Even though he torched us, I always respected his game and how he handles hinseif. I would like to see him do well. I thought he was the best player in the league. If he can defend in space he can be a good one. PS His twin hasn’t developed as quickly but I expect him to be really tough next year.

I’d generally say 27 unprotected could be very valuable but knowing the Lakers even after Lebron and AD are gone they might just end up with cap space and sign the best free agents. We can do much better…I do want us to make moves though. No reason to not get something for our vets and allow us to go young…get them experience…and tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least the intrigue of watching the young guys grow will make it more entertaining then watching old guys suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how the lakers can get kyrie if they give up a 1st to the pacers. Really any team that takes Westbrook off their books should get the 2 future 1sts.

Lakers issues are defensively…no matter what they do they are just too old and too slow. Heild would help balance the floor shooting and they would have to move Westbrook to the bench to have any chance at a playoff birth…but I just don’t see the team staying healthy and gelling to do anything special. Pelicans are sitting on a gold mine imo. Between Lakers and Bucks picks and young talent they have built up…they will be able to go out and trade for a championship caliber piece or will have drafted one by then. Very dangerous team in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what value THT has…he can’t shoot, not a great defender, and has a bad contract. I’m not giving up Heild for that. Plus he is a guard and does nothing to help our log jam at the 2. Pacers need a legit long athletic 6’7-6’9 wing. How we find them is anyones guess. Edited July 22, 2022 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) If we are talking trade returns id love to target Patrick Williams in Chicago. If we were to send say Myles to Chicago that would be nice. (Maybe throw in Boston pick) They seem to be in a win now window. Move for a guy like Moody in GS. Toronto needs a center so Anunoby (who finds himself in a crowded wing with the addition of Otto Porter on top of Barnes and Siakam) for Myles…would make sense. Or maybe Myles to Pelicans for Murphy (Hayes and Nance as salary fillers). Shooting is always a premium so I think moving Heild either this year or next for a bad contract with a contender and a draft pick will be easy…but getting value for Turner now is really important since he will be a free agent. Gotta target a team that is playoff ready that can use a rim protector now. Edited July 22, 2022 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s shown flashes and with his wingspan could develop into a good wing defender. He also played at Iowa State with Haliburton. He’s got upside to try and develop this year when you aren’t looking to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Bob Kravitz said today that the Pacers and Lakers talks have died down again. If the Lakers decide to add a second first round pick then the deal would likely get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Lakers decide to add a second first round pick then the deal would likely get done. I am bit skeptical of this trade to be honest. If the trade improves the Lakers as much as they assume/anticipate, the Lakers 1st round pick(s) would be pretty low. There's got to be something else preventing the trade or the Lakers interest isn't has high as the rumors suggest. But I suppose the Lakers could be worried about starting a complete rebuild with ZERO first round picks, I am pretty sure the most recent one they still own is 2026. I don't really see the Pacers sticking with this one. They could get lower 1st rounders from other teams without taking on a huge contract.

Makes me proud to watch Cody, Vic, Anunoby, Yogi, Thomas Bryant, Juwan Morgan etc. Wish we had more sustained success. But in hindsight, Tom Crean really brought in some major character guys to Bloomimgton, and into to the NBA. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 I watched part of the ESPYS this week and it reminded me of when Peyton was the host and he roasted Durant. 5 years later nothing has changed and Durant is still in biggest P in all of sports. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
