Well, only if we can acquire Marshon Brooks for a future first rounder. I doubt they'll be interested in Indiana's future pick though. Could be looking at teams with a good chance to go near or lottery-bound.

Well the clippers are far from lottery bound; and they were reportedly willing to deal Brooks to them for their first. I would think the Pacers pick would be similar to the clippers pick.

Theoretically, yes. In all reality, probably not. We don't seem to be the type of franchise that wants to help other teams build a GREAT core that we would have to overcome for the next 5 or more years.

The Clippers are in the opposite conference as well. The Nets may not be as excited about sending Brooks to an in-conference (and possible playoff) opponent.

Good point. But are they really looking at the Clips? I mean, they could surely get a higher pick for Brooks.
