From what we saw last night that request is more likely to backfire and you'll end up with that avy.

Looks like a mini-Ant Edwards.

I’m correct that we essentially traded the ability to draft Mathurin in exchange for the ability to sign Brunson, right?

I could be sold on that plan if it were part of a coordinated effort to do a full teardown and tank this year. I presume you mean with RWB coming back.

Absolutely.

Trade Brunson to a destination of his choice as well, unless he gets hurt or agrees to some heavy load management.

Ship Fournier too.

I'd monitor Rose as well. I like him as a locker room presence, and his game seems to have declined so he may not be the level of player who impacts winning like he was two years ago. Otherwise ship him to a contender before the trade deadline.

I agree this would need to be a full teardown with a clear purpose. One move wouldn't be enough.

I'm not sure I'd even have the stomach to go through a teardown for more than a year or two. But I think it would make sense at this juncture for this franchise. Hopefully they can pull a rabbit out of their hat. Or, as you said, one of our players makes a star leap.


I could do it. I've been here this long. The problem, as you know, is they go one way and then another. So hopefully their acumen on one or more of these young guys pays.

Assuming they don't go full tank, which I assume, I'm hoping whoever made the Hart move has some clout. Those are the kind of moves they have needed to be doing for awhile. Frankly... regardless of whether he pans, Cam type moves are too. Cheap value plays.


It's kind of funny to see you guys actually talking about stuff like trading Brunson when you already know beyond any doubt that none of this will ever happen

I’m probably jumping the gun but to me he looks better than Edwards or at least how Edwards did after 2 games in his career. Don’t know how old BM is and don’t want to check. But that’s also the player he reminded me of. Or Lebron. I didn’t scout the guy

But also no we couldn’t have drafted him, we had the 11th pick and he was selected 6th. Some may argue we should have tanked more or traded up instead of out. But those are the only ways

No, he went 6th, he was a riser in the draft and left our range early in that process.

Mathurin was not available at our pick. We would have had to give up additional capital.

That assuming the Pacers wouldn't have been opened to trading to that pick to us. I highly doubt they were.
