Pacers are apparently shopping the 13th pick.

Everyone is shopping every pick… kings are said to be doing the same. Since it’s a pick I’d be throwing it out in all the trade talks… it’s not a player who might get mad.

They supposedly want to trade up or trade out

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

They are $4 million under the cap so they could take on a little bit more in a deal. However, they really only have Delon Wright to send back plus some tiny bad player contracts.

So unless they love Favors and #30 for a couple small contracts and #9 OR Bojan for Delon Wright, small contracts and #9, we would need a third team.

I would bet a deal with Sacramento and OKC happens. I think they end up sliding back from #9 and including Bagley's 11M salary. Something like #9 and Bagley for 16 and 18. They need cap space to re-sign Holmes because they don't have full bird rights.

They might do something with Hield for lower salary too, but Bagley has wanted out and has been so disappointing... both sides need a reset.

I feel like Indiana always has the #13th pick.

 

[LoPo]

Could we trade Bojan for Lamb, Holiday and #13?

If so, what could Lamb and #30 get us?

NO apparently wants Kyle Lowry but to sign him they need to offload Bledsoe and Adams... so another team trying to get a re-do on their last offseason.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

This offseason has so many moving parts.. Really I think will need to be involved in a lot of discussions and just sneak into deals through the side and vacuum out value if possible. Similar to Cleveland landing Jarrett Allen and Indiana stealing Caris LeVert. Just jump on a few trade calls and see what happens.

Never understood why they extended Adams for big money.

So basically OKC is going to get a boatload more assets this year being everyone's dumping ground.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Never understood why they extended Adams for big money.

I think he didn't want to go there... I thought if they wanted a vet center and were willing to have future money allocated to it then why not take Horford. He's a WAY better fit next to Zion... almost about as good as you could hope for. The Adams money was bad money from day one.

So basically OKC is going to get a boatload more assets this year being everyone's dumping ground.

I'm not sure how many premium assets they will get... and they have like $40M in space so they may not find enough deals for all their space... but yeah... they will add at least a couple future firsts and some guys that will likely increase their trade value.

Presti may eff up the finish work but the foundation he has laid down is a ****ing work of art. There also aren't any other dumping grounds since NY is trying to be good.
