Nesmith would be fine, and only fine. He’s 23 and very Thibsy—hustle player, smart, etc.

He was an elite shooter in college—high 3pa rate, high 3p%, high ft%—everything you want to see. But a lot was based on a short sophomore season he hit over 50% (33.7% as a freshman). Total over 40% in his collegiate career.

And… he has been terrible in the NBA (33.3%). Still has a high ft% and solid attempt rate. 3p% was been pretty good as a rook and so far this year, but an atrocious 27% as a sophomore is what tanks his career average.

If he can find his stroke again he could be something, then we can just copy/paste the Grimes argument. Maybe he can be better off screens to boost his ceiling.

Obi to Indiana makes sense since most of his highlights seem to come against them. They don’t really have much to offer. Heild makes to much money. Maybe Brisset or Duarte and their first round pick?

I’m sure Leon is interested in Hield, which is so depressing. Or maybe Nesmith and a pick? We obviously need 3pt shooting.

Uhh… wondering that means we’re gonna keep the Sims/iHart frontcourt? Sims deserves minutes but that’s kinda crazy? That said, the ORB numbers have been bonkers.

Maybe keep Fournier with the 2nd unit permanently?

Shit, if we do that, I’m becoming a Pacers fan. An Obi/Myles Turner frontcourt would be fantastic along with their killer Hali/Mathurin backcourt.

Apparently we are talking with the Pacers about Obi. Someone asked what we should ask for in return.

Tyrese?

Too much?

Agree on Cam, it reeks of some kind of falling out behind the scenes.

Nice to see IQ breaking out a bit. If nothing else, the injuries to Brunson and RJ are providing opportunities for him to show what he can do as a go-to guy.

Yeah, I loved the Bill Bradley story as a kid but it hits a lot different now.
