I like that trade. The key is that is only one draft pick and it is top 5 protected. I am against sending both unprotected picks which are only real future assets next to Austin on his contract. Sending Rui and only one top 5 protected is the price I see as reasonable for giving Davis and James last one shot (or maybe two?) at championship.
Myles Turner would be great. My worry would be the long term issues with obtaining him. If lakers get him they give up Rui, hood and possibly 2 1sts. They get him for about 3-4 months and then he becomes a free agent. Do we believe that Turner will re sign with the lakers for 2025-2026? Turner makes 20 mil but his agent said he ll want 30 mil to start 2025-2026. If he walks we rented a guy for 3-4 months that more than likely won t get the lakers a ring. Let’s be honest, if you beat the nets by 1 point, get blown out by a sixers team without starters and play down to other losing record teams (pistons 0-2) how do you think this move will put them on top? Optimism is great but you have to be realistic. The lakers are 3-9 against the top 5 teams in the west and east at the moment. If anything, the lakers should throw away their firsts and Rui for a younger guy that they ll have locked up for a few years to be of value.
We can go all in for Myles Turner. Lebron can opt out and extend him 3 years again. 22million per year. And pay other 30million to MT for 4 years, 4th year Team options. perfect fit next to AD
If the Pacers don't want to sign Myles Turner next year for $30 million++ they have to trade him now or lose out on 1st round picks and getting Rui for $17 million next year! Rui is a quality player that would fit well with the Pacers.
@@justthisguy1948 interesting, well I’d go with history and indiana hasn’t been to the finals since 2000 and I dont see them winning it with their team now. They’re still 1 piece away from
@@justthisguy1948 not beating then in a 7 game series. Stack your chips then trade them for a legit third star to pair with siakam and Haliburton this off season
Pelinka should never have used 2 years to get out of the Westbrook trade, the deal never got better, using a first round pick top 5 protected for vando, he could have gotten that anytime.
Pelinka trash traded a 1st pick, pope and Kuzma for Westbrook, team went from 1st when healthy to 8th play in. He let Caruso go for 8 mil a year? He traded a 1st r pick for Schroeder, then let him go for nothing. He then used a top 5 protected 1st just to get out of Westbrook, got d lo and Beasley trash, only vando is worth something. So he burned 3 first round picks, traded away 2 to 3 first round picks of assets in Kuzma and pope. He burned 5 first round picks of assets. Paid Rui 18 mil a year when no one is bidding. Burned another pick on schifino when you should have traded away for upgrade. Thats 7 first round picks wasted and counting
Rui and Reaves ain’t better than Lavine and come playoff time I’d trust Lavine to consistently ball out. Bulls could possibly offer a heavily protected first or some 2nd round picks for lakers including reaves. Which you can include to still get a Kessler. Lakers: Lavine, Kessler Utah: JHS, 1st round (bulls heavily protected), unprotected 1st round pick lakers 2029) Bulls: Rui, Reaves, Gabe, Wood Starters: Lavine, Max, Bron, AD, Kessler Bench: DFS, Vando, Knecht, Milton (or another guard per buyout market), Hayes
or other option is bulls, nets, lakers and pacers bulls get: rui hachimura and jhs and 2 2nd rd picks from pacers pacers get: cam johnson, reddish and nikola vucevic nets get: obi toppin, nesmith, hayes lakers 2029 pick and 2028 pacers pick and two 2nd rd pick from the lakers lakers get: myles turner, dayron sharpe and one 2nd rd pick from pacers
That's not fair he's playing 90% of his time at center because all of our other centers are freaking injured they like to be injured cuz it seems like as far as Christian would goes it seems like he does not want to be on the court and it really pisses me off it was very nice to get Vanderbilt back on the court
bulls, lakers and pacers pacers get: nikola vucevic and cam reddish bulls get: rui hachimura and jhs and two 2nd rd picks lakers get: myles turner and torrey craig 2nd option hawks, lakers and pacers pacers get: clint capela and 2029 1st hawks get: rui, jhs and one 2nd rd pick
The problem is LBJ and Anthony D aren't good enough of a pair to win a title. They've only beat bad teams the last two years. Why would you want the Lakers to give up more pics just to be bounced in the second round. Either LBJ takes a paycut or leaves, they soft rebuild with AD, or they do a total rebuild.
Don’t be surprised if Lebron takes a 30-35 million pay-cut this off season, do you think Lebron wouldn’t have this off season if there was somebody decent available? Before you mention Val, he’s not decent. If Kyrie goes too bron and tells him he wants to come to LA, do you really think bron doesn’t get him paid at his expense? Lebron wants #5 💍
@ Everything you said is a presumption. Do you know LBJ? Do you regularly speak with hin? Who know's what he's thinking. My problem with LBJ and Ant is they're the best players on the team. It's their job to elevate role players. Their entire time here they complain.
What can the lakers offer for turner 1st round picks and Rui not going to help indy. So trade away your future for a guy in bron who did not like Kobe or care about LA.
Would you use Rui salary for a big like Myles turner or a 2 way elite guard like lonzo ball? Lonzo would be crazy on our team in my opinion as a pass first point guard who is great defensively. We don’t have currently.
I don’t think we have the cap space but if we could get Lonzo ball and Jalen smith with miles turner in a 3 team deal with the bulls and pacers I think it would be worth giving up 2 picks and rui
@@evilepuna6089 In the playoffs, AD will spend the majority of time at center though I love turner. Lonzo, if healthy, would be our best point guard and never played off the floor. Also, lonzo may not require the same draft compensation as turner.
Turner is a perfect fit
Myles Turner to the Lakers! Get it done!
They have to now after trading AD for Luka
I'm ready for to start picking these players up.
Thanks. Great analysis. 👍
Myles turner it's big yessss to AL,Lakers deal

Pacers have a pretty good rotation. Halliburton, Nembhard, TJ, Mathurin, Nesmith, Pascal, Toppin & Turner
We need a 3D guard also , like Marcus smart , Caleb Martin cuz Austin reeves and Luka can’t handle the load defensively

If he would've waited a year we'd have a starting lineup of Kyrie-KCP-Max-Bron-AD with AR off the bench
It matters on what Indiana believes Turner will do in the offseason

Dang the lakers need and want all the players, bron not wanting to compete is rubbing off on the LA franchise.

Now AD is injured. Lakers loss to a depleted 76ers. Pelinka waiting for what? Just do the trade asap. No brainer
What can the lakers offer for turner 1st round picks and Rui not going to help indy. So trade away your future for a guy in bron who did not like Kobe or care about LA.
Pelinka catches a lot of heat but lowkey he’s tactical and silent when making trades. Lakers have options Turner, Kessler, Poetl, Vucevic, Jonas.
Pelinka catches heat because he deserves the heat . He broke up the championship roster and has wasted LeBron and AD .
