs] I'll have to go Obi Toppin.
B SoulsPANELIST
[laughs]
Mike FacciHOST
It's like, I don't want to be the Debbie Downer here, but I'm like, I don't want to start being like, all right, it's two picks.
Mike FacciHOST
All right, it's Obi Toppin.
Mike FacciHOST
It's Jairus.
Mike FacciHOST
You know, like, I don't want to like start doing it.
Alex GoldenHOST
Like he's just such a fun player person to me.
Alex GoldenHOST
Like I, I'm personally just don't want to see Obi leave from someone that covers this team as well.
Alex GoldenHOST
So yeah, like there's probably a lot like a stupid bias in that one, but like if you were to like throw a trade together, like Obi Toppin plus Jairus plus Shep, would be the most likely that would make some sense.
Alex GoldenHOST
But then again, you're really hurting your foredepth, and it's like, what are you going to do there? So it's like Neesmith, Walker, Shepard, Huff.
Sean TraderHOST
If we want to continue to put Neesmith maybe on the toughest assignment each night, maybe Neesmith can really unlock the starting five even more so than we're giving him credit for.
Sean TraderHOST
And then just lineups like with Halliburton, Nimhard, Neesmith, Siakam, and then even a small ball five option like an Obi Toppin or when Johnny Furphy comes back, whenever we play him and Siakam at the four or five position, he allows us to play small in that regard.
Sean TraderHOST
And then there's even lineups with Halliburton and Neesmith, Oubre, Siakam, and Zubats.
Sean TraderHOST
If we really want to go bigger, I think just Neesmith encapsulates that main piece in our lineup that allows us to play small.
