Everyone give their prediction what the Pacers do tonight and what they should do:

I think with West looking like he wont be back and its pretty 50 50 with Hibbert, I think the best thing to do is trade back to grab an extra draft pick or 2. Dream world for me would be while we traded back we some how got Lyles and Jerian Grant. Slim chance that would happen, but have better chance by trading back for it. Then, I like to see the Pacers trade for David Lee. Have some money to spend and he would fit in a more up pace game.

What they will do, I can see them maybe trading back, but I think if Payne is there I think thats the guy they want.

They hold the pick, draft for Portland and then trade Hibbert and #11 to POR for LaMarcus Aldridge in a s+t!
Boom!
Just so you know, I don't believe that happens...

They'll trade down to gain an asset on a small contract. Possibly one of the rumored trades (BOS or ATL), possibly into the 20's.

Man, I hope they don't trade down. I wanna see them take someone. Would probably like to stay away from WCS if he didn't pass the medical clearance, but I just want another prospect on the team.

I'm not even forsure if its possible with salary cap and then not sure what the Pacers could get by trading down from #11 for like the Celtics, but we grade the Celtics 2 late first rounders and whatever else we can maybe get. While trading for the Lee on the Warriors and I saw they would package their first rounder in that deal.So we draft Lyles #16. Then try to trade up to get Grant where they think he will fall at for the #28 and #30 and include our 2nd round pick to trade up get Grant.

When I say trade down, I'm hoping to be able to get 2 solid prospects on this team. Not wanting to trade down just to grab some older Vet.

Not that huge of a fan of Smart but he wouldnt be too bad. I like to know if we are getting the #16 and #28 pick along with Smart though. If thats the case then heck ya
