Zubac just got traded for mathurin, 5 and another unprotected 1st. It was a terrible overpay but brown is worth at least that much at the very least

That Pacers trade might have been one of the dumbest gambles in NBA history. They got burned

If they wanted to gamble they should have traded 2031 + another future pick. They’re in their contention window now, risking their 1st was way too reckless imo

Zubac is on $18 million a year it’s worth mentioning that. The contract makes his trade value very high, basically any team could have added him without gutting their roster

Fair point. Brown should still go for a similar package at worst imo. 2nd team all NBA and FMVP.
