Rumor from Indy

If it's between the two of us, I don't hold out a lot of hope. Presti seems to be able to get things done a bit more than Pritchard. That's not a slam on KP though. More exception praise towards Presti

 

I hope not if it's a draft pick.

 

I don't think so. Accounts seem to indicate that the Thunder would like to take Aldrich (at least according to Jonathan Givony per twitter).

 

I heard Gordon Hayward somewhere, but can't recall where.

 

Also saw Hayward. I hope so. I'm sur ehim and Babbitt will make just fine pros, but seeing Utah linked to Babbitt, and OKC linked to Hayward makes me feel good about them being or trying to get into the lottery.

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK NO! This shit is ridiculous!

 

I can't believe it would be Eric Bledsoe.....

Avery Bradley to me, makes a lot more sense....

Does this mean a Luke Ridnour signing?

 

Steve Blake!

If you could get a decent PG at 10 then Indy wouldn't be desperate to trade it for a PG.

But don't worry:

 

I meant packaged with something

 

I guess, but what if Ridnour doesn't want to come here, and Bradley didn't show much point guard ability at Texas.

I just don't get it.

 

Isn't Presti under the cap? If so, it's hard to compare.

 

Murphy makes too much. We'd need to send more.

 

What does this mean for Rudy....does he play PG? Do they trade him for a PG? Does Bayless start?

<insert pipe dream> Could this be tied into a Chris Paul trade? Like maybe to pick up a Xavier Henry?

 

Indy fans are responding with the same disgust. Alot of teams are interested in the #10. The Pacers are close to the luxury tax and do not need another average player. The pick will probably be traded after the #9 selection and will be dependant on who drops.

 

Nothing.

We're not gonna ship out Dre unless we have another deal to acquire a starting PG in place.

 

I wasn't really comparing. Just saying the if it's between the two, I would put my money on Presti getting it done over KP. KP was under the cap last year though, and came away with Andre Miller which was the 11th choice or something like that?

 

I dunno. On one hand I will consider trimming the backcourt positions from being 4 player deep (Roy, Rudy, Bayless, Miller) to being about 3.5 if it means upgrading somewhere else, on the other hand, Miller is our only true PG and he's not nessecarily the player I'd trade (unless,of course, it's for a better PG).
Bottom line: I don't mind Kevin Seraphin and if he's available at 22 we don't need this trade. Miller COULD be used in a trade but I would rather do the Joel, Martel, Miller for Hedo and Calderon trade I suggested a few weeks ago, OR, maybe trade something like Miller and Bayless (or Miller and Rudy) for a Chris Paul type.
