There isn't a direct path from KP to Turner but I think trading with one of these other teams will give you pieces that Indy wants. For a while I have thought Maxi would be a good Turner replacement and cheaper. As much as we like Turner, he has been a bit of a disappointment for Pacers and has been an awkward fit with Sabonis. In my view it makes more sense to move Turner than Sabonis if you are breaking up that twosome.
Bertans is another option that could be traded for Turner. There are different combinations where Dallas ends up with Turner plus a piece or two leftover. Those could be kept or flipped for other things. If Mavs are able to use cap space I'd love to get Dragic and Batum in here somehow.
I like that post, but that last sentence. It cracks me up every time. Now you all want to sign Batum. LOL. The shit I got, when suggesting, we should have traded Powell for Batum´s expiring contract, when Jordan tried to avoid the Batum buyout, so they could sign Hayward. Probably could have gotten an asset on top, too.
Everybody was like he´s the worst and he´s done. You can´t do that. We´ll be so much worse with Batum next year. We can´t afford to lose Powell right now.
1st round series:
Batum 7 games played on the winner: 32.1 MPG
Powell 7 games played on the loser: 7.4 MPG
Also Dragic is 35 years old for crying out loud. If he was Slovakian nobody would even consider signing him.
