There was a new, but familiar face at the St. Vincent Center on Wednesday. Sitting beside team president Kevin Pritchard, courtside for the Pacers’ fifth workout with draft prospects, was Happy Walters. A player agent for the past decade, Walters wasn’t just looking on with Pritchard. He was wearing a navy team-issued Nike polo with the Pacers’ logo. He’s the latest addition to the front office. Walters joined the Pacers in recent months as a consultant to the front office, he confirmed during a phone conversation with Fieldhouse Files on Wednesday. Marc Stein first reported the hire.

Mike James: I don't have a problem with Stephen Curry

In the recent URBONUS podcast episode, James said that he has no bad feelings about Steph, and many took his words out of context. “I think I said a lot of controversial things in general because I think outside the box. But for some reason, every time I mention Steph Curry, everybody gets mad, and everybody assumes I don’t like him,” James smiled. “But I think he’s amazing. To be honest, he changed basketball. Like seven years ago, everybody started shooting threes and playing small ball. Not only because of him. Like 75% of him, and then like the other 25% the Warriors. I don’t have a problem with him,” James told on the BasketNews show.

During his show on 620 Rip City Radio in Portland, host Chad Doing mentioned that he had heard that the announcers would not go on the road with the Blazers. His co-host, Dwight Jaynes, then confirmed the report. “I have confirmed from several sources that that is the plan for the Trail Blazers,” Jaynes said. “That they will not be sending radio or television on the road with their team. Also, what I’ve heard and I’ve tried to check this out, I have not found any other team in the league that’s doing this. I believe they may be the only team in the league doing it — when they’re on the road. And I just think that’s really unfortunate and difficult.”
