Q. Lots of chemistry with this young team already. What would you attribute this to? Why has this been missing on past teams? Thanks

A. It's difficult to put together a team with great chemistry, and usually takes time. Think how long it took those conference finalist teams under Larry Brown and Larry Bird to come together.
This team seems to have taken a shortcut, however, and it's partly by happenstance. The Pacers weren't looking to trade Paul George, but when his agent made the request, Kevin Pritchard's hand was forced.
