    Wouldn't be a splash by any means but what about Taj Gibson?

    No chance Indy gives up Turner, but that would be a dream come true.

    Len, Bryant or Gibson is likely the center.

    Bryant would be a dream too, possibly bigger then Turner since he's paid less then half the money.

    Jarrett Allen
    Myles Turner
    Thon Maker
    Tristan Thompson
    Andre Drummond
    DeAndre Jordan
    Thomas Bryant

    Any of those guys would be great for us! I’m hoping it’s for Myles Turner!

    I always liked Taj, but now he's old and is Mike even playing him? Can't shoot the 3 and he's small for a center.

    Ok since it’s an EC team:
    Tristan Thompson (don’t see it)
    Larry Nance
    Christian Wood
    Thon Maker
    Myles Leonard
    Mitchell Robinson (doubtful)
    Mo Bamba
    Kyle O’Quinn
    Jonah Bolden
    DeAndre Jordan (doubtful)
    Of those which ones would you like to see. Some of them are more realistic than others obviously.

    I'll take the Defensive juggernaut who can shoot the three for $18 Million over the back up center on a team with a bunch of guys with inflated stats at $8 million.

    One of these guys literally sucks compared to the others.

    I think we found Holic's new account here @Juxtaposed Jolt :D

    Thomas isn't the back up in Washington lol, he's just coming off the bench now cause he was injured until a couple of weeks ago and the Wizards are tanking. Bryant actually played better then Turner this season before he got injured.

    Personally i also think Turner is way overrated, but that's just me.

    Didn’t think about Bryant. He would be really interesting.

    I can't believe we're talking about Myles Turner. That's not going to happen.

    He makes a lot of money at a position where they are already paying another guy a lot of money.

    His stats are really down this year and he is struggling to adjust. I'm not sure it's to the point where he would be traded for lower salary and a future first but it's possible just not probable. He's also a big enough name where I could see tilman paying luxury tax.

    House/Hartenstein/Chandler + all of our second rounders (there are three) + 2022 FRP is enough to make the trade work financially, it's just incredibly unlikely.

    Would love to have Kelly Olynyk or Meyers Leonard.
