I like PG comming back, but i don't give up 2 picks and a young talent for a player that can leave in free agency.

we better take Markannen and play siakam as Small forward

This is probably not the site to get a salary cap education but I'm gonna ask anyways. In this case I wish to focus on the pacers/raptors as my example. Some say why would a team trade a young prospect they are high on to acquire Siakam from the raps when they can get him for nothing in free agency. When I look at the pacer payroll the only path I see to acquire a max player in free agency is to (not sure the term to use but) give up their rights to at minimum Buddy Heild and Bruce Brown (meaning drop them for zero return)? Therefore the following options seem to make at least as much sense especially if you factor in developmental playing time opportunities for below mentioned prospects.

Option 1- Buddy OR Bruce (main salary fill)+ Obi Toppin OR Jalen Smith + Benny Matherin
For Pascal Siakam.

Option 2- Buddy OR Bruce + Jarace Walker + Aaron Nesmith for Pascal Siakam.

I won't haggle over picks (or lack there of) at this point as that would be just the final detail to push the real deal over the top. Also open roster spots have been left out as other players could be added or deleted to make such details work.
Acquiring Siakams bird rights could be a very valuable future asset to the pacers at some point and time down the road and you DONT get them thru free agency. There is always a flight risk but honestly if your gonna offer him a max deal anyways on a competitive team I just don't see it there. Losing Buddy and Bruce fer zilch to create necessary cap space also isn't free. Where's the logic in keeping players like Jarace who don't get minutes now let alone after signing said free agent. Obi (RFA) and Jalen (Player Option) would also see diminished minutes and could easily jump ship for nothing as well. It then becomes the question would one of either Matherin or Nesmith be worth the value of Pascals bird rights? Please enlighten me. Thanks eh.

Dumping salary is easy. My Hawks dumped John Collins who has 75 million left at 25 million per year. The issue is finding a team with a yearly cap space amount willing to take on the players. As far siakim he is threatening not to sign with a team that trades for him because he wants to choose his own team. I doubt if he would resign with the pacers.

12 Jan 2024 19:26:17
WAS/NOP

WAS get Larry Nance & Kira Lewis

NOP get Tyus Jones

Tyus Jones is underrated, he can be that role guy, pass first point guard that can complete their starting five. One more guy I'm thinking is TJ McConnell but Pacers have an injured Haliburton so they'd be hesitant to giveup that guy. Pels can add a 2nd as sweetener

Pg Jones/Alvarado
Sg McCollum/Daniels
Sf Ingram/Murphy
Pf Zion/Jones/Marshall
Ce Valanciunas/Zeller

12 Jan 2024 23:53:43
Washington needs more motivation to do this.

09 Jan 2024 09:07:53
Pacers:M Bridges
Lakers: B Hield
Nets:Russell+ 1rnd pick Indy 24-26+ 1rnd pick Hou/clip 24+ 1rnd pick 29 Lakers

09 Jan 2024 10:20:40
Why would the Lakers give a 1st for Hield.

07 Jan 2024 16:55:34
Pacers: J Grant+ T Camara+D Murray
Port:Mathurin+McConnell+ 1rnd pick Hou/clip+swap option 25
Atl: J Walker+B Hield+ 1rnd pick Indy 24-26

Pacers:
C:Turner/Jackson
PF:Grant/Toppin/Smith
SF:Camara/Nesmith
SG:Murray/Brown
PG:Haliburton/Nemhard

08 Jan 2024 20:35:22
What does Indy's cap situation look like next year when Murray's & Halliburton extensions kick in?

12 Jan 2024 11:45:08
You must be a pacers fan because generally when a person list the roster of only 1 team within a 3 team trade and the other 2 teams are fleeced no way hawks give up Murray for a pick and buddy shield. Lol.

06 Jan 2024 11:48:16
Memphis:Wiggins
Pacers:Smart
GS:B Hield+ 2rnd pick Memphis+2rnd pick Indy

06 Jan 2024 21:17:04
Golden State isn't getting picks back for Wiggins, given how he has been playing and his contract.

06 Jan 2024 22:57:36
Memphis just paid two 1sts and Tyus Jones for Smart. Hield and a 2nd isn't close.

05 Jan 2024 09:47:14
Tor: M Turner

Pacers:Mobley+Boucher+D Wade

Cle:J Walker+G Dick+Nwora+ 1rnd pick Pacers 24+ 1rnd pick Hou/Clip 24+ 1rnd pick Tor 26

05 Jan 2024 14:27:29
As much as I would love to see this I can’t begin to understand why the Cavs would even consider it?!

