Not completely surprised if this happens either

It is. Bulls did that deal above but for Butler.

[IndyScribe]

Well, RIP. Butler has been traded. Good deal for both sides.

Wolves are giving up the same players?

[IndyScribe]

 

Us as new information keeps coming out.

We never knew for sure what the Wolves offered. It could have been a ploy for the Bulls to accept the offer. My guess is that one of those players or picks was missing.

[Luck is Good]

It's the same offer except it's for Jimmy Butler and not Paul George

Not surprised they want Butler over George. Butler is the much safer option.

LaVine, Dunn and #7 for Butler and #16. Man

Indiana and Boston are engaged in serious talks on a Paul George trade, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Maybe we get the nets pick next year and Brown

That's what I'm thinking

Id rather have Brown

I'm admittedly not a huge Tatum fan but he is a pretty good scorer. I wouldn't be upset about it at all.

His comparison is a better scoring Danny Granger. I'm ok with that.

Get him and then maybe draft a big at #18. Jordan Bell?

Sources: Boston, Indiana talks for Paul George had gained significant momentum, but sides are still apart on a possible deal.

I'm kind of wanting to see if Bam will be there at 18.

That wouldn't be bad either. He's got athleticism and he brings a nastiness that the Pacers need

[IndyScribe]

Hope the trade goes through. I doubt it's Tatum. More like next year's Lakers pick + a player.

[Luck is Good]

I think Bulls might take Malik Monk. They need shooting since they were 28th at shooting the three ball

[2006Coltsbestever]

Butler to Minnesota = WOW! Butler/Wiggins/Towns gives them a nice young BIG3. I hope we deal with Boston and maybe get Tatum, still a possibility. Lakers get Ball, Fox went to Kings at #5. Nothing shocking so far except the Bulls/Wolves trade. Wolves are howling right now!

I thought they would. A bit surprised they didn't. Monk would've been a good guy to get after losing Butler.

I was kinda dumbfounded with that pick. Fingers crossed Monk falls to #18

[RockThatBlue]

Kings should just take Monk. Fox and Monk together.

Who else is getting the feeling a trade for PG isn't gonna happen 

[aaron11]

looks like its down to taking late picks, or getting nothing

It will happen but not tonight is what I'm thinking.

Damn you Hornets

Me.

 

I realize the Pacers want to get as much value as they can for PG but is the trade market likely to improve on a guy with one year left on his contract who has made it known there is only one team he wants to play for? I just have a hard time imagining trade offers improving after tonight.

[RockThatBlue]

Just a few picks to go...

[chad72]

Kevin Pritchard is officially blowing it, IMO.

 

He thinks he has more leverage than the Pacers actually have. The longer he waits, the less of an offer he will have to settle for. 

[Colts_Fan12]

RIP pacers 

[Luck is Good]

TJ Leaf is definitely not who I expected. He's a PF who can shoot the ball but I'm not sure about the pick. Maybe he can complement Myles Turner. I'm probably gonna get hammered now

He will follow the plumblee and Psyco T path right into the trash can
