John Hammond signature win.

Buyers at the deadline imo.

Which is funny since he actually had more of a case last season (obviously Freak was the clear choice). This year he'd be 4-5 on my list, personally.

Can we straight up trade Kurucs for Aaron Holiday?

Yes. Indiana will want draft pick compensation added. They're asking for a 1st, they won't get it, and I think they'll settle for a couple 2nds. I wouldn't include the Houston 2nd in the deal, but they can pick from the other 4 we have.

Aaron is available because he's had a rough year, down from last year. I'd like to get away from tiny PGs, but he does have a 6'7" wingspan.

Kurucs could potentially address a need for the Pacers.

This deal would affect the timing of filling out the rest our roster, as it adds over 500K to our salary.

Bucks just a 1/2 game behind the Lakers now. Securing home court advantage could be huge.

Given the political considerations of having Kurucs on your roster, I think he’s got zero value. You need to attach a pick with him.

Was Kurucs even at the game? Almost zero mention of him from anybody outside of one twitter post and one IG post.

Kurucs' next game is going to be in a Maccabi Tel-Aviv/Zenit St. Petersburg jersey most likely

I'm just thinking that Holiday can do with a fresh start, playing with his brother might help and he is decent enough to be inserted for 10-ish minutes ocasionally. We probably won't use Kurucs anyway and given that we expressed interest in Isiah Thomas, I'd rather take Holiday.

I don't disagree with any of this, but just want to point out that Aaron already plays with his brother.

DJ had 8 points, -11 +/-.

I'm predicting a 30/10 game by the end of the year. :lol:

Speaking of Houston, how has Oladipo not been traded yet?

Why did they trade for him instead of Lavert in the first place? I imagine Dipo gets traded again this week but really how big of a package will they get for a dude who just hasn't played that well this year?

I don't think they wanted to keep either, and they probably thought Oladipo would have more value. I'm shocked he isn't gone yet.
