If Sacramento trades Fox, do you think the Kings blow it up? That would make DeRozan at 23 million available. Considerably more reasonably priced than Jimmy Butler. Nesmith is 11 million of that if we feel that we've been playing well enough without him. Walker, and IJAX salaries put us 1.6 million away from an even trade money wise. Start Haliburton, Nembhard, DeRozan, Siakam, Turner. Backup McConnell, Mathurin, Sheppard, Toppin, Bryant. Still leaves you Wiseman next year to see what we can get from him.
Mathurin wont be coming off the bench. He's too good now and Ben can drop 30 at anytime…
Don't trade youth for age
All of minutes of walker and some minutes of shep will go to nesmith.
Very intersting to have mcconel, shep, nesmith,obi and bryant for 2nd unit. Nesmith scores will go up.
They really dont like the trades. Right now cam jhonson is the best but turner will no way will be resigned which for me better to resign than getting cam johnson especially now centers like turner is needed.
I’m not impressed with Mathurin. He likes to dribble between his legs without even moving. He catches passes with space to shoot but seems to have to dribble first and then the space is gone. He continues to drive into trouble. He misses wide open layups. I really look forward to Nesmith coming back. He is a vastly better defender, he is not a ball stopper and likely a better shooter. Plus he doesn’t complain to the refs all the time.
Do the Pacers also trim Tyrese and Pascal minutes closer to last year's minutes to stay healthy throughout season?
Next 6 games are the big boys! This stretch of 6 will tell us ALOT!!!!!!
All these trade ideas seem kind of interesting. But i think pacers should stay put. The depth will come in handy for playoffs. The chemistry of the team will make this team.
Some of us don’t get to spend time with family and these holiday episodes have helped. Thanks T.
Quality content every single time. Thanks Tone Loc!
If the Heat blow it up post-Jimmy, we should move mountains to get Bam. Ty, Pascal, Bam, Nembhard could be a championship core. I would ship Obi, Mathurin and Turner for him, for example.
I'm on the trade Nesmith in a deal that creates room next season bandwagon.
I want no parts of a 35 year old Jimmy Butler at the cost it would take (trade and new contract)
