If anything you trade Hayward. Cause there is no way he doesn't opt out. But then again, no team will trade for him knowing that.

U can still trade him due to the fact it's easier to sign a free agent from your own team, so there's still value. Also not much difference from the cabs trading for Love in a contract year.

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.

I agree...Indy hangs up the phone. But if we took the picks off the table and offered Favors and Hayward instead, I think Indy has to seriously think about it. That's a lot to give up, but PG is a top 5 player in the NBA, you ain't getting a player of that caliber without giving up a lot...

Trading for Paul George sounds realistic. Let's discuss at length.

We already have. See this thread

we were in an excellent position this last FA period, too. Does our track record give you confidence?

Last year versus next year is a bit of a false comparison since we are moving forward with a strategy that is moving from one phase to the next.

Once they decide who the young keepers will be (it is not everyone they have on the team now), and they have a vision for their development and playing time needs, they will move some and upgrade with complementary vets. Or parlay some fraction of their young talent and picks into a top player on a team that is shifting to rebuild. Key is to find the right trade partners (one who values Alec Burks, perhaps?).

Analogy flies only if:
(1) PG is not happy with Indy and wants a trade
(2) Indy commits to retooling versus winning now

Siro, can you hook this guy up with some rosary or anal beads? tia

Yes. Trade for pg13. And win a championship with new scottie pippen and white scottie pippen.

I think Indy only listens if Hayward is in the deal.

George and Hayward on the same team would be a fun experiment.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Pacers are 23-19 though, so no reason to think they would trade their franchise player for an injury prone 6th man and a PF with back issues. You would have to think a George/Hayward/Gobert team would start winning a ton of games so our 1st round picks wouldnt be that valuable.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

It wouldn't cost Favors and Burks. To get PG would cost Gobert + Burks + Exum or Favors + Burks + Exum.

Not happening.
