Sabonis would really be a good get

Imagine if okc had drafted him.....

Justin Holiday could be had for a third string PG if I was GM.

He's actually the one starter I would shop hard.

We have enough of a sample size to know what he is - A borderline all-star in a good year, not a franchise maker, and a questionable defender.

Yet, his statistical track record is glitzy enough that he'd likely fetch us the most value. If the Pacers are still well under .500 a month from now you absolutely have to pull the trigger.

Y'all some assholes....lol

Sabonis, Levert, Turner would be good for teams on the cusp.

But, the guy I would want MOST isn't trade eligible.

Brogdon.

Brogdon is in the purgatory/rebuild for the long haul.

That's the one guy they should keep.

They already can't trade Brogdan until this summer.

Warren and Lamb can both be had, i get finally moving turner.

But I'm not sure what they do. They're really stuck in the middle and OK with it. I think I read they haven't picked in the top 10 since they 80s. That's by design.

LOL The reason I said trade Sabonis is because there's not ideal trade value to be had with LeVert and Turner.

Moving Turner, Lamb, and Warren just for the sake of making a trade and taking on a worse contract is especially counterproductive.

Wolves need Turner

Wolves need Turner

Jarrett Culver was the piece I would have wanted but you guys dealt him for Bev.

I just don’t think the Timberwolves as currently constructed have the pieces the Pacers would want for Turner, unless you’re crazy enough to deal Anthony Edwards…

Man.

This post shows total lack of awareness of player value.

Culver has the look of a bust. It is his 3rd season in the league and he is barely in the rotation for the Grizzlies. He is still young enough to improve, but not going to command a whole lot on the trade block.

Edwards on the other hand, is a burgeoning star on a rookie contract. Of course the Wolves aren’t trading him!

And if they did, it would be for a legit star to pair with KAT.

Mentioning these two players in the same post as possible trade targets for Turner is just bonkers.

A first rounder along with Culver and an expiring contract like Prince may have been enough to entice the Pacers. As they currently stand, what else do they have in terms of trade value? Jaden McDaniels? The answer is nothing…

You said in your post that Jarret Culver was “the piece you wanted”.

To me, that reads that he would be the focal point of a Myles Turner trade.

Maybe that isn’t what you meant, but it sure looks that way from what you wrote.

And at this point, a late lotto first has significantly more trade value than Culver.

Culver is still an asset because of his youth and rookie salary, but he won’t be for long if he doesn’t step up.

when the Cavs dealt for Rubio there was talk about the Cavs also maybe getting Culver but they didnt want the contract. His value is pretty nil at this point supposedly.

i liked him in the draft but at this point he has prettty much no value. He is only 22 so by no means is he totally done for- but he is definitely a "bust" at this point.

at least 40% of top 10 picks are busts though. Getting a starter is no guarantee in the top 10- but those picks obviously have TREMENDOUS value because you can hit on your next all star (obviously).
