Donte+Nwora+Brook for Turner. IND gets wild. Roll the dice on DDV and Nwora...they'll probably get paid though..

Read on Twitter

He was pretty average before his suspension and didn't play professionally during his 2 years of absence. I doubt he's good enough.

I can understand to a degree where people are coming from in their lusting for Myles, a big that can shoot and protect the rim, but honestly I think both brook and Donte are better basketball players than Turner. Perhaps that’s an outdated take, but I still think much of the intrigue around Turner is theoretical.

I get we’d be trading two injury concerns for a player who fits the mold where very few others across the league can fit, but scarcity being the best argument for Turner doesn’t put him over the top for me especially when you consider Turner has had his own injury issues throughout his career.

I think the idea of Turner is better than what Turner actually is. Brook is just as good, and I wouldn't want to attach another good player in Donte for a longer term fit when we can definitely win a chip this year.

Is Turner better than Brook today, I lean towards yes. Do we know if Brook will be back, TBD. Are we going to pay Donte? Probably not. Turner is on a 2 yr expiring the same as Brook. Our window is now and we need help at the BIG spot given the uncertainty. I'm rolling with getting Turner. If you told me with Brook would be back this year, I'd probably think about it...just too much uncertainty, roll with Turner see if IND wants to gamble on Nwora/Donte. There's def better packages out there i bet, but you never know.

Eh I think Turner is better than Brook now, will probably further improve while Brook will definately decline, will cost less than Brook + DDV next year (assuming Donte gets market value) and will probably have more trade value going forward than DDV + Brook. Besides, there's no way Indiana is trading Turner for those two, especially given their current health predicament.

For what it's worth, I think Brook is better, at least for us (when healthy). But I worry that we no longer will see that player again after back surgery. That's got to take a major toll on a 7 footer. Turner has been up and down in his career, but I think the appeal is he's younger, and could still have some untapped potential in a bud system.

But it's all a moot point as I don't think we have anything the Pacers will be looking for.

People have mentioned this, but a DDV for Bamba trade actually makes a lot of sense for both parties. Don't think ORL will pay Bamba given that Okeke has been playing well and long term with Issac coming back it's kind of weird. DDV would be a lot cheaper than Bamba IMO. Harris comes off the books and then Ross next year, DDV could be a nice piece going forward with those guards they have. A more defensive oriented guard. DDV could transition nicely, ORL could see what they get from DDV for the rest of the year before making a decision.

No part of me believes that this is a true rumor, and i havent been able to find it on social, but im wondering if anyone else heard this or knows anything in addition.

Will it into existence.

Maybe they were discussing that last year (before Bridges broke out), but no way that conversation is happening now. Bridges has been a fringe all-star this year while Donte hasn't played a minute and has never been even remotely mistaken for an all-star.

The primary reason I think you'd have to consider Turner over Brook wouldn't be that he's amazingly better than him or anything like that. It's that he's 8 years younger. He'd be a great piece to have through the rest of Giannis' prime.

To be fair, it was a random caller throwing it out there, not the hosts.

Spoiler:

Buddy your post is like politicians' propaganda.
You are actually a really smart guy.
My past Rubio quotes were my thoughts about him as our Primary-Starter- Point guard. Now I would want him as a backup PG at this stage of his career and at current age since he shoots the 3 way better than his early years. There is a reason why so many teams trade him. I think at this stage of his career he could be tons better than Hill as a backup. That doesn't contradict to my old posts ... when I was so against to get him as our Future PG. I would gladly take a risk for him now to provide me some backup playmaking.
In any case , I loved your post , it reminded how passionate I was with my arguments.

If Portis is the long term Lopez replacement though than idk if ownership wants long term money in an additional big man.

They aren't going to add significant money for anyone at any position. Bobby will get Brook's salary slot and that'll be about it.

Turner isn't really worth talking about. Theyve got Brogdon and they just drafted Duarte. I can't see DDV being a draw.

I’m hoping LED allows a Connaughton extension at least.

Can’t see us choosing Donte over Pat if it’s one or the other.

Yeah I'm assuming Guannis' buddy stays on maybe a small rise.

No thanks to Myles Turner. Let’s just wait for Brook to get back and beast in the playoffs. He’s miles better than any of the alternatives you guys are proposing.

I say let Donte and Brook get healthy and go for the chip again. We’ve got so much talent and chemistry. Why mess with it? The only thing I would try to do is to replace Semi with a semi decent wing as a buyout. Maybe could be convinced to deal Donte for one. But not Brook.
