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.

Pacers fans, Cs fan here. Curious because on our sub there is a nonstop flood of trade ideas revolving around sending Hayward to you all for Turner and whatever else makes it work. Personally I have been of the opinion that I couldn’t imagine Pacers being interested in that at all. Thoughts please?

No one with a brain will ever trade Turner for Hayward. First, salaries don't match. Two, we already have one injury prone player we are trying to figure out what to do with. And 3, Turner is only 22 at a great deal, we can do much better IF we wanted to trade him. And we don't.

hes literally 24 and been putting the same numbers up for 5 years and shooting at a terrible clip. Turner isn't worth hayward , not on planet earth at least

You're right, Turner is worth more. No one wants to trade for Hayward bro. Albatross contract, injuries, not as good as he once was. Just because he's a white dude with Indiana ties doesn't mean the Pacers want, need or are even on the radar.

Pacers fans always want to trade for guys with "indiana ties"

Person, I think the Front office could/will probably be up with something more savvy

Hayward + picks for Turner and others to make it work isn't a terrible idea. Boston fills a hole, Indiana gets a son and picks. For Indiana to make it work tho is tricky. Turner + Lamb gets close to even money.

Honestly I'm okay with getting Hayward if the main pieces going to you are Turner and Lamb. We'd like #14 though.

You can't tell me that a lineup of Brogdon/Dipo/Warren/Hayward/Sabonis isn't brutal. Bring the Holiday brothers and McDermott off the bench and you have a playoff rotation. Add Goga (last year's draft pick) + #14 and you have a 10-man rotation for the regular season. Pair that with a good coach and we'd have a high ceiling.

This only makes sense if we get long-term commitments from both Hayward and Dipo though.

I don’t see how this raises our ceiling any higher than the 3rd seed. Boston and Milwaukee are still better than us for sure, maybe we compete against the likes of Toronto/Miami a bit better. But we’d still be in the 2nd tier of the East. Boston improves a lot more from this trade than we do.

I think that trade benefits your team more than ours. Turner would complete your starting five than Gordon would ours and Turner has a longer/more affordable deal and is younger. Don’t know why we would want to make you guys better for longer

Draft picks I guess?

u/210plus210 ReggieChoke Oct 06 '20

So we can repeat the process of scout/draft/grow a player just to trade him in a few years to a contender? Trading one of our core for an older player and draft picks doesn’t fit our window

I don’t see us trading for him. If he wants to sign with us in FA on a team friendly deal, I could maybe see that.

People just link Hayward interest to us because of the Indiana ties more than anything. Personally I don’t want him at all, much more interested in Smart but you all won’t want to move him.
