With Al getting older and Rob being injury prone, it’s safe to say we need to improve our big men depth. What do you think about this trade?
PP wants out so he gets more minutes and Isaiah Jackson is one of the best young rim protectors out there with an affordable salary. Think adding the 35th pick to PP moves the needle for indiana?

loved Jackson coming out of the draft and think he’d be a solid cheap pickup for us … But I don’t see Pritchard being a fit in Indy
Already have Hali, Mcconnell and Nembhard at PG locked in for next year … Also have Duarte/Mathurin who play some SG
Pritchard to the Suns, Xavier Tillman to the Celtics, 2 Suns 2nd round picks to the Grizz.
Tillman is good enough to bridge gaps if Rob gets hurt or Al needs a day off. Tillman also fits into the Justin Jackson TPE, so we could generate a $4M TPE from this trade.
The Grizz have 14 players currently on their roster, and the only non-guaranteed contract is Tillman. Makes sense to move Tillman to open roster spots for their 1st round pick and whomever they sign with the NT-MLE.
[The Suns reportedly have interest in Pritchard](https://twitter.com/realbobmanning/status/1667225725529718784?s=46&t=-OdMdWEnL4Djq896aA6Z2Q) and have the TPE to absorb him.
And yes, PP would make sense on the Grizz, but a PP-Tillman swap doesn’t work financially, and the Grizz like their young guys and believe in their developmental program.