30 Dec 2023 10:34:43
1) Pacers-Cleveland-Bulls
Pacers:Caruso+Mobley
Bulls: J Walker
Cleveland: Toppin+ 1rnd pick Indy 24-26 + 1rnd pick Por 24 (top 14 protected)+ 2rnd pick Bulls 27+ swap option 1rnd pick Indy 25

2) Pacers-Tor
Pacers:Anunoby
Tor: Mathurin+ Hield+Sheppard+ 1rnd pick Clip/Hou/OKC 24

Pacers:
C:Turner/Jackson
PF:Mobley/Smith
SF:Anunoby/Nesmith
SG:Brown/Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/Caruso

30 Dec 2023 14:18:49
Cleveland won't trade Mobley, and if they did they'd get more.

30 Dec 2023 16:11:21
Yup that offer for Mobley can be easily beaten by the Thunder or Spurs.

28 Dec 2023 01:20:22
I'm the Pacers in a mock, this is the trade I want to go for:

Brown, Toppin, Walker, Nwora, MIA 2025 2nd, IND 2024 1st, IND 2026 protected 1st for

Siakam, Porter, and Temple

Then the roster looks something like:

Turner/Smith
Siakam/Nesmith
Porter/Mathurin
Hield/Nembhard
Hali/McConnell

Thoughts? Am I giving too much or too little for Siakam?

28 Dec 2023 03:42:16
One extremely raw, unproved rookie in Walker with damn few NBA minutes to a roster full of same length non shooters is no where near enough “prospect” for your best player if I’m Masai. The rest is nothing more than contract fill and picks. Pacers improve immediately, raptors maybe never with this mindset.

28 Dec 2023 14:06:46
ok then as the Pacers I'm doing my job correctly. Thoughts, Gasupo? :)

28 Dec 2023 22:48:39
As the Pacers, it would be a steal.

As the Raptors, zero chance they even think about this deal.

If, and that's a big IF, they choose to trade Siakim, they will get a lot more for him, and it will most likely be a S&T.

29 Dec 2023 12:04:48
I trow in Mathurin+ Hield+ 1rnd pick Clip or Hou+ pick swap 25 for Anunoby

C:Turner/ Jackson
PF:Siakam/ Smith
Sf:Anunoby/ Nesmith/ Porter
SG:Brown/ Sheppard
PG:Haliburton/ Nembhard/ Temple

I believe that this is a well balanced team on offence and defense, so they could be an outsider for the title.

29 Dec 2023 18:02:15
Definitely anti raptor here.

30 Dec 2023 10:36:20
Siakam is a free agent and Anunoby can opt out his contract.
So that's a good offer if Toronto wants to rebuilt.

30 Dec 2023 13:40:17
Would sooner let them walk them take on these contracts.

30 Dec 2023 13:56:12
Only a few teams will have the cap space to sign them outright. Raptors can offer them more than any other team in free agency AND will have leverage if s&t required. So “attention Kmart shoppers”, Masai and Bobby have proved many times over they will NOT trade unless receiving what THEY perceive as value. If there isn’t a “giants of Africa” alum, old mentor who can ride the pine, positional need prospect or previous raptor draft pick being dangled, they will likely follow the Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, steady Freddie “tried, tested and not so true” plan and let them walk.

24 Dec 2023 22:12:05
Pacers:J Grant+ M Bridges
Port: B Hield+ 1rnd pick Indy 24
Nets: Mathurin+ J Walker+ McCollum+ 1rnd pick OKC (or Hou/Clip)

Pacers:
C:Turner/Jackson
PF:Grant/Toppin/Smith
SF:Bridges/Nesmith
SG:Brown/Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/Sheppard

25 Dec 2023 01:24:16
Mccollum? Are we living in 2018?

25 Dec 2023 20:12:38
*McConnell.

26 Dec 2023 03:03:13
So not enough for Mikal Bridges.

26 Dec 2023 10:37:53
Not enough?
two young talents that were drafted in the lottery and a 1rnd pick should be enough for Bridges.

