    Would love any of those guys on the squad.

  2. GutsTheSwordsman

    Only Myles Turner is worth including the 17th pick, maybe Porzingis..

    I’d rather swing on the 17th (guard/wing) and then hope for the best in the late 2nd/undrafted for a big.

    The year is 2083. A content Myles Turner dozes off one last time in his Indianapolis residence, surrounded by his loving wife, children and grandchildren, as memories of a beautiful life well-lived flash before his eyes.

    The following day, the Indianapolis Times announces the death of the man who played his entire 18 year career with the Pacers, filled with touching tributes from former teammates, full page in-memoriums, and rumours that *this* might be the year the Pacers trade him to the Lakers for their ’85 and ’87 first round picks.

    THEY’RE NOT TRADING MYLES FUCKING TURNER. MOVE ON ALREADY !

    All great names. Let’s hope that there’s fire to this smoke.

    Wonder what it would take to get 1 of DFS / Royce + both their picks? Maybe 17 + 2nds?

  5. Trentrid

    If it’s Turner AND hield, or dfs AND O’Neale, I’m cool with any of these trades but torontos.

    But if we cough up 17 for buddy, GTJ, or one of dfs/o’neale – that’s an overpay

  6. KingNephew

    Id take any of those names, preferably the ones with more size.

  7. I’m not fully against Bamba, Beasley, Harrison, #17 and more for KP. It’s just risky because of his injury history, paired with AD, Lebron and possibly CP3, also having questionable health. This would be a very high risk high reward move, and we’d have no real shot of improving this roster if it doesn’t work out because we would trade all our future assets to acquire him.

  8. motorboat_mcgee

    Christ, we’re going to be rumored to trade for Turner all the way until the end of the universe

    That said, I’d love him or KP, I just don’t see it happening

  9. Strong_Piccolo9776

    Is there a way to keep reaves and Rui if we traded for KP? I wish the old gm was still there we probably wouldn’t even need to give up the 17th pick

  10. cmurray555

    Bamba, Beasley, Shaq Harrison, 17th pick, 2029 FRP

    for

    Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, 26th pick

    Being a sports reporter seems like the easiest job in the world.

  12. KyrieWetUpCurry_

    KP would be great with AD but $36 million is kinda a lot. Unless he’d opt in and then extends on a Wiggins type of team deal where he gets 3/$90.

  13. Pikminious_Thrious

    If Rob manages to get KP for our scraps and just the 17th pick, Washington needs to fire their FO again.

  14. LAlakers4life

    #PINGUS MIGHT BE THE GUY WE NEED…

  15. I’ve given up on the Myles Turner dream already. Some of the other names look enticing but anyone else and it might be a bit of an overpay unless they give us a late first in return.

  16. astronomy_31415

    if we can turn bamba, Beasley and 17th into any of these players, it’d be great

    and if we are able to sign CP3, wow

    + DLO/CP3

    +Austin/Max/Troy

    +LeBron/Vando

    +AD/Rui

    +Porzingis/vet min

    Plus, Dlo still works for an in season trade, if necessary

  17. Vexing_Pie

    Myles Turner is not getting traded. Can we just stop talking about him?

  18. xAaronss

    trade should be Bamba, Beasley , Vando and the 17th pick for Myles Turner Buddy Hield and Indiana’s 26th pick

  19. Sjohnsa526

    Porzingus or Turner would be amazing. Centers to stretch the floor and AD doesn’t have to guard 5’s anymore

  20. kai_123

    DFS and O’Neale seems like the perfect role players on a LeBron team

  21. kanekikochaboggy

    17th plus bamba and Beasley for DFS and Royce o Neal

    I would do that trade. Rally make us deep and salary matches easily (25 for these guys and 26 for Bamba and Beasley)

  22. Potential-Host-6281

    Buddy Hield rn

  23. Mawly-G

    If we can turn #17, Beasley, and Bamba into Kristaps fucking Porzingis…you absolutely go for it. His injury history is shaky as hell, but the damage he could do playing next to AD would be too insane to pass up IMO.
