Would Pacers fans take this deal? Assume that Earl Watson will re-sign in Indy.
DET Trades Ben Gordon and #7 draft pick
IND Trades TJ Ford and Roy Hibbert and #10 pick
Watson - Price
Gordon - Jones - Rush
Granger - Dunleavy
Murphy - Hansbrough - McRoberts
Pick #7 - Foster - Jones

I think we'd have to keep our #10 in that.

What if we switched Roy for Troy, and kept our pick, that'd have to be worth it to us.

So we could pay Gordon's bloated contract instead? I'd prefer to be smart with our money instead of pissing it away like Detroit did last summer.

Ben Gordon isn't what we want in that deal. The pick is what we want. Ben Gordon is just filler.

Okay drop Hibbert from the deal. I didn't realize he was still looked at as a commodity in Indiana.
DET Trades Ben Gordon and #7 draft pick
IND Trades TJ Ford and Solomon Jones or Josh McRoberts (your pick) and #10 pick
Watson - Price
Gordon - Jones - Rush
Granger - Dunleavy
#7 pick - Murphy - Hansbrough
Foster - Hibbert - Jones/McRoberts

You want us to take on Ben Gordon's contract we aren't giving you our pick, it will cost you your lotto pick, IMO.

that only makes sense if the Pacers are in love with a player that they think will be available at 7 and gone at 10. I don't think that's the case as our biggest need is at point and after Wall (and Turner if you think he's a one) there isn't a point that will go that high.

1. Coming to America....yes
2. To who said Ben Gordon would "just be filler" in that trade. That contract is doo-doo, I would want this year's 1st and next year's 1st to take that contract back.

I might bend and do a Gordon/#7 for Ford/#10. Ford is about worthless to us, and Gordon is at least a good offensive player. We would still need a tall PG to play next to Gordon, especially defensively, but Gordon would allow Granger to play more defense while Gordon adds to the offensive repertoire.
