That was true until the trade (maybe the trade isn't finalized and they're looking to see if they can loop in a third team?). Now it's MEM with the most favorable, us with #2 and PHO with #3.
There was a suggestion for Lauri + 5 for PG + 3, which was ridiculous IMHO, but Lauri for PG + 3 alone would at least make some sense. Not that I'd do that either.
I would certainly understand taking the gamble, but this is a giant person who usually misses 15-20 games per year who just had a fairly serious calf injury. I'd be very concerned.
I think at this point I feel it's too late to give up lots for Giannis. He's still great, but he's getting older, and you'll be one serious injury away from a complete disaster of both a trade and a contract. I'd rather roll the dice.
They're also 5-5 over the last 10. No one thought they were on their way to the championship, it was about starting to win _more_ (which you thought would be impossible).
What? Not sure I understood exactly what the Pacers gave up here, but I wouldn't trade Suns 31 + LAL 31 for their '26 pick alone even. They're in an incredibly weak conference and would be playing to win.
