Which member of the 8 Points, 9 Seconds staff would you trade, and what would you want in return?

Matthes: All of us for Adrian Wojnarowski. (Editor’s note: We’ll need a lot of cash considerations, too.)

Breece: I wouldn’t trade a single one😉 unless I was offered a Lance jersey, then take your pick.

Furr: It would have to be Ryan Eggers, right? He’s been on a hot streak so far this season (something like 6 straight awesome content filled weeks). It might be time to sell high! Eggers is a young talent, but it seems like he craves bright lights outside of Indiana.

Rather than take an L and let a talented young writer walk for nothing, GM Ben Gibson should look to secure some kind of return for him. Ideally, we’d look for young players who value the tradition 8 Points, 9 Seconds represents, and who would treat Indiana like home accordingly.

Hughes: Ryan Eggers has risen from the dead, turning his trade value from “an old ham sandwich” to “a decent writer that may only sometimes annoy you.” Selling high on Eggers would be a smart move for 8 Points, 9 Seconds.

Next: Pacers worth over $1 billion

Eggers: I’d trade anyone on the squad for Chris Denari and his home water system. With Kinetico, I can trust that Denari will always bring soft water to the team, whether it be for showering, cooking or drinking. That’s the kind of asset that’s invaluable to a young team on the rise.
