The only way the Pacers are having a conversation about Haliburton is if we are offering up Wemby. Ain't happening.
I would trade Keldon Johnson and top 2-3 picks for Tyrese Haliburton.

Spurs getting Cade while still having all their own future picks and all the ATL picks is beyond a gamble worth taking IMVHO
But makes no sense for DET to trade Cade unless he asks out.
A couple trades I'd be interested in exploring would be offering KJ + Sochan to Brooklyn for Bridges.... and lowkey trade offering the Charlotte pick (which won't convey as a 1st) back to Charlotte for NSJ.
Too bad real life isn't NBA2K. I've completely rebuilt our team and to start next season here is our roster:
Topic/Micic/Tre Jones
Ivey/Clarkson/
Ron Holland/Hayward
Jarace Walker/Jalen Smith/Cedi
Wemby/Bassey/Mamu
I picked up more picks in the process as well... lol
What did ypu give to get Walker? I've maintained he'd be a better fit next to Wemby than Sochan.
If we can get cade for any collection of players not named wemby and devin and for picks that are not our unprotected 1st this year you do it. Anybody who watches Cade play can tell he is a great player stuck on trash team...like Wemby. Cade and Wemby would solidify our core going forward and Cade max would be a drop in the bucket after year 3 of the salary cap going up.
Our front offices only know how to get the Cedi Osmans of the world though so 0% chance their is any traction on this. And the Pistons could lose Cade for nothing.
Even the Chicago and Toronto pick is kind of expensive for him unless you can unload Zach Collins' money in the trade. Cunningham is absolute trash defensively, and he'd need to be a high end shooter to make for that IMO.
I made a previous move for Jerami Grant and then sent him and a couple of firsts for Walker.
Trade engine is too easy to exploit in 2K though. I built that roster and also have the following future FRPs:
2025 Pistons
2025 Cavs
2025 Hawks
2025 Spurs
2025 Pacers (Top 3 Protected)
2026 Nets
2026 Spurs
2026 Celtics
2026 Swap with Hawks
2027 Cavs
2027 Spurs
2027 Hawks
2027 Jazz
2027 Mavericks
2028 Spurs
2028 Warrios
2028 Swap with Celtics
Honestly now that I take inventory... this isn't that fun.
Piston team owner, Gores met with Williams and GM Weaver yesterday and did an interview where he stressed that changes were coming. It was clear that Weaver is on the hot seat. Desperate GMs are where you can get the best deals from.
My 2k team would murder that team tbh
Haliburton
Vassell
Anunoby
Durant
Wembanyama
Why? He has been extremely disappointing since coming into the league and on top of his terrible defense and shooting he's also a China doll who will be expecting a big payday in two years.
Posters continue to think that guys in the league 3 years still have the same upside as they did when drafted, and they don’t.
He's clearly got a sub All-NBA ceiling, but it's still too early for the Pistons to pull the plug for draft equity, when they've been in a re-build for a while, probably don't have a better prospect, are a virtual lock to get co best odds for the 1st pick anyway and there's no projected All-Stars in this draft.
Even when combined with some of the Spurs better long term draft equity, it'd be a difficult sell to their already tortured fanbase.
I also wouldn't do it from a Spurs perspective. No more investing significant assets in players who rate poor analytically.
If they're going to trade significant draft capital, save it for someone like Mitc (if he'd be open to re-signing; his preference is to be in New York).
The Nets supposedly turned down 4 1sts for Bridges last season.
Honestly does anyone trust the current front office to draft real talent. Kawai was dumb luck. How can they miss on sangun, Halliburton, drafting losers like samanic, primo, letting go of Derick White etc. jmho
^ Every team has plenty of misses; it's just the nature of the beast. But as has been discussed ad nauseam, Haliburton and Sengun were obvious at the time.
Their problem, seemingly now more than ever, is that they clearly believe their own hype when it comes to player development and are obsessed with their narrow minded definition of what a Spur "should" be.
They also don't value analytics and that's why we see things like them expending 4 1sts, 2 in the lottery, in '21-'22, on probable replacement players.
You can't say Kawhi was luck. It was a masterful stroke, but Wright wasn't the shot caller then. Letting White go was an effort to get Wemby which paid off. While I think Boston will end up with the best end of the trade we won't know until 2028 and maybe even later if the swap pans out. This team needs to be drafting at the top of the draft where the odds of picking a winner are much higher. They seem to have a knack for choosing diamonds in the rough at the end of the draft, but I submit it is really that the Spurs do an excellent job of developing talent. Players at the end of the draft have low expectations attached to them and when the Spurs develop them into above average players it seems like they drafted really well. In all likelihood a number of players that could have been drafted there could have developed similarly under the Spurs superior development system.
Not really.
Most definitely not.Kawai was dumb luck.
Yeah, that was idiotic.How can they miss on sangun,
We had both Murray and White on the roster, Vassell made more sense.Halliburton,
Everyone picked after him is trash, you could argue that Keldon is the best player and they got him with #29 pick.drafting losers like samanic,
The only big up, imo, is not drafting Sengun.
Duren or Williams instead of Sochan would've been better. And Kessler instead of Branham.
But we got Wemby, so all of that is whataboutism and irrelevant.
What we do need is to get rid of all these awful defenders.
That's why i want to explore it. Things change and they might have a different set of values regarding their team now.
I believe they want to bring in another star (Mitc ?), not tear it down.
Either way, it'd take a of a lot more than Johnson and Sochan.
Welcome to Spurs Basketball....where it's all about trades.
Best part of that? You don't have to buy a ticket...
It would cost more than those two for sure..
Onward and upward.Imagine getting traded from the worst team in the league to the 2nd worst team in the league
stupid trade for what the spurms are trying to achieve now, stay on the road of the tankathon....
spurms got the tank commander and tank general brett brown (4 years in a row tanking with the 76s) trust the process....and see them all leave in the future just like the rookies on that 76s team
