Pacers: LOL @ Pacers "Fanbase"

[romsey31]

I think you also need to factor in the cities' populations imho. NY and Chicago have big populations so they have more fans attending their games despite the teams disappointing, Dallas as a city doesn't even rank top 10 on the population list but the metropolis of DFW has the 2nd largest population of this country, only behind the big NY metro. The attendance-population ratio can reflect the popularity of basketball in a city better than the absolute numbers themselves do imho, in which sense the Rockets have the tiest fan base. That city has the 3rd largest population of this nation, and a team that looks stacked and is supposed to contend, yet it only ranks 13rd on that list.

Please don't bring any common sense to this discussion.

- Pacers are paying George Hill 8 mil per year for another 3 seasons after this year

- They're also on the hook for paying David West 12 million for another 2 seasons after this year

-Granger's expiring isn't going to be felt since Paul George's extension kicks in after this season

This team is going to have to dig deep into the luxury tax if they want to retain their trio of George, Hibbert, and Stephenson (stephenson is a UFA this year and was only making 1 mil). If their fan base isn't supporting the team they way they should considering how great they're playing, there is no way ownership is going to dig deep into their pockets.

stephenson is overrated unless he drastically improves his game where the defenders actually defend him instead of letting him drift on offense for easy baskets...

they can afford to sit and either match whatever offer he gets instead of outbidding themselves....

You mention lances points but failed to mention his consistent rebounding and assist. His offense is his weakest link, whatever we get from him offensively is a plus. We need him to push the ball in transition and crash the glass.

Small market. That's it. I like the Pacers.

[The Gemini Method]

That's my point?

Indy is small market and small market in the middle of nothing.

I think I misread your intent. I thought you were saying that the Warriors pull from outside a metropolitan area. My bad, Mr. Havoc.

Can't even sell out Staples with a metro area population of 18 million.

Just spent almost half your cap space on a guy that will be in the wheelchair/alzheimers league with Timmy in 5 years.

I'm sure your "best in my own damn gym" banner will look nice next to the Deandre Jordan and Matt Barnes banners.

It must be quite embarrassing for you. Staples being built for the Lakers and now run by the Clippers. #Fredo.
