and just like that, the Pacers rebuilding plans were abandoned again, with just another rip-off.
Barkley has scored 15 points in a game, amazing. He might become a decent backup in a few seasons. If he EVER get's close to 24yr old Kersey's ratings NOW i would be surprised. And the pick ... well, we know the Pacers, so if you think about lottery, dream on.
Are you for real?
You talk a lot of nonsense. Do you honestly consider Kersey to be some sort of superior player? Is he not replaceable? His 'B' defense and 'D' potential is less than desireable, and I can guarantee that I'll sign a PG with similar or better ratings in the offseason.
You're using Barley's career highs in points as a reason to label this trade as a rip off? He was recently drafted, has played in 22 games...and averages 6 mpg. However, is B C+ C+ B C- B ratings not good enough for a 21 year old player? Nobody said he's going to be a star, or did you read it in my original post?
As for the pick, Dwight, Newton, Shultz and Butler will be retired by then. Who does that leave them with? Newcomb and Agguire? With no other tradeable assets other than draft picks...I can imagine they'd have a difficult time building a contending team with their best players gone.
Do you not think before responding to a trade? Or just look at ratings and jump to conclusions, while insulting me...calling my trades a 'joke'?
