If I'm Ayton, Id rather be playing with the Pacers than the Lakers.

Not me. Winters in LA or Indy?

With Ayton, the Pacers won't be able to stretch the floor in the same way they could with Turner. Ayton can't hit a 3-point shot.
Ayton is a better rebounder, but I'm not sure what's left for Indiana. Maybe they can grab one of Houston's 4 centers.

I doubt winter season in California trumps a better payday.

Indiana have all of their picks. A trade seems likely indeed.

(07-01-2025, 09:29 AM)Nowitzki Way Wrote: Its looking like the Gafford/Lively pairing started the trend. OKC knew they had to get bigger and brought in Hartenstein.
Now we add AD to that, and teams are loading up.
But what is Houston going to do with Sengun, Adams, and Capela ??
OKC has two guys over 6' 5" in their top 9 and they stagger them as much as they can. They added Hart because they were undersized, but they are still not a very big team.
Looking at recent playoff success, the formula seems to be to have at least one big able to shoot or create and generally (but not always) one other rotational big. Thats it. The Mavs were an outlier for having two rotation non shooting/creation bigs (they actually made it to the WCF with a poor mans version of this formula with Maxi/Powell).
AD gives the Mavs a creation big. What makes sense is to use the same formula as OKC and start Lively/AD together but stagger them as much as possible. I get that AD and Lively are injury prone, but Chet and Hart missed almost a seasons worth of games between the two of them with nothing behind them and it didn't stop OKC from winning 68 games. Paying 18 mil for a third center is massive overkill, and it has the added negative that it is pushing guys out of their natural position. There is very little recent playoff history that suggests playing that big will be successful.
I have no idea what Houston is doing.

BREAKING: Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is not pleased with the team’s decision to waive Damian Lillard, league sources tell me.

Denver is cooking. Adding size in Jonas and giving up Saric, who couldn't play for them. If that is all it is, I have no idea what Sac is thinking. More size in the West.

Don't forget, Ayton signed an offer sheet with Indy and was pissed when the Suns matched. He's the obvious fit.

The Sacramento Kings are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric, sources tell ESPN.

Well if we can get a deal done to free up some money maybe we can get Irving a rehab buddy and pair him with Damian.

Chris Haynes on Damian Lillard getting waived:
"He was surprised..[The Bucks] did not tell Dame that this was coming...I was told that Dame found out about his situation just like everybody else found out

Miami Heat will look to sign Damian Lillard as he recovers from his Achilles injury

How valuable do you see big brother Nemhardt?

Crazy how three Achilles injuries drastically changed 3 franchises.

Playing with that Luka guy could fetch him a lot more money next season...
