I agree. I don't see Utah giving up the GS pick for Copeland. Maybe give Indiana the right to swap picks. But even then, I'd guess Lindsey would lottery-protect it, especially with GS hanging in the 8th spot right now.
I would trade Gordon Hayward for Boston's lottery pick. They seem pretty locked in the top 6.
Thank you, and good night.

Warriors pick + Hayward for Paul George. Hometown boy returns to Indiana. Pacers clear salary space to re-sign Stephenson. (jk, of course).
Since everyone thinks it's Copeland, let me throw another possibility out there. Could Lindsey perhaps like Solomon Hill? He was drafted 23rd last season. So it would essentially be a swap of picks in the same range (if Dennis lottery-protects the GS pick).

I wouldn't say "Don't be sleeping", but "Give him a chance at least".
Also Ariza is having a contract year #coincidence
The Pacers like Hill a lot. Really a lot. They think his $8M is excellent value as his on ball defense is superb. You'll see him defend Dwyane Wade in the ECF.
Stephenson is untouchable right now. As they need him to win this year and are trying really hard to resign him for good value.
Haha.
I don't think the Pacers are ready to give up on Solomon. They'll find out that it may be more beneficial for the team to play S. Hill 15min a game and take away a couple from Paul George for rest and stuff.
Harsh words.
If they talk I think it'd include GSW's 2016 2nd rounder unless there's a real value in return. Everyone knows that Larry BIFF'd their payroll situation this summer with the Phoenix trade and FA signings that are now souring on their bench.
Chris Copeland would make sense for both teams. Pacers open up salary to resign Stephenson. Jazz won't be willing to pay Williams' price tag anyways and take away too many minutes from Kanter.
I think the Pacers would love to move Mahinmi for a more productive Center with similar defensive qualities. But the Jazz won't be their trade partner and they need a Center in return as the Pacers need insurance behind Hibbert as Bynum would be their only Center if they shipped him.
I think they're happy with CJ Watson as he does replacement level numbers and doesn't hurt them.
I can see them shipping off Luis Scola. He only has the desired impact every 2nd or 3rd game. And he stretches the court less than Williams would. Also he's owed another $5M next year. But that would require Indiana to include picks for salary dump. But it could be something like: We give u a GSW 2nd and you give us ur 1st rounder 2016
The Granger scenarios would be basically: We give u Williams + trade exception or Rush and you give Granger. But that would require them to include assets. Not us.
Or it was a 3 team trade with someone else included.
Yeah might be true. Lance would be better for that. I always forget that he no longer can drive to the hoop
But since he almost never plays it's hard to remember.

Yeah haven't followed Wade that much, but I do know that the Heat are always quick to post him up if the match-up dictates it. He's very efficient there.

Adding Copeland would just be adding another guy doomed to inefficiency. He doesn't solve the Jazz's problem of no efficient playmaker. If the Jazz get that guy or develop one he could be a good fit tho.
I've never, ever seen him play so I don't really have an opinion on him. But if it's true he's 29 and he averages 5 minutes a game, then he sounds ****ty.

Indiana doesn't play him because they have other options on 3 and 4. And he doesn't play D. That's the main reason. But if you want instant offense then he's your guy.
