The End of An Era in Indiana

Gerald Wilkins has been traded


Indiana (AP) -- Pacers fans all over the world woke up Monday morning with the news that their beloved Gerald Wilkins will no longer wear a Pacers jersey.

This Wilkins fan, living in Beijing but clearly not an Aoshen fan - since that team has no fans - was seen weeping on the subway after finding out the news on her cell phone:



KK Partizan C Shawn Bradley shared his take on the Wilkins trade: "It's a shocker. I think every player in the league got a wake up call this morning. You know, if Wayne Gretzky can get traded, and if now Gerald Wilkins can get traded, well then nobody is safe".

Bradley shared an intimate experience with Wilkins one night, when he was posterized earlier this season:




"It was an honour to be posterized by a man like Gerald Wilkins. I thank him for that opportunity" Bradley said.

Pacers management will show the following Gerald Wilkins tribute video before the next home game, and every home game after that.



To the next step, Gerald.

I know Belgrade! This man literally dragged the Pacers to the 8th seed of the 2028 playoffs after being almost 10 games out. Let it be known that the Pacers will always be greatful for the fact that this amazing baller graced our court but we simply could not afford him anymore, he was just to expensive. We love him, we hope to perhaps have him return oneday, we wish him all the best!

The fact that he was traded just 6 minutes ago and already media sources are going mad confirms that we may have made the wrong decision here but only time will tell.

That stiff. 100pp at least for what the 1st round pick vs Gerald Wilkins trade off netted.

Technically it should be worth zero points the minimum for an article to get graded is 300 words

This is 209 and some embedded videos

Shall I regrade it?
