I keep applying my sensibilities to what should be done. We are likely to get Tony back on the pod in the next few weeks so will see if we can get some info.
And that possibility to me is that the Jazz take the best first they can find for Walker and the Pacers one would be it (with protections). Maybe they could settle on top 3 but I am not sure Indiana is a lock to be amazing if Tyrese struggles in his first year back.
The bet is you land a mid...
They would just take a guy and keep him. I don't think they have to have it fit their perfect timeline. Then go find a center or someone else with a pick. But yeah... that would be a guy that would be in play for an asset like that.
We were never getting Reaves imo.
Yeah I think it would be really dumb to trade for a healthy player the year you are supposed to be tanking.
This is an offseason deal imo for both teams when they know exactly what they are buying contractually. Would be shocked if something got done here...
If you are the Pacers and land a top 4 pick that asset gets you more than Walker, but the Jazz can't bank on that at all. Wouldn't they just wait and try to work a sign and trade and see where the pick lands? I think so. They could trade a future pick or picks for Walker and just take the best...
I think they are mid when they have most of their guys... bad when missing either Pascal or Nembhard... McConnell/Nesmith also fairly important to them right now.
I just don't think they do it without protections for this year and I doubt we add all these picks banking on them continuing to...
I doubt the 2026 pick is on the table. The Pacers are more thin than last year with no Tyrese, Toppin, Turner. While they temporarily have it together I can see them hitting another injury bug and the pick being in the 6-8 odds... I just doubt they give that up for an injured Walker with no...
It would be a really weird time to trade him since his injury fits our current agenda and his production/age fits our future agenda. They may just not want to pay him and I think they had a trade lined up before the season that did not pan out with the Lakers. I'm not sure what a team would give...