26 Dec 2023 23:26:01
Huge no from Portland. Buddy and a late first isn’t enough to let go of Grant’s steadying presence for the young guys.

21 Dec 2023 20:34:30
Pacers:Anunoby+Siakam

Tor:Mathurin+Toppin+hield+McConnell+J Walker+ 1rnd pick Hou or clip 24+ 1rnd pick Indy 24-26+ swap option Indy25

Pacers
C:Turner/Jackson
PF:Siakam/Smith
SF:Anunoby/Nesmith
SG:Brown/Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/Sheppard

22 Dec 2023 13:27:23
I really like INdy as a trading partner, and this seems like a really good haul overall.

23 Dec 2023 03:29:43
Just got to be able to resign those guys considering the investment.

13 Dec 2023 20:09:55
According to SportsNet's Michael Grange, Siakam's current value around the league could lead to a change of heart from the front office.

"The Raptors, under president and general manager Masai Ujiri, aren’t known for selling low, " Grange wrote. "This is why in some corners there is an emerging view that another possible path may present itself, one where Siakam doesn’t get moved and may even end up inking an extension in the coming weeks. It wouldn’t surprise me if there have been exploratory conversations on the subject. "

This reminds me of what happened with Myles Turner in Indiana last season.

11 Dec 2023 17:23:22
Mobley worth 3 good young players + 2 firsts?

11 Dec 2023 20:59:07
Not sure what this really does for the Pacers.

11 Dec 2023 21:44:01
I believe he would be a great tandem with Haliburton.

12 Dec 2023 12:14:24
Cavs say no.

10 Dec 2023 14:12:03
Pacers: M Bridges

09 Dec 2023 18:36:39
Can't see Grant getting close to that return.

09 Dec 2023 20:12:30
I think you need Brown more than Grant. Pacers have enough firepower from what i'm seeing.

10 Dec 2023 13:53:52
Yea Grant is not a lottery pick + 2 firsts better than Brown, and he's more expensive. Hield, Toppin, and one 1st is a more likely return.

10 Dec 2023 17:20:33
No one else is going to notice this because it’s happening in Portland, but there’s no way I’d give up Camara in this deal. Hes been incredible. Hes worth more than an Indy first to me.

This is too much for Indy to give up probably. But also not great for Portland.

Hield, Walker, and a first for Grant and Moses Brown (or re-add the second first and make the second player Thybulle? ) would probably be better.

10 Dec 2023 19:26:27
The Pacers GM, Pritchard, will never make a deal with Portland after he was run out of town in Portland years ago.

Portland will get at least 1 FRP for Grant and a young players, as well as, an expiring contract.

I see a deal with either ATL or Charlotte.

10 Dec 2023 21:26:08
I really like camara he would be a great fit in Indy.

09 Dec 2023 04:09:53
Cleveland gets: Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Jarace Walker & Buddy Hield
Indiana gets: Donovan Mitchell, Ricky Rubio & Sam Merrill

Why?
Cleveland gets a nice package for a player who is an odd fit next to Garland & has uncertainty regarding his contract status.
Indiana gets what is probably the perfect co-star next to Hali in terms of fit.

09 Dec 2023 08:07:52
Mitchell is worth more.

09 Dec 2023 12:58:31
Mitchell is a really good fit next to Haliburton and Indy could trow in two extra picks.

But i don't think he wants to stay in Indy, so i rahter trade for M Bridges or Anunoby.

28 Nov 2023 23:03:29
Nets:D Mitchell

Pacers:M Bridges

Cle: Mathurin+McConnell+D F Smith+ 1rnd pick Pacers 24+1rnd pick Philly 27

29 Nov 2023 18:30:52
So Brooklyn have Mitchell and a bunch of mediocre players?

27 Nov 2023 11:31:30
IND - UTAH

Pacers get C. Sexton (17.3$) + L. Samanic (2$)
Jazz get B. Hield (19.3$)

27 Nov 2023 11:59:59
It's a fair trade for Indy and Sexton could be good next to Haliburton, but i feel like we should resign Hield. He's a good leader for that team, unless we can trade him in a package for an all star.

27 Nov 2023 15:57:26
I would laugh if Buddy Love got traded to a non-playoff team at the trade deadline.
