lob #2

[NAOS]

Derrick Favors + Alec Burks + 2 1sts

for

Paul George


Exum
Hayward
George
Lyles or FA
Gobert

(tons of small-ball combinations)

Indy has raced into the middle of nowhere and has aging pieces.

Hmm.

Question: are people that would co-sign on trading Favors more concerned that Favors' back is going to be a chronic issue, or are people more sold on Lyles?

I'm not even close to being sold on Lyles (although I like him). And I would jump on NAOS' trade without a second thought, regardless of Favors' injury history. Favors is a nice player, but George is an MVP candidate. I think Indy hangs up the phone.

for me, I'm just concerned that we're going to treadmill as presently constructed. I'd live with Hayward or Favors getting traded if it brought back a player on the next tier.

And I'm bored right now.

Pretty much this. Why does Indy do this?

Good post.

because I'm bored. (see above)

Only way Indy trade PG is they go into full rebuild mode and they know he wont come back. And if that was the case, it isn't, than the Pacers would get more than Favors, Burks and 2 1st for him IMO.

People are underestimating the fact Favors and Burks each have very good contracts.

They have very good contracts. But Indy will want the entire farm if they trade PG.

I would do the trade but I think it is a little risky and more fair (to Indiana) than is getting credit for.
I think what we would give up is a little underrated (assuming favors is healthy)

Burks=fifty cents
Favors=75 cents
2 first rounders=fifty cents

For

Paul George=one dollar


I do the trade because like naos said, we really need a player that's a level above Hayward and even without Burks, favors, and the draft picks we still have allot of good pieces left (gobert, hayward, hood, exum, lyles).

On paper though we would be giving up a pretty good haul and if things break right (Burks and favors stay healthy and have not hit their ceiling yet, the draft picks turn out to net good players) the jazz could be better off keeping what they have and spending big on a free agent next summer.

That's allot of ifs though. I would do the trade.
