I currently have a Nerlens poster up in my room. I may turn it into a process memorial and put up a picture of Hinkie with it.

If I didn't quit the Pacers after the Malice in the Palace, I'm not going to quit the Pacers for anything.
Do I trust Bryan Colangelo to not fuck that up tho. That's the real issue. Dude couldn't find a way to win with Chris Bosh, HOF PF on his team. I don't know if I can
Sixers have $46.4 million on the books with a $102 million cap next year, so apparently we can't resign Noel ever

Fuck Brian Colangelo. What a damn hack of a GM.
Honestly "The Process" is more contingent on the health Joel Embiid more than any other single piece.
He believes that "PizzaGate" is real. You know, the child sex-ring that takes place under Comet Pizza in Washington DC. Perpetrated by Hillary Clinton. I am not making this up.

Speaking of,
Still no concrete, definitive evidence that the world isn't flat.

I know I don't trust him.
Yeah it's a tough call, but you'd think having him spend a season and a half in Boston should be enough to convince him to stay.
Trading a 1st for a rental is tough, so you'd have to commit to re-signing him. He's going to make a lot of money this offseason.
Right, which is why if the Sixers were deadset on moving him waiting to execute a sign-and-trade would have been the best move. Dealing him now was basically trading him when his value was as low as it was going to get.

The stumbling block, I think, is that the Celtics didn't have Justin Anderson.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd going into riot mode if they traded for him then he went to the Lakers...
Justin Anderson is the next Buddy Hield.

Also required: Brad Stevens

no hit. He is EXACTLY what they needed. They have 2 firsts and 3 2nd round picks this year. WTF Danny....
That's bad for the Pacers unless they include Brad Stevens in there.

Protect the pick for like the top spot or change it to 2018 and yeah I'd do that like crazy.

Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley and the 2017 pick in a heartbeat
you'd gut the team and give our most valuable pick for one guy? fuck that.
Absolutely, but that's less than the supposed asking price.

So basically, since Ainge can't screw anyone over, so he's going to do $hit...
It's not April 1st.

Your source is Magic Johnson, isn't it?
pacers don't need pieces, we need a second star. this trade seems bad for both teams.
Couple reasons:
1) He's a RFA this summer, so if he doesn't fit in your immediate and long-term plans, what is the point?
2) I doubt that 2 2nd rounders would've been the price from the Celtics, considering they turned down more than that this past summer, and he'd be traded within the division. You can't just make apples to apples comparisons between teams - it's not how trades work.
I agree he would've been a nice fit in a lot of ways.
Danny would be getting screwed over if he traded 4 valuable pieces for a guy who might leave after next year.

Mavs stole Nerlens Noel. They get control to resign a guy who can fill in that Tyson Chandler role in Carlisle's system.

Yeah that might be a bit much, but if Danny manages to get that down to two out of those guys plus another pick (not from the Nets) I'd definitely do that.
lmao yeah that sounds very reasonable

Mudiay, Gallo, Faried and an unprotected first maybe? Wonder if they threw Murray in too.
Shockingly, you'd have to give up something of value to get one of the league's best players.
I'd pass on that. The draft pick wouldn't be good enough and I don't even know if Mudiay is good.
Lol please, I'm not saying we shouldn't give up anything to get George. Giving up 3 cost controlled quality young players PLUS the Nets pick is insanity and you know it.

I'm not saying that the proposed trade was good at all, I'm just saying Danny's reputation around the NBA with other executives still stands true that unless Danny is 100% getting the better deal out of it, he will not pull the trigger on trades.
Not really. I don't think I'd pull the trigger on that trade unless there's someone as good as, say, John Wall in the draft. (I don't watch college ball so I have no clue how good those kids are).
Remember, Myles Turner might be really good. He and George could be a great core moving forward. Pacers wouldn't move away from that for nothing.

I'll just go back to my initial prediction; Danny is not going to do ANYTHING of importance again this year.
5 more players to stash overseas next year, lol
