Pacers finally get Ayton?

IND receive:
-Deandre Ayton

POR receive:
-Aaron Nesmith
-Obi Toppin
-Mitchell Robinson*
-2025 first round pick (IND - proj. #20-25)
-Future protected first round pick (IND)
-Future second round pick(s) (NYK)

NYK* receive:
-TJ McConnell

It's no secret that Ayton has been on Indy's radar. If Turner walks this offseason, they will force a trade for his replacement. Blazers get young talent, picks, and an expiring in return.

*Third team is very flexible; need somewhere to dump the McConnell contract, as Portland has no interest in a defensive guard on a long-term deal. However, there's plenty of contenders that would happily give up an expiring contract ~$10M and few 2nd rounders for a player of TJ's caliber.

Thoughts?

This is a nightmare scenario for Indiana.


2.) 23 Feb 2025 14:12:28
If you remove the picks, Indiana might still say no. That package can get thema better option. Mark Williams could be a cheap choice.


3.) 24 Feb 2025 18:59:36
I like Ayton, he'd be a great addition for Indiana.

Kawhi to Cleveland?

CLE receive:
-Kawhi Leonard

LAC receive:
-Darius Garland
-Isaac Okoro
-2031 first round pick
-2030 pick swap

Cleveland has a good thing going, this gives them a great opportunity to destroy it.


2.) 23 Feb 2025 14:13:35
If you can somehow find a way to get Kawhi without giving up Mobley Mitchell Allen and Garland. That would be nice but this one is a no for Cavs.


3.) 24 Feb 2025 16:58:59
I want no part of Kawhi. He would ruin what we have going, and he has glass knees.

MEM receive:
-Brandon Ingram

NOP receive:
-Luke Kennard
-Jake LaRavia
-Tim Hardaway Jr.
-2025 & 2027 1st Round Picks (MEM)

DET receive:
-Marcus Smart
-2026 2nd Round Pick (LAC via MEM)
-2027 2nd Round Pick (CHI via NOP)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The trade market for Ingram at the deadline is going to be very underwhelming. The Pelicans main priority will be to duck under the $170M luxury tax threshold - and dumping Ingram for a couple picks and expiring contracts will save them millions down the road.

That's far from an underwhelming return for Ingram. I like this trade for all teams.


2.) 18 Jan 2025 12:58:39
Ingram is a ball-stopper and not a very good defender. It doesn't make sense to give two firsts to a guy who is not a good fit.


3.) 20 Jan 2025 15:34:26
Do not love it neither for what MEM is giving up nor for what DET gets.

Chicago sends out that much and doesn’t get a first?

Reaves would have to go out for the Lakers to get Caruso.

Need a way to keep Braun in the deal. Can't rely on Westbrook to space the floor w/ Jokic & KD.

Pat Riley would need an offer he can't refuse for Bam. This isn't that.

Bucks have no first available until 2031, too valuable for only KCP in return. Magic have many firsts that won't convey into lottery picks. Portland says no here unless they can get 2 quality unprotected picks from Orlando.

I just can't see Miami getting both Dame and Nurkic. They barely have enough value to force the trade for Dame alone.

Bulls would rather just re-sign Vuc than give up more assets.
