I suppose a three team trade could work out, but the draft is already over, so draft picks are pointless. you don't want Aldridge? Why? draft's not quite over Spurs have the 29th pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 19 ..this body type is what you get with teenagers His combine numbers don't show that. He didn't test anything special nor quick. He is an under sized 4 that doesn't finish strong and he is too slow to guard the 3. He can shoot I'll give him that but there were many guys with bigger upsides. It was like we we're still trying to draft role players for PG....guys that could fit a 10 min a game special role and we aren't that team anymore.

IndyScribe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 5 minutes ago, The Fish said: Kevin Love was good enough. Trade him at the deadline if need be, it's a quality guy with one more year on his deal. The Boston deal was good enough. The 6ers deal was way too good.. If that's true.. whew.. A four game sweep wasn't worth it. The TWolves deal was okayish. Levine is a more unique potential than draft prospects. We've seen him work. I'm guessing other deals are probably okay-ish too. I could be wrong, as I have no details, but if these are true, I'm baffled. Love wouldn't have helped with the rebuild. Boston, AFAIK, never offered us anything. Never heard anything about the 76ers. Wolves never actually confirmed if they offered that us or not. It was just a rumor. The only thing that was confirmed was the Lakers offer, which is terrible.

The Fish Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 "Love wouldn't have helped with the rebuild." That's not really the point. He's about as close as equal value as PG in terms of talent as they can get and if they want to rebuild, he's an asset for future trades, when the clock isn't tilted against the Pacers so significantly.

IndyScribe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Just now, oldunclemark said: Cant tank in Indianapolis, Indy.... ..This is not the franchise for that I agree, somewhat. This team probably won't survive a complete bottoming out, like the 76ers. We would lose our fanbase. However, 1 or 2 years shouldn't be too bad. I'd rather tank and completely rebuild than stay in mediocrity, which is what will happen with LMA. With Aldridge, we're never getting past the Cavs, let alone the Warriors. By the time Lebron is old, or the Warriors break up, he'll be old and near the end of a contract, and wouldn't have helped us with a championship. We could have young talent growing that would reach their full potential by the time Lebron is done instead of Aldridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
