 Alright yo, it's good everyone. Nick Smith is back. Welcome to a new episode of the Indiana Pacers Margeum series Now I'm sorry I didn't upload yesterday Even if you can hear it in my voice today. I'm still a little bit sick. I was sick yesterday I didn't even go to school. I couldn't even make videos for you guys which kind of sucks But the day before that I Commented on a video and I was saying like I feel a little bit sick and then obviously the next day I got sick which kind of sucks, but anyway right now After a huge free agency That we had in this series. We we acquired it. We acquired some talent. We acquired DeMar DeRozan We got Eric Bledsoe in a draft in a trade for our Derek Rose Which also got us check the aloe who he this guy he's been balling for us He averages 7.5 points 6.5 rebounds 1.5 blocks per game in only 22 minutes He's a great player even if the stats don't show it when I play with him I like to play with him because he's really good And then we also got Hassan White side in free agency as well But it's not translating in the win-loss ratio. We have 89% chemistry Which shouldn't be like we shouldn't be losing with 89% chemistry. I guess we do have Hassan White side and Miles Turner injured and miles turners out for eight to ten weeks So we need a we need to replace him in the lineup with check the aloe Which I don't mind doing because check is a beast, but I think trades need to be made I'm gonna keep that nickname for miles turner pineapple head because he's here. Look, I'll prove it He's here looks like a god damn pineapple like when I when I eat a pineapple I think a miles turner look at this man. He he has a pineapple on his head But uh, yeah Let's simulate up here right now, you know Sim cars Now we'll just simulate through date. See how many wins we can take Hassan White side should be back soon. Hopefully he's back right now. I'm guessing you will be And nope, he's not all right cool cool cool Scared him report We don't even have that good of a pick all I really want is thumb maker out of Arizona State But really strong Australia He's from Sudan. I think From Sudan and then he went to Australia. He was brought up in Australia I think and I think he went to uh, he went to Canada or something. I don't know but all I know is he's Australian, okay We've got Ben Simmons in 2016 thumb maker the year after I got that in my head cuz as an Australian You got to know those things He wants to extend his contract We will see what he wants cuz George here. I mean, he's an Indiana Pacer guy. He's not a bad backup point guard to be honest but I'm not gonna promise you an extension. I want to negotiate an extension. I'm gonna pump you up by 15 I mean, I thought they were gonna negotiate one right here How do we negotiate an extension then? Can we even can we even like negotiate one? How what it we're all right? Yeah, I'm I'm in here my bad and if I sound a little bit sick already told you why so yeah Scouting coaching team office contract extensions George Hill will resign All right He's not averaging the best but he's a backup point guard. So we'll see what he wants. Hopefully it's not a lot Cuz at the moment he wants 8 million he averages. I think his contract 8 mil for one year So he wants two year 8.46 which isn't bad And why okay Ed enough for how that's seven mil. So that's 3.5 for two years 3.5 a year 7.8 will offer 7.24. I think he should yeah Okay, that's that's pretty good 7.24 for two years. I will take that. Um, that's not bad That's a little bit less than four million dollars per year. So I'll that's a pretty good Pretty good contract for a backup point guard Yeah, I'll definitely take that 3.5 and then 3.7 for a backup point guard Plus he's he's got a 91 shot 3 but I'm waiting for some white So we haven't even simulated a goddamn game yet. So let's let's keep simulating. Do we beat the calves? We actually beat the calves, you know, if if we start to win games Trades might not happen. All right trades might not happen But we did lose to the New Orleans Pelicans if you guys watch that video and Hassan's back, which is awesome But you know, I never lose to teams in 2k. Honestly, like I don't I don't want to brag or anything like I don't think it's even Bragging saying that you beat teams in 2k because it's not really anything you brag about But I'm just saying like I don't lose too many games in 2k Even on Hall of Fame, I always burn Hall of Fame I Never lose games on 2k, but we got two L's in a row one to the Kaz Which you know, that's understandable the Cleveland Cavaliers one of the best teams in the NBA But one to the pelicans. I mean these guys lost to the lake is a real laugh the other day. So Yeah, and this is what I keep CJ Masters and happy which is annoying because he has that 91 shot 3 But I guess we don't necessarily need him on this team I used to love him because of the 3-point shot that he has But he just complains and he brings down the team chemistry, which is annoying because I don't want I don't want him to bring down You know team chemistry. That's that's just gonna make us lose more games. So To be honest, I don't even know many of these guys. I know more of the 2016 draw class After well, I might actually just get them to automatically Simulate through the scanning report. It's what I'm trying to say. How long this is going for it's gone for about eight minutes. I think but All right, CJ. Well, yeah, CJ Mars might be guy. I looked at trade. All right. He I Just like I kind of like CJ Mars, but it's not worth him complaining especially with the team that we have But we're winning games now, which is awesome. We're 23 and 10, which is a lot better than we were You know if you if you like we've been on a winning streak and It's just gonna save it's not it's not gonna let me do anything But you know, I'm I'm trying to improve the quality of my videos and I know I say this a bit But I really am and I really hope you guys are enjoying the videos and all the series Like if you do and if you do enjoy them I pretty sure I was gonna say if you are and if you do enjoy them Anyway, leave a like on the video is what I'm trying to say All right, please if you guys want to see the next episode be awesome You guys could smash that like button for the next episode it really as a youtuber every every youtuber wants likes and the reason is It shares the videos around it doesn't get the the youtuber more money It doesn't get the more view well technically does but it doesn't Necessarily get them more views when you leave a like or more money or whatever It just shares the videos around so that more people can come watch the video and subscribe to the channel Hopefully because that's the main goal for