Should Boston trade BKN 1st Round Draft pick for Paul George or Jimmy Butler?

More so for Paul George due to Bulls saying Butler is off the market. Should they trade their top pick in a loaded draft for a sure thing? I feel that it's always a lil risky banking on a 19 year old to come and be the next big thing but I'm sure a lot of Boston fans feel this pick is sacred. What do you guys think?

You get a proven all star vs. a project. Hell yes you do it.

If they get either of those players with only one Brooklyn pick, it's robbery IMO.

Yes they should trade that pick. Even in a deep draft class it's not fixed they'll aquire an upcoming top10-15 player... they won't get anything better than George or Butler.

Yeah for Paul george no for jimmy Butler. I can tell you from first hand experience paul george is unstoppable on offense and defense in the playoffs. When he is motivated. Almost had his 7th seed pacers beat 2nd seed raptors by himself.

He been at war with Lebron twice in the ECF already too

There def would be fillers around the pick but that's what it would all boil down to. Celtics would try and make Finals now as Pacers rebuild.

If I were the Pacers or Bulls, I'm not even having the conversation unless both picks are on the table. People act as though Boston is the only team that can put a good offer on the table. The Suns, Lakers & Philly can all put together rebuilding packages.

Absolutely

You trade one of them, a few players, and the other future picks(memphs/clippers) for Butler/George.

They def could but no ones talking about it because it honestly wouldn't be as significant as Butler or George going to Boston. Either one going to the Boston makes them title contenders .

That's debatable but it's not the point. It's not the job of Chicago or Indy to help Boston contend. It their job to maximize the return for their team.

Do they really have a choice?

This is true. If 1 of those 3 picks becomes a comparable player to either George or Butler it's considered a success. There's a better chance of neither hitting that level than 2 hitting that level.

The Pacers should ask for 2018 Brooklyn 1st, 2019 Memphis 1st, 2020 Boston 1st, Jae Crowder, Amir Johnson.

Post #17 » by **Nolan** » Wed Feb 22, 2017 7:59 pm

Yes they should. Their core isn't getting any younger and either one of those guys would turn them into legit contenders.

Without a doubt.

I mean, I don't think the question is "Would you trade the Brooklyn pick?".

The real conundrum is, what else is CHI/IND demanding?

That's obvious.

The statement was asking why no one talks about the pacers dealing with LA and PHI is because no one cares to talk about it besides their fan base. People want cleveland to be challenged and Boston is the closest team of they acquire any of those guys
