Pacer/Cavs swap Turner/Jackson for Allen. Hield for Strus & Wade to make $ work. IND Caruso, CLE Andre D., Bulls-Jones/TJ 2nds.


Thoughts, I honestly didn't want to include I-Jacks.. But I wanted it to be as fair as possible. By not allowing anyone's Defense to take a hit. This allows both teams to stay contending and give them different options. Also a different look and schemes they can run now. As Cleveland can now be even more scarier than ever. Because once Mobley is back healthy. He was getting 22 boards some game's. He's down there now with no one in his way. He can kick those boards back to Turner, Hield who's 43% from 3, or Mitchell. Then getting Drummond gives them that backup big body big who's still putting up great numbers on limited minutes. Can give you 10 and 8 in 12 mins. Then I-Jacks is a scrappy lob threat on ball and low post defender. He can take some guy's backing on him a bit, then pit of nowhere jump 10 feet off the floor and block their shots. Lol.. so to me this is more than a fair trade. Cavs may actually be the more beneficiary here.. But my Pacers need Defense and I know Strus has had a down year. But I think, or hope he can pick it up with my Pacers. Then we have Smith for stretching the floor as our backup C if we need to play him along Pascal for awhile that way. But honestly I just wanted us to get a big that's a little bit better at rebounding and can hold their own a little more against the bigger C's in the league.

I'm going to do another scenario of this same trade where Pacers and Cavs keep Allen and instead Pacers trade for Drummond. Probably more realistic. I'd love to have him as well as a big for those bigger guy's. Maybe then we can also keep I-Jacks. Lol
