Fagadelphia's Harris deal further exemplifies that the T'Wolves got fleeced in theirs

Mostly?

Every once in a while they are good enough to lose in the conference finals.

that Pacers team that lost to MJ, I think, was the biggest o stable to MJ winning 6 in a row.

That Pacers team def. could have won the title that year- and maybe/probably should have.

It's also hilarious the guy that has kept saying "built not bought" is now campaigning for Free Agents. Oh the irony.

It's usually the content instead.

Was this the same years that they played the Jazz? I have to figure without those Bulls teams the Jazz pull down 1 of the 2.

1998 NBA Eastern Conference Finals - Indiana Pacers vs. Chicago Bulls | Basketball-Reference.com

Pacers took them to 7 and lost by 5 in game 7....that Pacers team was really really good- especially defensively.

I think they woudl have beaten the Jazz that year. I think they gave the Bulls a much harder time than the Jazz did- and the Jazz getting 2 games had at least part to do with the Pacers engaging the Bulls in a knock-down-drag-out fight in the ECF.

They split the regular season matchup and Jazz would have had home court against the Pacers. I am not sure who would have one it, but I would have put my money on the Jazz.

fair enough

def. would have been a good series.

That was a good Pacers team though and it was teh closest MJ ever was to losing during his reign atop the league.

Magic vs Pacers, 1995 ECF, game 4 was one of the most batshit finishes ever - 4 lead changes in the last 13 seconds!

Honestly, it may not seem like it because the Finals went 6, but a case can be made that the Jazz series was every bit as close.

The Bulls were running on fumes by the end of the playoffs. I believe that if not for Jordan's game 6 heroics, the Jazz would have taken game 7 at home and won the title.

I am not sure how the Jazz Pacer matchup would have gone, but both teams were Chicago's equal in '98, IMO.

By heroics do you mean blatant push off? We all know 1 play changes 100% of everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Stockton hit that 3 I thought that game was over, hell of a finish by Jordan.

Memo to Tobias Harris regarding your impending free agency - You won't be exploited to all the bullshit drama here in Indiana that you are currently in Philly. The scene is strictly about basketball here.

Won't be "exploited" to all the bullshit?

 

[trojanfan12]

Iknowrite?

I mean, there are probably 100 better choices than Fagadelphian.
How does that get to the top of the list????

I shudder to wonder at the real estate we are buying up in that head....

Definitely the low rent district.

If the responses on this thread weren't gold it would be straight to fouled out. You guys saved 'Cane's post.

And what is his problem with Philly? And homosexuals, for that matter?

The assets were not just in exchange for All-Star level talent players, but All-Star level talent on expiring contracts. There's no guarantees for their return to the team, so the asset exchange is significantly lower. If Butler or Harris were still on 2 or 3 year deals with reasonable market contracts the ask price is significantly higher. That's why Philly was able to procure both players.

Also if I had to guess I'd say Philly would elect to keep Harris over Butler. Harris is a much better fit overall to the team based on a myriad of different aspects, but most notably the surly nature of Butler could cause problems down the road.

It's NBA common sense 101.....you'd think a guy that claims to know a lot would understand that.

Suppressed feelings?
