W/o haliburton for the season and with most of their core being 25 and under the pacers have an opportunity to get a high draft and get the most value out of their vets. After the finals run tj and siakam are at their peak value as trade assets.

The rockets get a serviceable cheap replacement for FVV while giving a weak draft pick and a rotation player

The pistons get an all star forward to make them contenders out of the east for a non playing ron holland an expiring vet in harris and 3frps…

How I got players

Indiana-There are 28 seats on the bus and Indiana’s colors are most similar to a bus

Washington-At a school the colors are red white and blue and young people go there so I took young guys from a team with the same colors

Picks-I gave a second for everyone who knows stuff about basketball who goes to the high school and a first for middle schoolers

I hope you guys enjoyed…

The Donte trade is a 3 team trade but could only fit 5 teams. Picks are not included.

2026 draft: getting A Pg,

Signing Jeff green VIA 2026 FA

Starters: Haliburtan,Nembhard,Murphy,Siakam,Onyeka Bench: Donte,Nesmith,DJJ,Jackson,Furphy,Huff…

Celtics give up all their draft stock to make this happen.

Bucks do this in a heartbeat, Paolo, Anfernee, D White, Nesmith, Goga, Jordan Walsh would be a nice cherry on top

Magic, do it for draft picks. So in other words, they don't give up Paolo in a million years. But imagine one of them was guaranteed to be Dybantsa, then they might consider it. Or Boozer.

Pacers, don't do this. but that's not the point. Pretend they accidentally accept or something and then are too embarrassed to admit they fucked up. que someone telling me this is actually a good trade for Indiana just cuz I said that….

Thoughts?…

Who passes?…

As much as I love TJ in Indy, 2 firsts for him should be able to get the deal done for them. For Houston, it’s getting a starting PG for this year and a super 6 man to help boost championship chances.

Thoughts?…

Pacers are taking a gap year. They should sell high on 33 yr old TJ on his 4 year deal. They get Jordan Goodwin, a nice young player and cap relief.

Lakers get hard nosed backup PG to win now. Maybe they throw in a 2nd….

Suns- Fix Their PG Problem.

Magic- Even after Adding bane, They still have a Problem with their 3 point shooting And Also Need a Guy who can Backup Paulo/Franz. O Neal Can fix that with his Elite 3 point shooting. (Moving Da Silva Because they wouldn't Have a Roster Spot.

Pacers- Get a replacement for Turner….

this trade speeks for it's self…

trading JJJ to Boston, if Boston doesn't land D Book or Sabonis or Bam first. Derrick White replacing Desmond Bane. Lining up to trade TJ and Bradley and a pick and someone like Konchar for a player like Vuc- or packaging KCP too and seeing what you can get in return. Memphis would have options….

Who says no?…

The Ishbia Suns seem to want to win and Jalen Green seems like a trade asset in waiting. They are overloaded at shooting guard still and lack quality players at PG and PF.

Toppin is a good athlete who can play off Booker and lets Oso develop a bit. TJ is a solid playmaker who might be overextended as a starter but can probably stagger with Booker a little. And they get some needed draft capital. Plus they are pretty deep now and well set up for a consolidation trade if needed.

McConnell - Booker - Brooks - Toppin - Williams

Bench: Goodwin - Allen - O'Neale - Igodharo - Richards - Maluach

I continue to think the Pacers should sell high on TJ who will be 33 by the time Hali is back. Small guards don't age well and they will get value for him. Walker can fill Toppin's role. They get a good defensive center in this deal plus a (late-ish) FRP in exchange for two rotation players.

Nets get to try to make Green into a star and, at worst, increase his trade value by giving him minutes. …
