I like it although I'd like to add more protection to our 2019 1st or remove it altogether. Keep in mind Jackson has negative trade value so it would detract from Drummond's declining value not too mention the Pacers take on a bit more annual salary. That's not the problem but what could be problematic is that they would take on in excess of $100 million in overall salary. If our 2019 pick lands outside the lottery then I'd be cool with it.
Are you thinking to play Turner more at the 4 than the 5?
As Asitter mentioned Turner and Drummond have varying strengths and weaknesses that seem to match up well. Myles played primarily at PF his rookie season and based off his production it is conceivable he could play the 4 again. With this package the obvious hope would be for Jax and Andre to revert back to 2015-16 form. Furthermore PG & Jax are friends so it is possible that a move like this could entice PG to stay the course.
My thoughts exactly. I see Turner as the 4, but still the primary rim defender on D. A lineup of:
Jackson
Robinson
George
Turner
Drummond
would be an improvement over 2017, assuming Jackson and Drummond return to 2016 form.
