The Run Up to the trade flurry 12/9 to 12/14

[Wizop]

Tonight's box score is wild. Bench won the game with Mathurin plus 34. Starters even or minus.

Would you not want draft assets instead?

The Nets don't have a lot of "draft" assets.

Wasn't the point but Turner is likely worth one first, given the contract situation and the Lakers-Pacers trade talks.

Being on a 1 year contract his value is diminished some. If he keeps up his strong play shooting and blocking shoots, I'd be pretty sure the pacers will give him a renegotiated extension unless he just doesn't want to be here any more.

Problem is that Brooklyn’s simple salary matching piece in Joe Harris has future salary, and still major questions about his return from that ankle injury/multiple surgeries. If Brooklyn builds something without Harris, it gets difficult, as it would require 2 of Clayton, O’Neale, Curry, and Mills, all of whom would be serious contributors that Brooklyn would want to keep (and assign value to on trade), and outside of Clayton and maybe Royce, none are rebuild pieces for the Pacers to have interest. And if you send two of those guys, you’re likely to not be willing to also include a first.

It’s tough making it work.

We're back to last year's pattern of blowing the last 3 minutes.

Positives were Nesmith and Hield shooting Hali with the double double, but disappointing loss. Still 15 wins is more than I expected for the season.
