Pacers listening to pitches on Malcolm Brogdon; Could Sabonis be next?

Guaranteed B2B, imho.

If I were the Lakers I'd probably rather have LMA tbh. He's not as much of a usage hog and can play within the offense and get high quality looks.

Drummond forces way too much and tries to be a ball handler when he's not

Brogdon could be a big add for whoever picks him up.

I'd give up John Collins for Sabonis. He'd be an incredible fit honestly either he or Brogdon would fit really well with the Hawks.

Brogdon would not be happy with the Hawks.

I'd prefer Brogdon - allow Trae to play more off-ball and bring a tough defender that can guard the opponent's best guard.

sabonis is at +4.2 with Brogdon/Holiday/McDermott/Turner, but then -9.6 if you switch out McD for Lamb... those are the two most-used lineups with both he and Turner in the lineup. I take that to mean that he likely wouldn't be a great fit with Capela, but that it can work if you have 3 plus shooters also on the floor. I think moving Capela would be a mistake as he's just too good of a defender inside, and with Trae you kinda need that.

Perfect world he ends up in Philly/Miami/LA. Atlanta isn't a "true" contender. I'd rather have Sabonis though in the A. He's a better passer than JC and signed long term

I do think though once again the Capela issue might hurt with Sabonis

I would love LMA but it would have to be a buyout scenario, since the Lakers don’t have anything Pop would want, nevermind the fact that he doesn’t like dealing with the Lakers.

Not really a fan of Drummond tbh but he’s way better than Gasol at this point of their careers.

Don’t think being a contender is the problem. It’s having to play with someone like Trae.

brothertona · 03-23-2021, 11:42 AM

Trae has been a model citizen since the JC incident earlier. He's more deferential, and has increased his efficiency.

Yes, but Brogdon wants to be the primary ball handler. Do we really think Trae would give that up?

Very true, definitely not

Which is the issue with Lonzo as well

Not sure what contender has an opening for lead ball handler... maybe Miami, but they seem pretty keen on Lowry [if he leaves Toronto]. Other option might be Boston, but Ainge can't seem to make a deal unless he's getting a steal, and I don't think Indiana is just going to give Brogdon away, no reason to... so I don't know about that fit either, also presumably they'd need to take Kemba back, and I don't think Ainge wants to pay what they'd ask to take on his salary.

Here’s one guy that will get plenty of suitors.

Maybe we watched two different LMAs this season? Or maybe it's just a matter of motivation. imo his legs and motor are just not there. It's one of the reasons the Spurs started playing better once he was out, moved to the bench, then ruled out. He can step out and knock down a couple jumpers but if the first few don't fall, it's a long night. Forget about the defensive side of the ball

Why? He’s a league average three point shooter and a terrible defender. And he’s coming off an injury.

Dame · 03-23-2021, 04:16 PM

Career 41% 3FG who doesn't require a lot of touches is a no brainer for any contending team, these teams usually stack the deck anyway.

Ultra low risk too, since it will be for the league minimum.

Not sure how you can use this as reasoning to want him when he's shooting a career low from three. There's a reason he's having the worst season of his career. It's not a fluke.

He'll get picked up as a bench guy you can rely on in the playoffs to get a few shots for.

I'd love to see Philly pick him up for pennies to get more scoring on the court for it's second unit. He'd also be good at the end of games when you can call a timeout and set your offensive unit out there to get a shot. You need guys like that for a title run.

But I think he's past the day of being a #3-4 guy in the starting lineup for a real contender.

I get it, but still don't think what he provides on offense outweighs how bad he is on defense. Although a defense like Philly could cover that up.

You chose a prolific shooter's 31 game sample size over a career 41% arc and called it a fluke? Seriously man.

Not sure why you're even arguing. If he's bought out, he'll get plenty of offers.

Why do you need him for his defense? There's always stretches in the playoffs, crucial possessions, quarters where you simply want shooters in place.

This is not a new concept man. Come on. Talking defense with Reddick as if they're bringing him to dominate on both ends of the floor is outrageous.
