Yeah I mean...what's the worst that will happen to the Pacers without him? We'll barely make it to the 8th seed and get bounced in the first round? 
You think you'll make the playoffs, how cute.
Pacers are basically a guaranteed 6-8th seed for eternity. We usually played better without him in the past few years. I'm still stunned PG was a 2K cover athlete. He's never been a good leader, he's a selfish player, and that shit during the playoffs this year where he was like I HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO GET THE LAST SHOT and shit on all of his teammates for no reason, then gets his chance to get the last shot and barely hits the fucking backboard while his Gatorade ad of hitting a buzzer beater shot airs nonstop during the playoffs is
as hell. For some reason he's treated like he's this elite player, despite doing nothing to show that in the past 7 years. He's not going to take the Lakers past the first or second round, either. He's not that kind of player.
I mean, I don't wish ill upon him or anything, but he's just another in a long line of the past 12 years of post Reggie guys who has been treated as the savior in local media despite not delivering year after year. He's just the latest version of Danny Granger/Al Harrington/Jonathan Bender, except he costs much, much more with essentially the same results. He mentally checked out of being a Pacers player about 2 years ago, and I think everyone else around here did as well.
