dwtaylor1055 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 According to J. Michael(Pacers beat writer for the Indy Star) its reported that Pacers are not parting with Aaron Holiday in ANY deal unless they are extremely blown away(obtaining Conley is not a blown away offer). His name was constant in just about every trade discussion that opposing teams wanted but the Pacers would decline any option that he was included in, the Pacers believe he's the future of this team and can be an All-Star level.

NotIThatLives Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm calling smoke and mirrors on the Turner and 18 for the #4. Just trying to drum up a bigger offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Nothing but gut feel, but Boston suddenly with a ton of cap room and still loaded with future draft picks makes me think they're going to be the recipient of a sign and trade.

Of those last 4 deals, the Clipper's acquisition of Galinari was a good one, seriously helped that team -- to see how rare that's becoming is interesting for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say, the prospects after the few 2-3 are, on what we know, hard to separate. Some team may pick Garland, which to me seems silly on what he's shown - very little. Hunter looks pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that there's lots of guys to like but no one that's going to start on your team next year or any guaranteed guy in the years to come. I like rui, culver and Hunter. Just off the top of my head. No sense in getting rid of Turner and a puck for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to single you out here, but I’m kind of confused on why Barrett seems to be getting short shrift compared to Zion and Morant (although I obviously think Zion is the better prospect). The kid averaged 22-7-4... According to ESPN, that’s never been done by a freshman in college basketball history. He’s exactly the kind of scoring wing who can switch 1-4 on defense that is the most valuable position in the league these days. Think of the best point guards in the league right now, then think of the best wings. Who would you rather build your team around? I’m surprised Barrett isn’t getting more consideration at #2.

I agree, that’s why I mentioned him. As I recall he started out really strong and the early talk was he may be better than Zion. Then he fell off a bit, can’t remember if he had an injury but I think he did, anyway he fell off some and Zion took off, but he has the potential to be really good.

He was really good but it was over a really small sample size, then missed the season. On what he showed - great handle with high level shooting, he’s what you want in a point. But I just can’t take that small of a sample size and draft him that high. That said he apparently has impressed in workouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front runners are Toronto on a 1+1 or the Clippers long term. I can’t see Kawhi, with 2 Finals MVP’s, going to play 3rd star to LeBron and Davis.

The other issue is that they’re just not going to have the money to add a player like Kawhi — it’s looking like they’re only going have about $24M in cap space, while the truly elite players command around $32M-$35M per year. No superstar is gonna take a $10M haircut to play second fiddle to LeBron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lakers were engaging additional teams on Tuesday to take on the contracts of three of the remaining four players on the team's roster -- Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones -- league sources said. Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James are the only other two Lakers remaining on the team's end-of-season roster.
