Hartenstein/Toppin for Turner? Yes, it works financially. Almost anything works if Indy is getting more money. Recall, they are way under the cap. So, you could actually send Fournier with Hartenstein and Toppin and throw in Cam Reddish for good measure. Only limit is roster spots.
LOVE Hartenstein and Toppin joining the young Indy core. If it means eating a year of Fournier, small price to pay IMHO.
Thanks for the info - had totally forgotten about IND's cap space.
I have no idea how Thibs/NY front office thinks, but I do know that Mitchell has been a disappointment to my Knicks fan friends. I wouldn't consider him to be untouchable in a deal like this, though he does have some overlap (from Carlisle's POV) with Toppin.
Toppin, Hartenstein, Mitchell and even Fournier all seem like Carlisle types in various ways, don't they?
