You don't know what the Pacers are asking for. Sure ainge is a cheap ass, But he has a lot of assets on hand and just because he can offer really good picks doesn't mean he should offer them when no one else is. Sure pg is worth it, but you're really only worth what the market demands. No one is demanding Paul George right now because he is set on the Lakers.
I don't really know what Ainge would offer though...he has like 3 SF now so, i assume Brown should definitely be in the package, than what? Rozier? Meh...i think they want to keep Smart and Bradley unless they know for fact that Hayward is coming.
It's quiet almost every draft for the rockets except for the occasional 2nd round pick trades. This year won't be different.
Morey is the fluffer. Anytime he adds anything to the offer, The Pacers run to Ainge and say morey threw in another second give me your picks! Let's just put it like this, everyone thinks Paul George should go to the Celtics. If he was going to re-sign with them he would've made it clear that he would. They definitely have the assets to get him now and everyone knows it. He would bail on them because they still would not be good enough to win a championship even if they got porzingis. He wants that bonus he gets from his shoe deal when he signs with the lakers. He cares about endorsements too much. Some people are conceited and think their face should be everywhere.
At this point, wouldn't the #16 for Bev make perfect sense for both sides? Thibs would LOVE LOVE to have Bev on that newly minted roster. We need a 1st Rounder.
We don't know if a 16th pick would be enough though... On a side note, trade Pat to Minnie and they would be scary good...
Guys! Inside sources say Morey fell asleep before the draft. He normally takes a pre draft nap and overslept. Now he's racing to get the war room. He was quoted as saying "what can they do? Fire me? I just signed a big deal!" Lull C
I can tell you have been a Rockets fan for many years. You can't let Morey play with your emotions on draft night.