Youtubers they kind of want more subs and more views. I mean, that's that's why they do it, right? And because you know, we love editing making videos and all that good stuff. But anyway We we keep winning a few games like we're doing okay But I want to see if Dwight Howard and his team is healthy Isaiah Dwight Bradley. Yeah, these guys are healthy. They don't have Brandon Ingram But then again, we don't have pineapple head. That's what I'm gonna call from now on I'm sorry if you guys don't like the name that you got to do it. I'm it's pineapple head. Okay, but anyway, we know that um That what's his name? Wait, why? Hold up. Where is he CJ Mars right here? He's frustrated because he's not getting many minutes, which I'd rather trade him Then make the team chemistry go down even though it's under 90. We'll just see what he's worth And hopefully we can get some rookie or something if we can get a rookie for Mars Turner No, I'm not doing what I'm doing CJ Mars It's miles miles. All right, I'm gonna get confused CJ Mars Mars Turner Even though I call him pineapple head, whatever if we can get a rookie for CJ Mars or a second-year player That'd be awesome because then the contract is low But I mean we got it. We got to see what happens I don't want a huge contract on this team Especially because we have a son pretty big contract DeMar pretty big contract bled so pretty big contract Paul George pretty big contract. We've got a guy guys that are getting paid this guy Why is he work? Why did they pay him so much money? How much do we pay? How much do we pay our rookie? Hold up. I just want to see something. How much do we pay check the other? What the hell are they doing Mars Turner? Yo, what are you doing Chicago? All right, JJ Redick I mean we can replace a shooter for a shooter but Contracts pretty heavy. I'm good Sabo Sephalosha. I'm I was starting my Jeremy Lam Not bad, but and we get PJ Harriston trade Burke Darren Colson on trade Blatch Lou Williams Also on a decent contract boozer. Yes, let's get boozer. He's a beast man That is young and down ways, but we just re-signed George Hill. I kind of want to keep him Malik Newman and Gary Harris once a second-year player 87 shot three that can replace Mars Turner and Malik Newman. He's a great backup point guard who shouldn't have been picked So I know Malik Newman. He's actually pretty good. He shouldn't have been picked 17th in this draft I reckon he could have gone a little bit higher, but his ratings on the other 72 But we'll just see what up Stanley Johnson That might be the move people That might be the move Stanley Johnson Why is he only out of 74 overall? I Don't know Human Justice wins like cuz I'm a heat fan. So I love Justice wins though Human Justice wins low of very similar great defensive players ready or like they're all ready for the NBA big-body type players Um Obviously yes to work on the shooting ability, but his defense is nice for rookie. He's a two-and-a-half star same as CJ Miles if I can just What if we got drummed for Hassan Like what if we did that actually look at that contract right there by by Dreyas. That's pretty big Sounds not worth that much. So yeah, I like I like Hassan as well I don't know why I do that, but Reggie Jackson He's a I watched him the other day up against the New York Knicks. He was pretty clutch, but He's worth a lot of money 14 million or almost 15 for like I mean he might be worth it one day But at this you know, he actually might be worth it to be honest that the pistons have a pretty good One-two punch with Jackson drumming, but anyway, I want to see if we can just get this straight to go through We lose a little bit of you know salary We gain a young player that we can develop and we lose a player that's just gonna complain Whereas I think Stanley Johnson might want to he won't mind at a backup. Hopefully And He can play the two. He's only six six. So they're both six six. So Stanley Johnson can play the two Um He wants I might just get I might just trade away the second round pick unless actually we can offer a first-round pick What about this? Danny Grainger is all they are. I Kind of like Danny Grainger though because he's he's an old Indiana Pacer guy. I like Danny Grainger Wait, is this the oh this is the biggest guy But I don't we need a backup center as well actually We do need a backup center, right? Because we got Hassan and Jermaine O'Neill Jermaine O'Neill like he's decent, but he's not anything crazy um What about I give you Joseph Young just because I don't need another point guard. We have Eric Bledsoe George Hill who's a backup And that's all I really need Eric Bledsoe and George Hill and I do need a backup center as well I'll even I don't want to give you I kind of want to keep my Indiana Pacer guys What about I give you a first round and you give me two second round pigs they really want Danny Grainger I'm gonna take this offer. All right I'm gonna take this offer. We get a we get a lot of first-round pigs We get one two No, yeah one two two first-round pigs and we give up CJ mouse and Danny Grainger Which we get Stanley Johnson who I think I like Stanley Johnson as a player and It's gonna ruin the team chemistry a tiny bit But we'll we'll find a way to be back ready To play the Celtics to be honest and I'm happy getting Stanley Johnson Honestly, like that's a great pick up to be honest Stanley Johnson. All right now. Let's simulate to the Boston Celtics game. Hopefully Hopefully team chemistry goes up to at least an 80 by the time we play the Celtics. I know for George's upset. He's always Two losses in a row two wins in a row. Let's beat the calves Okay, going into another cutscene another one now How long has this video gone for it's going on for almost like 20 minutes So I'm gonna end this and it's quick and I'm gonna let the scout handle this from now on because I don't need to get into this Really, I mean, I don't know much of the players anyway I can just go by how he's how he scouts and just look up, you know in real life like just on a website how good this 2017 draft is so Yeah, we beat the calves And we beat the clip as well, that'd be pretty good We got two really really good wins and then we face up against the Celtics. We do All right, so now the next episode we're gonna face up against the Celtics and We're gonna see if we can actually win a game if we cannot beat the Celtics a trade is happening Okay, a trade is happening because It's just annoying we can't win games right now, it's It's annoying, but I reckon I reckon since the trade to get Stanley Johnson the team is now settled and we should win again So if you guys do over here if you did smash the like button subscribe if you are new I'm out peace
