NBA Rumors: The most ridiculous Pacers trades we could find
By Joe Lyon
1. The Pacers decide what they need is another guard.
For those of us who watch the Pacers every game, we all know they definitely need one thing- more guards.
Of course, we all know that is absolutely not true as the team is entirely backlogged at guard. But that didn’t stop this site from proposing the following trade:
In this scenario, the Pacers leverage their entire future on Zach LaVine, a bet I’m sure that we would all make….
And while LaVine would probably instantly be the second best player on the team, this trade would immediately limit the ceiling the Pacers could have and we would inherit the problem the Bulls currently face: which is that they plainly aren’t good enough and don’t have any options to improve. We would essentially be taking our rebuild out at the knees.
Our ridiculous grade? We give this a 4 out of 5 stars. This trade is truly ridiculous, but at least the Pacers walk away with an All-Star. It would be a terrible decision for the team any way you look at it however.
