I'll say again, I'm not thrilled with what we got for Sabonis. However I am not a hypocrite either, I wanted changes and I sure as hell got them. This sometimes is the price for change. That being said I am livid that we once again chose to keep soft as a baby's *** Turner.
Now it is coming out that Sabonis had let it be known he would prefer to move on, if this is true which I have no idea if it is or not, then I can understand the Pacers willingness to make a deal. What I don't understand is why that deal did not include a first round draft choice.

I like Goga too but TT is everything I want out of a defensive/rebounding big, I always hated Myles vs TT because Tristan would slap him around every time, just my preference.Comment

Sabonis is a center. Most teams want a rim runner that’s athletic and can switch on defense. If you provide that and some offense that’s good. That’s probably why the team is high on JacksonComment

BTW Diamond Dave also points out something to add to this.
If you have Haliburton and Duarte as your guards, do you really draft a Jayden Ivey? That would seem to be a glut in the back court unless you think one of them can play the three.Comment

Yesterday we had a team that we all knew was terrible and going absolutely nowhere. Today we have a team that at least has some upside, youth, athleticism, etc = things to look forward to.
If you really thought the team we had was awesome and going to win, I guess I can understand being upset? But I don't think anyone actually feels that way.*removed* Just keep politics and religion completely out of it, please.Comment

Probably not, but here's another way of looking at it... Imagine Haliburton somehow got released and had to be drafted. Where would he be picked in next year's draft. Top 5? Top 10? ... If we had gotten a top 10 pick for Domas, I think we'd all be happy. There's upside. That's all we can ask for.Comment

I have to look at the money for the ancillary pieces, but let me say something quickly at the key pieces
Haliburton's main issue is upside. Most people project him to have a Sabonis level upside. That's the bad side. The good news is that Haliburton is already a fair way to that upside (he's good now and young). The main reason I like this swap is that between Haliburton's size, shooting, and basketball IQ, he can play with just about anybody. It was hard building lineups around Sabonis. It's super easy finding players who can play with Haliburton.
If you were one of the posters who thought that Sabonis was being held back by the team and he actually has top 10 upside, then it's a bad trade. If you think Sabonis is always going to be a low level All-Star, I think this is a great swap.Comment

Im clearly higher on Haliburton than many here. Sabonis was my favourite player but I struggle to fault this trade in a rebuilding climate. Haliburton right now is averaging more assists than Brogdon ever has in his career and is doing it while sharing duties with Fox. Hes essentially top 10 assists and steals per game while shooting 40% from 3. Also, hes 21 and in the second year of a rookie deal."I’m your favorite player’s favorite player. And it’s not enough for me for him to know that. I want the world to know that." -- Michael BeasleyComment
