Thank God Larry Nance was in that trade. You need that small ball counter and he is the perfect guy and showed tonight. Hayes is just too inexperienced for that

Hayes isn't really any good at anything that isn't rim running and making wide open shots.

Yeah he's been invincible these 2 play-in games, will be interesting what DG does with him
This team is great defensively right now, Hayes brings energy even though he makes mistakes, it works when he is on. He is big with the 2nd unit, I'd keep him.

The West is so wide open, as is, with a healthy Zion and maybe a move for Myles Turner or somebody similar. Try try to scoop up an ONLY shooter nikka like Duncan Robinson, this team can compete.

The defense is so damn good man wow.

Turner and Val would be a deadly combo.

I rather make that move than trade for a guard like Brogdon with a bum achilles. Draft Ben Mathurin. Fix the center spot.

I wonder what Pacers are gonna do with Brogdon, Turner, and Hield.

I honestly like to acquire Malik Monk in FA and trade for Turner. I'd take a Brogdon and Turner combo if that's the only way to get Turner is to take on Brogdon, but that would force us to gut the following players.

Graham
Willy
Kira
Temple
Naji

Try to get Brogdon healthy and try to flip him at the deadline.

If you end up drafting Ivey, Mathurin or Sharpe.

I would prefer going Monk and Turner. I would like to combo up Jonas with a above average level 5 with some Rim protection. Jonas Willy and Hayes isn't a championship rotation and it needs to be improve.


Big no to Hield.

CJ - Jose
Benedict - Trey - Monk
Ingram - Jones - Naji
Zion - Nance - Hayes
Val - Myles Turner - Vet Min

Thats a squad with elite upside

I think they know Zion is close. Which is why they haven't announced anything yet. I feel like he had no chance.. They would of announced it already.
