Happy for forever being a couple pieces away from making the NBA Finals and having an overrated superstar?
....or having a center that you can't even trade away because his contract is too big?
...or having a triple-double headache who doesn't even want to come back because you didn't offer him enough?
The list goes on for the Pacers....maybe I just don't like your team because they are cocky for no reason. I liked PG before everyone started anointing him a superstar. And I liked Hibbert before he flat out started sucking wind.
And I never liked Stephenson but I respected his hustle.
This move is a good one for James, who will now leave another franchise to be left for dead. I am happy for Cavs fans and am glad James will show a firm commitment to helping them win their first title.
Overall this doesn't really change the competitive landscape in the East, which is great for every team in the East because everyone still kind of has a shot. It's ridiculous how loaded the West is right now!!! With OKC, San Antonio, Golden State, Clippers, Houston (now that they're getting Bosh), NOBODY has a cakewalk.
Also I am only partially kidding about disliking the Pacers. I love that they play as a team and I love Vogel and his energy. I think they got away from some of their core tenants and it led to inconsistency. I look forward to seeing them get back to being the team they were in previous years.
