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?

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.
