With the #NBAFinals now over, teams may begin negotiating with their own free agents. It’s new this year.
And for the Pacers, that means Pascal Siakam. – 12:01 AM

Today’s exit interview focuses on Pascal Siakam. The star forward had a hard time being traded and it could have impact his performance. Instead, he got the support he needed in Indiana: si.com/nba/pacers/new… – 10:42 PM

I think there’s more of like a “big wing at the 4” vision for Leonard Miller out there — maybe jus5 because the Wolves have a million 5s — but I think this type of basic but impactful stuff at the 5 is where Miller will be able to play effectively first.
Siakam-esque can still pic.twitter.com/tzeWnH9Jkz – 10:08 AM

If the Pacers decide to re-sign Obi Toppin to a long-term deal, rival executives wonder about the potential availability of Jarace Walker, per @MikeAScotto (hoopshype.com/lists/aggregat…).

More on this storyline
The prevailing notion around the league is Indiana will look to re-sign forward Pascal Siakam in free agency to a max contract and extend point guard TJ McConnell. -via HoopsHype / June 15, 2024
Chad Buchanan: I think the arrival of Tyrese really sprouted and allowed Myles to blossom and I think Myles would tell you the same thing. The game is easy when you play with Tyrese and especially when you can shoot. If you’re screening for Tyrese and you can shoot, you’re going to get a lot of open shots, and I think Myles understands that. Those two have developed a real chemistry, and as a five man who can spread the floor and shoot with the way we play with Pascal, TJ, and Bennedict when he’s out there, they’re attacking the rim. It just gives a lot of space to a lot of our other guys, and to see him have success this year after what he’s been through, and as loyal as he’s been to the Pacers and the organization when he really didn’t have to be and to see him get rewarded was really great to see. I know it meant a lot to him, because he’s wanted this for a long, long time, and to see it happen for him was really rewarding. -via iPacers.com / June 6, 2024
Chad Buchanan on Pascal Siakam: We were hopeful that the fit was going to be strong because he’s at a position where we’ve kind of been trying to upgrade and improve over the last few years. And his ability to do a lot of different things is the type of player that Rick likes: the guy that can take a defensive rebound and go with it, can post up, can face up at the elbows or the mid-range and create a basket for you. He’s an underrated passer. And he’s just a very difficult cover for defenses. We thought if we’re at the kind of point in our season where we’re in this play-in, playoff range, like, does he get us over the hump and to be in as a playoff team? We were hopeful and we thought this is the guy that can help us establish us as a legit playoff team this year. He did exactly that. -via iPacers.com / June 6, 2024
