Why? I don't like it.
I can see why they're trying this. George Hill has peaked and their backup point is always ass. If this is to compensate for Lance Stephenson not being retained then I'll say right now that it will possibly be enough.
As long as it doesn't revolve around James they can knock themselves out.
Pacers need a good PG badly imho, makes sense for them.
Good move. Now if they find a way to sell high on Hibbert. Pacers is one PG away and a competent big alongside West from being a legit contender.
A swap centered around Dragic/Lance makes sense for both teams tbh. Tho I guess it means the Suns would rather roll with Bledsoe as their starting PG instead of Dragic which is silly since Goran is the better player tho albeit older.
A Pacers lineup of Dragic/Hill/PG/West/Hibbert is an improvement over last years's lineup IMO.
It's a great deal for Indy but i don't see PHX doing it unless they love Bledsoe/Lance and don't wanna pay Dragic next year. Plus the last time they traded, PHX went in pretty hard on Bird tbh
How is trading Hibbert after that postseason run selling high?
LOL, why is Phoenix taking that call? Unless the offer is Paul George, I tell Bird to go himself.
Scratch that if I used it wrong then
I mean, getting some GM who'd fall for Hibbert's great albeit inconsistent play. His pre-ASB game was pretty good according to Pacers digest fwiw. Some gm out there, aside from Bird, is always stupid enough to do something just for the sake of moving during the off-season.
I don't see anybody taking Hibbert's contract after those last couple of months in the season. Maybe POR or the Nets if Billy King hasn't been murdered by the Russian mob yet tbh.
unless suns think bledshoe and dragic can not play together
but bledshow is injury prone and suns do not want to max dragic
They've nary other choice. He already laid the law down.
I wouldn't give up Paul for Dragic though. Dude's got franchise player potential.

Whispers are already out there, ZachLowe_NBA, about Indy trying to pull in Boston to construct some sort of multi-team deal involving Rondo

RT ZachLowe_NBA: Pacers have little on fringes to entice PHX on Dragic.Their interest, per @ESPNSteinLine, might hint at bigger discussions

Something to keep an eye on, though, with Indy known to covet an upgrade at PG and stubborn perception Suns can't afford Bledsoe AND Dragic
Pacers have nobody but PG. Lance shouldn't be enough and probably isn't the player you want on that young Suns team.
Bird's desperately trying to find someone that wants the guy he just lowballed.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Short of Paul George being offered, the Dragon isn't going anywhere.
Sign and trade Lance for Dragic + whatever it takes to match salaries. I would like this move for Indy.
Lance was offer 9 mil a year right? I thought that was fair imho.
That roster is pure cancer. I don't even like George and think he's overpaid, but I could see someone rolling the dice on him outside that toxic situation. The only player on that team I like is West, but he's too old.
Dragic was 3rd-team All-NBA last season and is only getting better. The only way Dragic gets traded is if a superstar comes to Phoenix in return. Lance won't cut it.
