Really interesting move by the Pacers.

All these reports that Nate didn't get along with any of the players there.

All these reports that Rick didn't get along with the players here.

And the cycle continues?

He'll raise their floor for sure and get the most out of that roster, just kind of surprised is all.

Also need to keep in mind that the intense coaching style of guys like Carlisle, Thibs, Clifford or even Skiles, usually works really well for 18-24 months before the players start to get tired of your intense demands and your motivational speeches. Eventually it turns into burned out players listening to old man rants.

In a weird way Carlisle might actually be a victim of the Mavs having some roster continuity for the first time over the last 2-3 years. Since Plan Powder began our roster turnover was so high every summer, that few players even had a chance to get tired of Carlisle´s coaching style, cause they were not here long enough. In a way the ineptitude of the Mavs front office worked in Carlisle´s favour.
