I don't think will leave for more $
This Guy don't know what He is saying if You move on from Mathurin or Nembhard The Pacers are Seriously Done.
Saw you at the game last night about 115. Keep up the good work Tony!!
Martin for Mathurin 🙃
Drew is too good a match with Ty to give up. Nesmith and Mathurin overlap too much. One should be traded. Nesmith is on a good contract and Ben has more trade value. Bur Ben's contract will not trade for the clear starting 3 that plays good D that we most need. I'm no expert but only Scottie Barnes and Herb Jones leap to mind as guys that excite me. Scott's gotta be too expensive, so Herb would be a good focus. Ideally we deal a lot out in the exchange and bring home an expiring with Herb to make room for Myles. .
A third team might be required. Obi and Ben plus what ever for a package like Herb Jones and Boucher. Next year we let CB walk and are left with Jones and maybe enough loot for Turner. Somebody want to fix this?
I don’t think anyone is ‘untouchable’ but dude saying they should trade Mathurin is nuts to me tbh
The Pacers are at the point where they need to make consolidation trades. Fans always want to keep all their rotation players, but finances won't allow the team to do that.
The only person I would trade Mathurin for is Booker
Mathurin has improved his defense, he's clearly working on his 3, and can get to the foul line. Spurs would pay far more for Nembhard and we have McConnell to be the backup PG. Nembhard is an amazing defender, but we have Ben Sheppard as well. I'm leaning more toward future picks for the Pacers than personnel. We have so many good players currently that it's a perfect time to stash some future assets.
Siakam had to take a max contract knowing pacers couldn't keep Turner then. Without Turner siakam may not be a Allstar. I think mathern has the highest ceiling on the team. I love Turner but I would let him walk before I lost multiple role players. Bryant could put up turners numbers for a few million. Walker or obi probably has to go. Walker is too good to not play. It's not fair to him.
Now that the Mavs have traded for AD, Turner to Dallas makes more sense.
Myles is from Dallas.
AD is a 30% 3 point shooter and having a floor spacing center could offset that.
Mavs have Centers to send back.
Everybody is an expert
Myles is the exact reason why I wanted to go after Kel'el Ware in the Draft. When I realized he was mocked out of the top 10.. I'd trade Myles. I'd never consider moving Ben Mathurin. This dude has no idea what he's talking about. You can tell he doesn't even watch the Pacers.. smdh. You can say whatever bs you want. It's a lie. I remember back to when Ben had a few blocks in a row. Stealing the ball and getting back in transition to score. Mathurin is already putting up great number's. That's likely to go up to 20ppg next season. If he gets to play enough. Turner's only value is his style. If he's not hitting his 3. He's basically nothing. I can find 2 or 3 guy's to replace him.. I'd scrap Turner and McConnell by the end of 2026.. doesn't make sense to trade away the real rising star talent for a couple mediocre players. Who's biggest positives is our system. Smh.. It would help if they could learn how to draft player's. Could have had G.G. Jackson and Jaylen Wells. Amongst other's.. which were very obvious selections imo.
😂 he said Caleb Martin.. A guy they could have signed for nothing in FA.. Who can't even shoot nowadays.. for Ben Mathurin.. Wow.. smdh. A 1st… lol. You couldn't give me Devin Booker for Ben Mathurin. Or anyone like that. At least come up with an intelligent trade. I can find one for Mathurin if I wanted to. I'm about to become a Grizzlies and OKC fan. They keep playin with my emotions and fn this team around.
Trade Nembhard, Toppin, Wiseman, and a second to Spurs for Barnes, Champagnie, and Spurs (Atlanta’s) 25’ first (currently #10)…
Super interested to see who the Pacers move. I feel like you have to make a decision on Jarace and/or Benn. I would rather keep Jarace and move Benn if it were me, but at some point this team has to make a decision
1st day as a Pacers fan, I'm going through a messy end to my 26 year relationship with the Mavs. Is there an application process or anything? Can I just come on over?
Trade…
Toppin
Nesmith
Sheppard
2nd round pick
For Booker
None of those guys can create their own shot anyway without a system play. Booker can score on his own
1. Hali
2. Booker
3. Mathurin
4. Siakam
5. Turner
Here's an idea to gain some sort of extra cash and a good back-up plan incase they do decide to sign and trade Turner later on.
IND gets
S.Adams
A.Thompson
C.Whitmore
HOU gets
O.Toppin
A.Nesmith
B.Mathurin
With this move Walker will be the sole 4 in team and can somehow still play the 3 if needed. A.Thompson will be your starting 3 and can definitely bring the defense which Nesmith brings and be a good rebounder to compensate the weak rebounding of Turner.
Personally S.Adams is very very solid 5. Whether he be the starting 5 next year or plays the back-up 5 now and slide Bryant at the 4 incase Walker doesn't develops.
Basically I'm betting on Walker to be a future star than Mathurin, at the same time, personally A.Thompson has a better upside than Mathurin.
