Pacers lose a top-four pick in the deepest draft in 30 years. This is devastation, I don’t care how brave a face the team has been trying to put on it.

And I’m furious #columncoming
Ya know what…

I think Dybantsa, Petersen, Boozer, Wilson and all these young guys are overrated anyway

At the end of the day, it was still barely over a 50/50 shot, but yes, insanely disappointing that it didn’t go their way. https://t.co/EwkcB3t5Hk

The Pacers basically traded the #5 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft for Zubac

You knew the fix was in when Adam Silver fined the Pacers. You can't convince me otherwise, sorry.

Eastern Conference catches a major break: the Indiana Pacers will NOT pick in the top four of the 2026 Draft.

Or in the first round, at all (for now).
Their first-round pick goes to the Clippers.
No pressure Ivica Zubac but you are going to have to be Kareem now. https://t.co/vepHGC9ZYU
