    What’s up with this trade? Seems weird for the Pacers to give up on this guy so quickly

      Injuries pushed him off the ledge apparently. The fellow was a ROY candidate now he’s hurting:C but I’m gonna say Rui rebounded so positive vibes.

      We have SO many guards/small 3s, he’s just not going to get playing time. He’s behind Haliburtion, Nembhard, Mathurin, Hield, Nesmith and probably would split minutes with Sheppard. Duarte for Toppin straight up was proposed last year to the Knicks, and the Pacers effectively did that roster-spot-wise this year
