We had no answer for Shaq, nobody did that whole year. We made the Finals but the 1998 team was better that took MJ 7 games (ECFinals). If we get by them and we should've we would've played an older Jazz ream who had a banged up Jeff Hornacek. We may have won that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aReggie7 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I saw an article on Bleacher Report for post free agency trade ideas. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2843625-5-blockbuster-trade-ideas-early-in-nba-free-agency#slide4 One of the ideas involved the Pacers trading Domantas Sabonis to the Spurs for Derrick White and Chimezie Metu. I'm still in the doubting Sabonis/Turner playing together works camp. Adding another versatile guard is intriguing to me. I think Victor, Malcolm, and White could all play well together.

No, if we make the playoffs next year, it goes to MIL. If we miss the playoffs the next 5 years(we don't lose our pick), the pick will be unprotected after that. 1st playoff season from now, the pick will be gone. Most likely next year.

Myles Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I like Sabonis and I hope we keep him. Personally I would rather trade Turner.

No need to do anything yet We do have to match salaries of course. And i would rather have Sabonis. That trade was actually silliness. Turner won't play over 28 minutes, so Sabonis will play many minutes at center. And i believe our head coach isn't stupid, so he will mix it up plenty on the starter minutes based on matchups. There is no issue with playing Sabonis and Turner together over an 82 game schedule. Yes there will be matchup issues to deal with when you get to playing the best teams in the Playoffs, but we are what we are. A young, small market team, that competes fairly well most years. JMO that we have a good shot at being Very Competitive in 2020-21 season. Our young guys must get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyScribe Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Good signing. TJ is supposedly a high character, great locker room guy. He will be the third PG off the bench, and 76ers fans love him. Do we have all the TJ's in the league? The league isn't ready for 3J. 2 hours ago, w87r said: Quality signing. Holiday and Brogdon can both slide to the 2 also.

I think you can sign a good backup with the exception. Maybe trade McDermott after July 6th? Also, I'm lowkey excited for Summer League. That starting 5 has me hyped and I think (I know, overly optimistic), that every player could be a decent contributor. Brian Bowen has a massive chip on his shoulder, from what it looks like.

Turner's best basketball should start 2-3 years from now, at age 25-26, just like most hard working big men. Our defensive guru Dan Burke places a very high premium on being able to defend the rim. Turner is doing this at a high level with more upside, Sabonis unfortunately, is poor at it with little upside. That is why Goga is held as a Big pick for us as he plays "above the rim" as a defender. I too look forward to seeing Turner's offense, his number of 3's should go up the more minutes he plays with Sabonis, as his stroke is very good. I'd rather Sabonis just keep that tool in the lockeroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
