USA Today: Pacers inquired about Davis and Crabbe

Not for PG, but to put alongside him.

Bird is known to be searching for options that would ease George's concerns, inquiring about players like Philadelphia’s Jahlil Okafor, the Sacramento Kings’ Arron Afflalo, Portland’s Allen Crabbe and Ed Davis. Yet if he can’t make significant moves, and if the Pacers (29-28, sixth in the Eastern Conference) seem destined to tread water while George ponders the notion of heading West, then maybe it's time for Bird to turn the page on the Paul George era.

Where is their draft pick sitting at right now?

Send them ASAP while the Pacers are in desperation mode!

18.

I'd help em dump Big Al's contract for that pick while giving them Davis and his reasonable deal.

Sounds good to me, if we can get another 1 or even 2 draft picks we might be able to really move up on draft day and get a really good player.

Unfortunately Crabbe makes too much money. There isn't a decent contract available to trade there.

That'd put us over the tax line though. Maybe Crabbe for Al and Stuckey?

Also, Jefferson only makes 10.3M. Is he really a salary dump?

 

[craigehlo]

I'd take Thad Young, but the Pacers likely wouldn't make him available in a deal.

 

[Cliff1976]

if possible, why not get it done? I wouldn't hesitate.

 

[ripcityboy]

Makes me wonder if the Pacers have reached the point where they've decided to trade George as they can't put enough around him.

 

[Scalma]

Crabbe and Davis for Jefferson, Monta, and their pick, plus another future pick?

Good call. Al has 2 more years left, though. Ed's is expiring next season.

I'm guessing they'd like to get rid of Monta.

crab n dviss 4 pg hu sez no?

 

[BonesJones]

Shit, I'd do Davis for their 1st in a heartbeat.

 

[Boob-No-More]

N dee Anna.

Bee in em

Who would have ever thought that a referee would be traded for an All-Star!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I'd like to add Thaddeus Young to our roster, but he's on year two of a 4 year $54 million contract (player option for 4th year).

[Natebishop3]

So now that we know that BNM and BRoy shared the Odenormous account, when are we getting some more of that homemade 'Zers gear?

 

[BonesJones]

We Get: Stuckey, IND 1st
They Get: Davis, CLE 1st

Get it done Neil!

 

[Norman Dale]

Just throwin' this out there:

Crabbe, Davis, Ezeli and our 3 2017 first round picks for Paul George, Monta Ellis, Lavoy Allen and their 2017 first round pick and 2017 second round pick.

Feel free to tear apart.

Define "really move up."

 

[Mediocre Man]

As stated last week, Portland still trying to contend. Unless that's changed, expect a lot of stories like this.

This has to be a fucking joke.

EDIT: I didn't see "PG" lol.

I'd like to believe our front office isn't this retarded.

Unless you mean contend for a playoff spot?

Yes

 

[BonesJones]

Yes

Still dumb. What's the value they see in that? They want to watch us get shit on by Golden State?

Actually it's probably because of the money... Smh.

He did say tear it up.

Preaching to the choir

 

[santeesioux]

High enough to get one of those supposed 6-8 elite players in the draft.
