KoB2011 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Great trade for the Pacers. Haliburton, Duarte, Hield, Smith, and Turner could be a fun lineup next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a great trade. The Celtics picked two spots behind the Kings in the 2020 draft and Haliburton was the guy I wanted. Was hoping with the Kings already having Fox that he might fall another spot or two, but no dice and we ended up with Aaron Nesmith instead.

I do think the Pacers need to make a bother more or two, either now or in the off-season, to move on from Turner and/or Brogdon. If the Pacers do this smart they can have a shorter rebuild than a lot of teams experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'm not a knowledgeable NBA guy at all by any means but this one looks good, right? Transition to shooting/faster pace team is the goal here right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Pacers have after these initial moves are assets and flexibility. That's what you need in a rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Pritchard better be gone next week with everyone else. Pritchard made a great deal. It was the right move to make getting a possible franchise player in Haliburton. Sabonis wasn’t a franchise player. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Mavs perspctive, they could use him if he could get on the court this year to replace Hardaway's scoring. I wouldn't give a first because he could walk for nothing plus they can't trade their 1st until 2025.. A couple of seconds maybe. If the Pacers are moving on from Sabonis and Turner, Powell would match his salary and is a good bench player and vet to mix in with young guys for a year. RC has a lot of history with Powell. I think they just asked about McCollum but I don’t think there was ever anything serious there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jabari Smith is the best player in this draft do I would say he is more of a Hakeem Oluguwan of this draft. I see 4 really good players in this draft and there is a drop off after those 4. I am afraid that the Pacers will get like the 5th pick. I am not really that high on Holmgren ad well because I have seen the Pacers picking guys like Haskins, Hansborough, Plummer and Goga.

Ivey could play with those other 2. The Pacers don’t need to focus on a certain position with that pick. The later picks that’s fine but not the first one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
