You pretty much struck out in fa this year. With only Tony Parker carrying this team, what are you plans for the future or what moves do you plan on making to keep yourself in contention in the East Well... I think the past 48 hours have been indicative of what route the Pacers are taking. We're looking towards the future... but that future is a lil' further down the track than "being in contention now". 74 |

You guys have been poo so far going 4-13. If next sim is a bad one will you throw in the towel or still look to improve this year and make a postseason run? Towel's been well & truly thrown. We've dealt our "Ps" - Parker, Pietrus and Prince have gone. RoLo and Wilcox are headed to NJ too. We're looking to the future - accumulating picks and we've gotten a nice young center in Enes Kanter. 75 |

with the way this season has started out, fair to say Parker is on the block and likely to be traded? And done. Indeed - I put up Tony on the block immediately post sim 2. We had a great post-season run last season - but it's time to put sentimentality aside and look at the betterment of the franchise. Additionally, even tho' TP's gone - there are still other guys on the block that could help a team in contention. Carlos Boozer... DeShawn Stevenson... Keyon Dooling... Junior Harrington... Kenyon Martin... Samuel Dalembert. Lots of good pieces still available. /salespitch 76 |

Are you going the rebuilding route now after tough start Yessir. We've waved bye-bye to the core of our team for the past few seasons. Tayshaun Prince headed to the Wiz. Tony Parker, Mickael Pietrus, Robin Lopez and Chris Wilcox travel to NJ. There could well be more movement in the coming days - but we're firmly entrenched in our rebuild. 77 |

Who do you hope commits in the 2013 draft? What position do you consider needs to be picked up in the draft for your team to succeeded ?

I think short term I have some good prospects at the big spots. Kanter & Sene are quality. So... a wing. I'd love a dynamic wing. Or a very good point man. 78 |

How long do you see the rebuilding process taking?

How long do you see the rebuilding process taking? Well... my plan is 2 seasons. This season isn't particularly deep, but 2014's pretty nice - and I could end up with 2 decent picks in that draft. Additionally, I'll have an extra pick in the 2015 first round (and if Boston can do me a solid... might be nice there!). But who the hell really knows? I gotta say I'm a bit sad to see my streak of consecutive playoffs looking like it's going to take a faceplant... but that's life, huh? I guess what I can say is that in 2015, we'll be attempting to trot out a team that can aggressively go after... making the playoffs. 79 |

Despite your entire team being traded away Sene still looks like a beast! Is he your cornerstone to build around !

Whilst Sene's a defensive beast, and can score, Kanter has even more offense - and is years younger. I think Sene will be an important part of our side for seasons to come, but Kanter could be something special. 80 |

Here's an Around-the-League question. What teams will you be paying attention to now now that your team is a tanking team.

Here's an Around-the-League question. What teams will you be paying attention to now now that your team is a tanking team. I guess most specifically, I will be looking at the other teams that are *not-interested-in-attaining-a-great-W/L-record*. Specifically: the Nuggets, the Warriors, the Rockets. I'd hazard a guess that this season, only Denver & us are actively taking part in this. That said, I'll also be watching the Nets... because how well they do this season is going to impact how good the 2014 pick of theirs that I own. To a lesser extent, the same for the Washington pick for 2015. 81 |

The Pacers came out of the draft with MCW, THJR, and Livio Jean-Charles. What do you expect from them in the upcoming season?

I expect MCW to have a good first season, and start to establish himself as a leader in the franchise, and be a part of the solution to last season's losses.. THJr and LJC? Not a helluva lot. THJr may be a back-up at shooting guard... but one of those two is destined for D-League. 82 |
