That's where they sit right now and is a tougher call.

Trade that to Houston to lift our trade pick restrictions in the future. Then trade Plumlee, Josh Jackson, COJ, Mcgruder, Oakfor and Sabeen Lee and 2 future FRP to the pacers for Malcolm Brogdan and Myles Turner. Pacer get cap relief because they can decline the options on COJ and Mcgruder. And they get two young player in Josh Jackson, Sabeen Lee and a good backup in Plumlee plus picks. We get to compete immediately.
Pg: Brogdan / Hayes / DSJ
Sg: Cade or Green/ Diallo / F. Jackson
Sf: Grant/ Bey
Pf: Stewart / Sekou
C: Turner / MLE = Whiteside or Noels
Plus we have Blake's money coming off the books next year and a very good mix of age and talent that can mentor our young players.

It doesn't work like that anymore. If you're trading for a guy with an option you have to guarantee the contract.DET_Athletics wrote:Got an even crazier trade. What if we win a top 2 pick.

I see both ways. I lean more towards the trade because this team is a starting Pg, Sg and C from true competition. Either way it goes we should find a way to land Turner if we get a top 2 pick and take Cade or Green. He would be the best big next to Stewart outside of Mobley. I would be willing to trade Lee, Josh Jackson, all three 2nd round picks this year and future first for him. His shot blocking would make us a top 10 defense next year, plus he stretches the floor and allows Stewart to bang down low.Manocad wrote:DET_Athletics wrote:Got an even crazier trade.

Nice looking lineup but I'm always wary about win now moves. I'd much rather let the growth/improvement happen naturally then fill in the needs as you go rather than pushing all in and hoping it works because you've left yourself few alternatives if it doesn't.
