Top 5 Trades for a PG That Actually Work

Don’t see the Warriors doing that trade cause I kinda doubt they take Troy back. Felton or Conley seem the most realistic. I like Felton more then Conley.

I think if the Pacers make a trade, they would wan to do a 2-1 kinda deal. If they do sign all 3 draft picks they have no more roster spots. I know the Pacers are kinda high on Marcus Williams of the D-League as well…and he can play some PG.

I honestly wouldn’t mind Agent 0, but I think a player like him will hinder the development of Hibbert, Hansborough, George and Stevenson.

I think getting a young PG to go along with our young guys would be ideal. I really think Ramon Sessions might be the best gamble if Kahn can get his head out of his ass. Rush + Filler might be enough. Go ahead and add a 2nd round pick too since Kahn loves collecting draft picks.

I wanted the Pacers to find a way to get sessions last year I think he has all sorts of potential.I also hear Indy might make a run at Farmar if the lakers don’t resign him,I wouldn’t mind if the Pacers gave him a shot at the starting point guard.

1. GS probably wouldn’t do it. I’d love it. acquiring a star like Ellis is the type of move the Pacers need to make to become legit. Your deal works out fine, but the Pacers would have to throw in a draft pick, I bet, and probably wait until the deadline to do it so the Warriors will know they’re not making the playoffs and Murphy’s expiring contract with 30-some-odd games left on it becomes so much more valuable. Still doubt they’d bite, but you never know.

2. I only want Arenas if the Wizards were to somehow buy him out and the Pacers could sign him for the mid-level or lower. You said you used Trade Machine, so surely you know how bad his contract is? I mean, the $17.7 he’s going to make this year is nothing. He makes $19m/$21/$22 over the following three seasons, and will be 31, still injury-prone, and still crazy when his deal’s done. Trading for him with that contract is the move that could send this franchise off to Kansas City or some other town. No thanks.

3. I don’t mind Jose Calderon, but did you know he makes the around the same money as Steve Nash, and just slightly less than Chauncey Billups? He’s grossly overpaid for his production. He basically had that one year where he stole T.J. Ford’s job, and he’s been injury-prone and underwhelming since. Also, he turns 29 this fall. I’d stay away from him unless the Raptors were willing to send back Derozan. Murphy for the two of them works and gives the Raptors a taker for Calderon’s horrid deal. But I doubt they part with Derozan, even if they are cleaning shop this year and trying to land a free agent next season. The Raptors are kind of in the same situation the Pacers are in, now that Bosh is leaving; no one wants to play there, they didn’t have any lottery luck and they don’t have many assets to acquire studs. So getting Murphy, who’s basically an Andrea Bargnani clone, doesn’t make sense.

4. I like Felton. Always have. I think he’s worth the money you suggest. I don’t think Foster can pass any physicals, which will make trading him difficult. But if it’s expriings they want, we’ve got boatloads of ’em.

5. I like Conley too. And Memphis can absorb Foster. But as I’ve said to a few people on this site, I think they’ve got something planned for their cap space, or otherwise, why would they have sold a draft pick? I don’t know what their plan is, but I doubt it involves taking on our shitty players for their good ones. I think once Memphis loses Gay for sure, Rush and a future heavily-protected first rounder might be enough to pry away Conley.

I disagree with your “young assets” assumption. Not all of those teams are looking for more young assets. NO is probably looking for someone to just take their crap (Posey or Okafor). Denver’s not looking to trade Lawson at all, I think that was just a big rumor. OKC is looking to clear future cap space for the massive extensions they’re going to have to sign next season. That said, I think Collison and Maynor are still on the table, but getting either would require draft picks, and they may not be worth it yet (maybe at the deadline, maybe not).

I hate the idea of bringing the mental, injury-prone Gilbert Arenas. He’s like a smaller Ron Artest, speaking in terms of mentality (perhaps thats a bit much). I think Ellis would be crushed by JOB because he would think "Why isn’t he jacking up more threes!?! cough Dahntay Jones Cough And, then bench him despite him offering more to the team than other players. I’d be willing to take the others, although I’m not as crazy about them as others would be.

They gave Tyrus Thomas a ~$6.5mm qualifying offer that puts them too close to the luxury tax to take on the money Felton would sign for. Jordan’s said they aren’t paying the tax.

The super speedy Aussie that torched team USA in the Olympics. Can’t seem to get off the bench in Portland. I think he’s a FA, you would think we’d be able to afford him.

If the Pacers go after Farmer, would they do a sign and trade? They only have 3 spots open, so if they just sign Farmer, then one of the draft picks isn’t going to sign. Larry paid some cash to move up and take Magnum Rolle, so hopefully they don’t just pay money to let him walk. I’m sure Stevenson and George will make the team.

Unless they cut AJ Price (I hope not), the Pacers need to swing some kind of trade for a PG.
