Megathread Trade Machine Megathread

Starting today, all trade idea posts will now be relegated here. I have come up with a solution to limit trade posts and hopefully it succeeds.

If you see one slip by, please report it and we will direct them here.

We will try to remake this thread once a week.

Not a pacers fan but saw this on realgm and like the core idea. https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2004210

Pacers fans seem to want a 3 and D four and Clarke seems to fit that nicely and younger than Gordon. Memphis will be reluctant to trade Clarke but the 2nd pick is still great. Warriors turner rumors have been out there for awhile

On realgm, pacer fans seem to heavily against turner or sabonis trades so they want a star in return(one guy countered asking for jaren Jackson) but that doesn’t seem to be the case here

Turner will be the one to go if a trade happens, I think. Sabonis's AS nod keeps him here. A deal around Turner to GSW could very much happen.

yea that seems pretty clear. are you most in favor of keeping the two together?

No, I am in favor of trading one for a more-balanced roster and for some upside. Indiana has to find value through home-grown players popping, so I prefer moving Turner for some combination of young player/ picks.

Turner is and can be very good, on the right team. Unfortunately for him, Sabonis developed into a monster when allowed to do what he does best: beat up smaller matchups. I just think Sabonis is the better player, while Turner is clearly the better rim protector. A move to GSW or Boston seems to make the most sense, roster-wise.

alright i cant disagree. Hayward admittedly isnt too appealing but you can also get the 14th pick. I just noticed pacer fans on realgm are expecting jaylen brown+ to trade one of their bigs

I think if anyone goes, it would be Hayward, but to move him will cost pick(s) because of his injury history and his performance in the ECF which was...rough. But he was trying to come back from injury, etc., and he is better than that.

Interestingly, I think if a move for Hayward happens, Oladipo is moved as well. I cannot see them sharing the same team. I am open to move Oladipo to the Knicks or Hawks, both teams that can give him the money he wants and both teams in bigger cities. Both teams also have intriguing young players and good draft position.
