To Detroit
Jarace Walker





Ivey/Mathurin/og/Barnes/Poetl

Nembhard/toppin

Is a way way more fun team than now. Ivey and Mathurin have huge upside and fit with Scottie. Resign OG.

This is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too rich for Toronto. Getting Nembhard and Mathurin is already pushing it you want Ivey, Toppin whose found his game with Indy and a first? That's highway robbery. Doubt Detroit does this Walker is a great prospect but I think Cade and Ivey figure it out.

Indy definitely doesn't go near this

[BlackThought]

I don't even think Siakam is that good a fit in Indiana because of the emergence of Toppin. With Haliburton's passing ability the Pacers need athletic wings that can finish near the rim and Toppin is perfect for that role. Wiggins although a bit up there in age can still do that and brings defense along with offense. Siakam on the other hand is mainly an on-ball which doesn't mesh well with a dominant PG.

The third trade is mainly to get rid of Poeltl and his contract. Value wise if the Raptors can squeeze a bit more out of the other teams that's great otherwise it's not a big deal. Poeltl optimistically would only yield you a late 1st anyway. On a team with great shooting, Poeltl's ability to set picks and grab off rebounds is very useful. On the Raptors he's not utilized anywhere to his full potential.

How on earth does Toronto turn an unrestricted FA rental into Mathurin, Ivey, Nembhard, Toppin, and an unprotected 1st?!
