Well.. I guess he was gone anyway so it's not a bad deal for the Pacers but still..


Even I appreciate Reggie for doing his entire career in Indy. Sucks that this kind of turnover will probably be the Pacers' norm for awhile. I don't blame you for not wanting to buy anything new. These players and the FO don't deserve your patronage beyond mere viewership (and that's if you wanna continue doing that much).

Bonus props to Reggie in that Magic Johnson, his idol, tried to recruit him to the Lakers in the Summer of 92(?) and he stuck with it in Indy.

Bruh, the 30 for 30 on the OKC Trio is gonna be sooo epic. Their careers forever intertwined.

Good point. That's very interesting.

If you're Houston, would you rather have Oladipo or LeVert?

I would've thought LeVert was the play, but maybe Oladipo is more of a sure-thing and/or the age timeline better matches? Or is it just the contract terms for the owner.


Oladipo is a better "Win-now" piece, which the Rockets need to do since OKC owns all of our picks so we can't tank. That, coupled with the expiring contract which saves the owner money really is what makes the swap a no-brainer from the Houston side, even if LeVert is a better player in the long-term.

Its a good deal but this is essentially 8 first round picks they're giving up pretty much.

8 firsts though, thats a lot. Houston actually came out of this ok to be honest. Oladipo + Exum and picks is pretty decent. The Cav's somehow got really good value out of this (Jarrett Allen is a fantastic get for them for only Exum, i'm salty we didn't come in and do something similar cause jarrett allen would be fantastic for us).

No idea what Indiana are doing, then again maybe as a first option he'll lift to be a 25PPG first option given how he's played in more limited minutes for the Nets.

That Houston backcourt is brutal for outside shooting. Nets might get a ring or two of the deal so good for them but they desperately need to do some followup moves.

Harden required to jog to Brooklyn to shed the pounds, per sources.

Rockets got hosed. Picks in the late 1st round and Oladipo for an ATG?


Yeah....I want EVERY Houston poster that said other offers were crap to eat it. Trades like Wiggins, Wiseman, two future picks were laughed at...mocked.

So now you get a recently injured player and low first round picks forever lol.

EVERYONE...take note. Players that demand a trade do NOT get equal value back EVER!

I'd put good money on Houston letting Dipo/Exum walk this offseason. Fertitta has a repeater tax coming his way if he doesn't shed some $ and that guy can't afford to keep the lights on in the arena.

Oladipo was likely gone after this season and they got a more consistent outside shooter so I like it for the Pacers.

Somebody should tell the Wizards.

Mahinmi? Washed.

Dedmon? Done.

Noah? Lol.

I'd also say that without assets the ship of trading for somebody midseason has kind of sailed wouldn't you say?

FYI

Nets @ Rockets on March 3rd is the final game on our 1st half schedule.

I KNEW deep down the league did it on purpose. I think this was always going to happen since the first round of rumors.

We have the Tax Payers MLE and DPE is expected to be announced soon for $5M for Dinwiddie’s injury. The Nets could go out and find a buyout candidate eventually.

Forever? You expect the Nets to still be good 5 years from now? Are you even sure they will good in 22-23? All 3 are FAs in 22. Kyrie and KD have bounced on their first 2 teams.

Owning almost a decade of a teams picks is great value. The Warriors were world beaters 2 years ago and ended up with the number 2 pick last year. The Rockets are likely going to get multiple lottery picks out of this.
