Important consideration

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

I like Nembhard's well-roundedness more. He's their Derrick White.

Based on watching a couple of Pacers' games early in the season, when both Nembhard and Nesmith were out and the team D looked inept, I'd say:

Yes

I like them both! Why do I have to choose? And the Pacers certainly won't choose, but will keep them both.

I'd choose Nembhard. Nembhard is locked in on a below value contract, and fills a bunch of roles that are often really hard to fill, so while Nesmith is a really good 3+D player, there are dozens of similar players, and only a handful of guys like Nembhard in the league.
In a no-win argument, the first poster to Let It Go will at least retain some peace of mind

Before deciding I'd need to Sia Kam.
