Benn Mathurin trades (Rockets and Pels)

[8305]

Feels like Mathurin could have a big year for Indiana. No pressure, clearly a mini-tank since they have their pick back.

Let Math cook and I’m sure you could could get 20-22ppg on average efficiency — you’re just sacrificing a little smart defense and a lot of ball movement. Might up his value into “young DeMar DeRozen” territory.

Or yeah, call Weaver/Dumars. Who knows what they’d do. Weaver chose Ivey over Math in the draft, but I know he scouted him hard. I don’t see similar levels of idiocy in Houston, so I doubt that works as well.

The young DeMar DeRozen comp is interesting. In a best case scenario DeRozen with a three point shot and the swagger of Jimmy Butler. Certainly an interesting player but, the fit with the Pacers?
Can Pacers get a young center for that archetype?

No team should consider employing both Mathurin and Whitmore at the same time.

Oh, I forgot, Indy already has a secret tank weapon!

If you’re winning too much, just find an excuse to play Wiseman for extended minutes for a while. Casual fans will get to see some impressive dunks and some jumpers and will have no idea why the team is suddenly getting routed consistently.

We won't tank and Carlisle has a short leash.
