As for the deal - all accounts are, that Sochan is untouchable. He was 9th pick last year and has great potential. In addition to that, SA would be taking a bunch ob bad money (cap space has value) and pay 3 SRP. I am affraid valuation is far off, no matter how much they might like Bilal.

The only player from their core (Wemby, Sochan, Vassel, Johnson) that could be available is Johnson.

What you could perhaps do from your proposal - remove Sochan and insert one of the less talented guys on rookie deals they have (Wesley, Branham, Bassey). They might be available in such a deal.

Do that plus the Capela and 15 for 10 and THJ, then use 15 and 16 to trade back up to 11-13 range to grab Lively, Coulibaly, Wallace, or whoever has fallen. 

I'm afraid of them doing something stupid, but these two trade rumors don't fall into that category.

Latest mocks have Hendricks falling to #10.  If so, you draft him no matter what.  We need to target Zubac or J.Allen, Z.Collins, N.Reid (S&T), Caruso, and Tari Eason.  No more distressed, overpriced assets.

I love Lively, but he's WAY too much of a project for Luka's timeline.  It'll be at least 3 years until Lively can be in the backend of a rotation.

Dallas trades Bertans and the 26 pick to ATL for Collins, 15 pick, and 46 pick

I am afraid that the package is way too light for Indiana....

How do you propose we get those guys on your list if we re-sign Kyrie and pick Hendricks?

(06-20-2023, 01:51 PM)SkenfromLMF Wrote: So how about an Indy and ATL 3-way trade that really fixes ATL's biggest issue:

Dallas trades THJ & McGee to Indy for Theis, TJ McConnel, and one of (Isaiah Jackson, Duarte, Jalen Smith) and Indy's 26 and 55 picks

Dallas trades Bertans and the 26 pick to ATL for Collins, 15 pick, and 46 pick

I am afraid that the package is way too light for Indiana... But at different times we have heard that Indy wants win now players, Theis and McConnel have been/are out of favor, and Rick doesn't want to develop lower picks.

Quote:Tobias Harris, De’Andre Hunter and Dorian Finney-Smith are potential trade targets for the Pacers, per @DraftExpress (https://t.co/AQKv6uvfcE).

Indiana could consolidate some of their additional draft picks (26, 29, 32) by acquiring a starting wing.

Quote:Per Shams, “Phoenix and Atlanta had a deal in place to acquire John Collins that would’ve sent Chris Paul to a third team”

Most likely would’ve been for filler and draft picks in return.
