That's a solid core. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hope Ivey is still around at 6. As long as he doesn’t go to the Kings I’m good tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade Brogdon/6th pick and either Duarte or a future 1st for Kings pick at 4 and take Ivey? 2.) Draft one of Ivey(doubt he's there at 6), Murray, Mathurin, Sharpe and trade Brogdon to either Wizards or Knicks for picks 10 or 11. Then select one of Griffin, Sochan, Daniels. I think Ivey will be good, really good, especially if he can nail down a consistent jumper. I'd lean option 2 as it has a safer floor BUT Pacers never are this high in lottery so I feel as if they NEED to take the risk and if Ivey becomes a good role player then they tried. I do not think there is much of a drop off from the group of Ivey, Murray, or Mathurin. Sharpe is a major wild card but knowing my Pacers, they'll end up with Sharpe somehow Option 2. Have to get rid of Brogdon regardless. Edited June 23, 2022 by Stlboiler23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacto is going to draft him if they want him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celtics took Kelly Olynyk at #13, two spots ahead of Giannis! Remember, Tatum and Brown were taken with Brooklyn's picks a couple years later, so even getting Giannis would not have stopped the Celtics from still getting Tatum and Brown. 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I guess he can refuse to report, but 1) I'm not sure Jaden Ivey has that kind of pull and 2) when was the last time an NBA draft pick did that?

Other team's general managers/presidents didn't have the stones, foresight, or eye for talent that Red Auerbach did. And they also don't have the 16 NBA Championships Red had a hand in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board said that they couldn't afford Bird because they knew he would be very good and would want more money. None of the guys on the board were basketball people. Slick was livid. He went to Terre Haute about a dozen times to see Bird before the draft. This was all right after the Leonard's had the telethon to save the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
