Pacers up and coming?
If Larry Bird doesn't screw this up he can have a true east contender in a couple of years, this team is a lot different than Atlanta and has much more potential than Atlanta did.
Pro's:
A young cheap PG (for now) that has potential to be a star)
A star young swing man locked up for 4 years at a reasonable price
A young center that can dominate both ends and is only developing and getting better
2 raw young players with lots of potential (Stevenson and George)
A Pf that is getting better young and cheap he will be solid but never a star
3 big expiring contracts which they can use how they want at deadline (Ford, Dunleavy, Foster)
Weakness:
Don't have a big to stretch the floor
Don't have a 2 guard that can score at a decent rate
Don't have a lock down defender (Jones is a good defender but not a lock down)
Don't have a elite three point shooter
