IntroductionThis is my first post here on Substack. I want to introduce myself before we talk about the trade. First of all, welcome to Pacers Court. This blog will be the place I give my full take on the Pacers and the rest of the NBA. I previously was the head of Lockerbie Sports. While at Lockerbie, I hosted many podcasts including Breaking Dahn and the Morning Lockerbie Show. I enjoyed my time there. However, Lockerbie closed up last month after 2 years and I've moved into independent journalism. I hope to find a new home at some point but right now this is where you'll find me.Domantas Sabonis Leaves IndyPacers said goodbye to Domantas Sabonis last Tuesday as he was traded to the Sacramento Kings. It's hard to fathom that he's gone. Sabonis has been a player I've believed in since he was traded here with Victor Oladipo in the Paul George Trade. Sabonis grew so much as a person, and as a player while he was here. Getting married to his wife Shashana Sabonis in August. Watching him go from a throw in player to a 2 time All-Star. It's been a great ride. I'll never forget the time I got my 2019-20 city edition Sabonis jersey. I was so excited and I've hanged it on my wall ever since.Sabonis brought it nearly every night on both ends of the court. Becoming a consistent double double guy for the Pacers. He may not be missed in the short term but over time I feel more Pacers fans will feel it. He is a big loss for this franchise regardless if it was a good move for the future.Overall TradeThe Pacers knew going into this season that this would be the last year for the Turbois experiment. If Rick Carlisle, wasn't able to find a way to make it work they were going to move at least one of them.As we all know, Sabonis was the one who was moved. According to WOJ, Pacers and Kings made a big trade that included Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, and 2027 2nd Round Pick headed to Sacramento, and Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, and Tristan Thompson coming back to the Pacers. Personally I believe this trade was an absolute steal. As I said on my twitter, Kevin Prichard broke the entire City of Sacramento's ankles. The rest of the league was shocked because it was thought around the league that Tyrese Haliburton was untouchable.Regardless, Tyrese will be a major impact player for the Pacers going forward. He will be the franchise cornerstone, the first since Paul George. Only 21 years old, he will have many season of growth in front of him and he should easily reach All Star level by the time it is over with. Not only that, he will no doubly go down as the best Pacers point guard in the NBA era of the franchise.The other asset Buddy Hield is also a great pickup. Hield is one of the leagues best 3 point shooters and should fill the role that Doug McDermott did during his time here in Indiana. He has already made some fans call Gainbridge Fieldhouse, The Hieldhouse.How will the Sabonis Era be remembered?I feel a lot of people aren’t talking about the legacy that Sabonis has left. I believe he will be forever loved here in Indiana. Some fans may turn on him because how he went out. In general, how can you blame the guy for leaving?Kevin Prichard messed up. Plain in simple. He’s the reason Sabonis wanted out. Yeah he may have left eventually but KP is the soul reason. Those who believe Sabonis’s legacy is tainted aren’t right because he didn’t give up on us. We gave up on him.When Sabonis comes back to town on March 23rd. Pacers fans will give him a proper send off. I believe it won’t be as strong as Victor was but it should. The fact is that Victor gave up on us. He didn’t want to be here. Sabonis did and I feel he will be loved here even in a different jersey. The Next EraThese trades obviously give a signal. The Pacers are rebuilding on the fly. The Pacers should rebound next season. With the assets they’ve gained and the draft assets we have. As fans of this team, we need to continue to be hard on Kevin Prichard and ownership. We can’t count on them to do the right thing. Being right so far, doesn’t mean they will continue to do the right thing. Don’t be surprised when they do make a bad move.Pacers fans have made it clear over the course of this season. We want to draft Jaden Ivey. Being from Indiana, it makes so much sense. He’s an absolute stud and should make a great one and two punch with Haliburton. We also need to keep in mind the other guys on the draft board. The Pacers have Duarte already so maybe drafting someone in a position of need makes more sense. Now let’s be honest, Herb Simon is 87 years old. He doesn’t have many more years left. I believe he completely open to risk everything to win a championship. He has been open to spending money which has been great in the past. Also keep in mind, he has a soft-side for in-state talents as we all know. He also really likes getting butts in the seats. Don’t be surprised when we trade for Gordon Hayward, Eric Gordon, ...
