I'm wondering what San Antonio could be willing to offer for Simons. Maybe they'd prefer to take a PG in the draft, but I would think they'd want to surround Victor with talent and he would create a lot of open looks.
Why are the stats different here... oh.... you went with last years stats. I don't consider that data to be useful because Simons was playing a different role on that team. The sample size is very small this year, but that's just how it is. Simons is playing a different role.
We could do it. Do we want to? We have the GSW pick, we have the Bucks pick, and we could conceivably get picks for Grant and Brogdon.
I think the Heat part is likely fair. Although Robinson has actually been playing really well for them, so even with his ugly contract, can see them being ok with it since he's a big help in spreading the floor. I don't think Indy would pay that much, however for Grant. 2 picks seems like an ask already, more of what it'd take for us to move him, but not what they'd pay for him. But also, Hield is still a useful player, who they may be able to land a pick for if they wanted, which almost makes it 3 1sts for Grant. Maybe they keep a 1st, and send Jovic to Utah so they get 3 1sts and a young player for Lauri. I also think this pushes us into the LT, which seems very unlikely in a lotto year.
Yeah, but salaries matching is a real bitch for Indy. They don't have a lot of huge contracts to move. Plus there were all the rumors about Hield being out because they didn't want to give him an extension. Still, it boils down to how motivated Utah is to move Markkanen. Are they hard stuck on 5 picks? I'm honestly reluctant to give up the GSW pick, but I'm not sure if there's anyone in this draft who is even remotely as good as Markkanen.
wonder if Indy would do Walker if Grant and Matisse were included, they'd trade Hield It is not the time to go after a guy like Lauri, we are too far away and he will not bring us there
The player I think would be a solid fit from the pacers is Jalen smith. What would he cost? Can’t see Walker be available just yet, they spent a high draft choice on him and would imagine they would want to see what they have in him.
As much as I wouldn’t like it, I would add Thybulle in addition to Grant to secure Walker, and they can add a top 20 protected 1st or something to balance out the deal. Hield and other guys could be combined to be traded to a contender for a 1st as well I think.
I do not think he would turn down too many trade requests. If he does, we can just trade him in the summer and he gets less of that trade kicker.
Just reading around the trade rumor mills I've read a few articles that have said Grant is not available to be traded and that he's untouchable so I think folks should shelve that trade idea for a couple of years. I'm pretty sure Brogdan will get moved at this point even though I'd move Ant instead.
You would move Ant over Brogs -- are you HIGH -- I am being serious are you friggin High Ant is playing like a stud and you want to trade him River -- Friendly reminder Posting while High and /or Drunk is not smart --- cause it has to be that reason --- LOL
