    Maybe Neil see's trading Dame as a way to either last longer here or somewhere else.
    I mean, we all are talking trades of every kind so selling high has to be a consideration as Im sure those great offers for Dame are rolling in?
    Neil trades Dame to The Knicks then ends up there himself. This is 100% pure HG guess work and unexpected expectations.

    Maybe in a three way but if the Pacers move Turner it's to put Sabonis at the 5 not to bring in a 5 that has more redundancies with Sabonis than Turner does. IMO

    Then you turn around and trade Nurk for another nice piece. That might make Dame happy... it's not as flashy as some other possibilities but it could work.

    I'm just not seeing the Sabonis/Nurk front court working. Maybe I'm missing something. Why do you like it? (No snark at all intended)

    The obvious reason they don't get us the team's picks ASAP is that companies have paid big bucks for us to tune in and watch their advertisements. Ratings = ESPN's $

    Turner is definitely the more athletic big type that maybe Dame drooled over ?

    But if the primary appeal is the announcement of the pick, you still get that, it's just announced earlier. Watch if you like the analysis and what not, but otherwise, IMO, it's a means to an end, and I'd rather just know who is picked where without lengthy discussions of wingspan and upside.

    Shit, maybe Neil does something(s) spectacular today and we all walk away feeling great about the team's future... wouldn't that be nice.

    Something in between A-List and just starting caliber is one Christian James McCollum and Neil be willing to attach as many draft picks as needed.
