I would offer him 3 years at about $36 mil and see what he says...

Boston can match any offer but they've got some high end salaries on the books already

To get him would be 2 wins in 1. We get a Good player that knows Boston inside and out and we take him away from a team that is Very Good.

Here's a crazy sounding one..

….Al Jefferson, Bogan Bodgonavic and Myles Turner for Kyrie Irving

 

Boston has Al Horford at $30 mil and Gordon Hayward at $30 plus longterm .

Do they want to pay Kyrie $30 mil?....when they have Rozier behind him and other young guys they have to pay??>

 

Irving only has  a year left on his deal but so does Myles.

Gordon Hayward makes $30, $31 and $34 the next 3 years..

Al Horford makes $32 mil next year

 

Kyrie is still pretty young but he is injury prone. When healthy he is a Top 15 player in the league. I like the Kemba Walker trade you proposed with Zeller.

Charlotte wants to get rid of that long Zeller contract...but I think he'd love to play in Indiana so that part makes sense......He's a decent backup center..not a scorer at all  but he sets a good screen and he hustles.

 

I know I sound like I want to trade Myles Turner. I don't.

But next year is the 4th year of his 4-year rookie deal.....only an option year  after that

 

..we have to decide if he's a big bucks guy and if he is...then we have to decide if sabonis is a big bucks guy.....We cant keep both of them and pay both $15-$20 mil unless they play effectively together..

 

Of all the guys available..Walker might be the best fit. Coilison is a good guy but if we had Walker, we will have seen the last of the double team defenses against Victor Oladipo

I like Collison but Walker is definitely the better player. I like Turner too, I am 50/50 on the Turner thing on what to do with him. He is a Good player, I get he is probably our best trading chip because we now have Sabonis at least so I get the different trade scenario's.

..is if fair to assume that Thad Young has not signed his option year deal because we are investigating free agent possibilities.?

 

The rules, as I understand them are: We can go over the salary cap only if we are signing our own players.

So if we wish to sign a free agent or two..we have to do that first..and THEN resign Thad.

We cannot do that the other way around.

 

so what I'm hoping is: Thad is very willing to stay..but we have asked him to hold off until after the free agency period ….in case we find someone who wants to come to Indy

I think that is correct regarding the Cap rules. Man I would hate to lose Thad. He does a lot of the dirty work that goes unnoticed. He had some big Offensive Rebounds against the Cavs and was real physical against Love in that series.

Best series of the whole Playoffs was us vs Cavs IMO. That had a bunch of close games.

Of the teams that lost..I would guess the Pacers and Boston have to be the most optimistic.

I keep talking about acquisitions but we got almost nothing out of Glenn Robinson and TJ Leaf.

the players we need to get to 54-55 wins may already be in the organization....

 

If Glenn could make 38-40% on 3s, he would rule the world

would the Pacers have been swept by Golden State?

Nope we swept the warriors in the regular season we played them with KD both times curry wouldn't have made enough of a difference for us to get swept like the worthless Cavs

I agree, I think we would've at least won 1 if not 2 games. We were a team that didn't roll over very easily and responded to losses very well.

They'd want Al Jefferson because they can release him and gain cap space

Truth be told..they'd probably want Myles Turner in that deal

..I'd do that (Myles, Bogan, Big Al for Love) if they'd switch draft spots with us...they have '8' and we have '23'

Yeah let's trade our young big for a injury prone kevin love I'd punch Pritchard in the face

Love is 17 and 10.....he's less 'injury prone' than Myles is.

I'd love the 8th pick in the draft, too.

 

.. you do understand..we cant keep both Sabonis and Turner long term because they both play th same position on defense

You do accept that, right?

Then you let sabonis go Turner is still the better player I'm sick of everyone shoving him out the damn door hes a better defender and a better shooter and if they keep working on his strength he will be even better sorry I'm not trading off our 22 year old lottery pick 

 

I have no idea where you get love isn't injury prone hes hurt all the time myles had on bad injury this year

sabonis was a lottery pick too.  hes a better rebounder, passer and post offensive player.

i think you are over rating myles

 

saboins has almost the same 3 point % as him, the only turner is really good at is rim defense

    • Wish him all the best, I think he can be a better player than we seen here
    • That’s because outside of a “hurt” Leonard and Buckner no one on the defense is a house hold name outside of Indy.  You are right though they are talented.  I think Buckner and Stewart are the best DT combo in the league and I’ll still put the Colts 4-3 linebackers up against anyone in the league.  The key is the secondary, as young as they are (outside of Kenny Moore) they are going to make mistakes at times but they showed what they can be vs Baltimore.  If they play more games like that then not this defense could be special.  
    • Do have edge Laiatu Latu (UCLA) as a senior where in Week 1 he had an impressive outing with 3 sacks, 3 hits and 4 hurries to earn 93.9 PFF pass-rushing grade earning 2023 PFF TOW 1 honors.  DL Leonard Taylor III, Miami Hurricanes, Sophomore was another player deeper on my watch list that I left off who earned 2022 PFF TOW 8 honors.   Good find on Roman Hembry of Maryland.  Averaging over 5 yards per carry and 9+ yards per catching.  Impressive stat line from 2022 and seems to be repeating for 2023.      WR-Z Adonai Mitchell (Texas), Junior.  Missed 9 games in 2022 due to an ankle injury.  Impressive one-handed catch in the National Championship game where he played for Georgia in 2022.  Risk/reward potential as could see his draft stock rise if he remains healthy.  Will he declare for the draft or risk another injury?    
    • I'll agree on the mid-season but his reset really helped and Heyward was a gold glover, not expecting that from Seiya.  It was a bad miss by him, but it shouldn't have been a matter. The Cubs blew it with Ross poor decision is my biggest issue. Since it seems like PCA is only there for D, who brings him in so early. Like I just can't figure out how ross is this dumb. I'm hoping he's fired after season especially if they miss Ross is biggest weakness. He taxed bullpen super early in year
    • @LJpalmbeacher2,   I would still be weary of putting Cincy that high. I get it though because of the last 2 years and Burrow is great. Burrow to me doesn't look near 100% healthy though. I still think the Ravens win that division.
