Hawks-Pacers
Cody Zeller for James Wiseman
Pacers get a backup center since they currently don't have one.
Hawks waive Wiseman and open a roster spot. Go sign Dennis Smith Jr. or Markelle Fultz to backup Trae.

Turner / Ware / Jackson / Wiseman
29 Oct 2024 07:47:35
I rather keep Walker.
29 Oct 2024 15:11:09
Maybe IND needs a 2nd from MIA, or even an additional 2nd from SAC. It's looking like it might be tough to fit Walker into the rotation - if they do trade him, targeting a Center would make sense with Turner / Jackson in the last year of their deals. And they still have Furphy to develop at SF.
31 Aug 2024 07:15:16
Cleveland receives: Obi Toppin and Johnny Furphy
Indiana receives: Dean Wade and Sam Merrill
Why?
Cleveland adds size at the wing.
Indiana gets out of Toppin's contract. Wade is non-guaranteed for next season.

14 Aug 2024 22:57:24
If I'm Indiana, it's a no. They have a great thing going, no need to take a chance on a player who wants a lot of money and has question marks.
16 Aug 2024 15:05:24
I think Ingram would be great.
Indy has everything accept a closer.
I like Turner, but i believe we can develop Wiseman and Jackson is the better rebounder.
I think other teams are going to overpay for Turner next year, so we would lose him for free. That makes the Ingram trade a small gamble.
17 Aug 2024 12:12:50
Ingram is injury prone but worse than that, he was benched during playoff crunch time while healthy. Forget the players going out, I wouldn't want my team responsible for his next contract.
18 Aug 2024 23:46:48
Ingram is a gamble but at that price, it's a no brainer for Indy.
17 Jul 2024 14:49:43
Pacers:Sengun
Rockets: J Wallace+2rnd pick 25
17 Jul 2024 21:31:23
Sengun has way more value than that, about what Sabonis had when he was traded to Sacramento.
17 Jul 2024 23:07:40
Horrific for Houston. Sengun is Jokic Lite, Wallace is an unproven prospect whose ceiling is probably Draymond Green.
19 Jul 2024 07:29:44
Sengun will ask 200 million next year.
So they have to choose: Pay him or trade him.
The team that trades for him has to pay him the big contract. I don't think a lot of teams are willing to do that.
Wallace is the lesser player, but he's young and on a rookie contract for a few more years, so he's a good trade asset, the rockets can use tot trade for a star.
19 Jul 2024 14:54:27
Why would Houston trade their best player for Jarace Walker? They will 100% give Sengun the max, and 29 other teams would do so as well.

That team looks good but that's a lot to give up. Idk.
22 Jun 2024 22:40:37
I don't hate the trade at all but wouldn't you want the Pacers to stick with this core first for a bit? Maybe Mathurin pans out to be close to Bridges's level.
23 Jun 2024 11:23:36
Mathurin can develop in an all star or in a roll player.
Bridges is a lock borderline all star.
I feel the pacers are reade to compete for a title. We lost to Boston 4-0, but most games were pretty close.
So i think we have a chance with a healty Haliburton and the addition of Bridges
This Indy startingfive can keep up with Boston and we have a better bench

Not sure what I think of the 2nd trade. I like where they're headed and that trade changes them dramatically. I say be more patient.

The Pacers would be out of their minds to do something like this. They have a great thing going, all they need is internal growth from their young players. The last thing they need to do is bring in a guy like Ingram.

01 Apr 2024 13:22:04
Why would the pacers do this?
09 Apr 2024 03:00:39
to be honest, they don't have a good reason to. But for 1 team out of 15, it'd be pretty easy to transfer another first to them or something.

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.
13 Jan 2024 20:11:09
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

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.
