Salary aside, Barrett is the only player in the starting lineup I wouldn’t trade straight up for the Pacer’s counterpart. Randle vs Sabonis is the only question mark.

But if we could pick up Brogdon and Turner, I dunno. I’d be deep in conversations.

I’d go all in for a brogdon/Turner combo.

C Turner
F Randle
F Barrett
G Fournier or Burks
PG Brogdon

That is a dangerous group if it clicks.

Fournier or Randle would have to be traded to even approach the salaries needed.

We only need Turner.

His impact would be as effective as D Rose acquisition last yr

Turner is better than Mitch overall - so it would probably help if the chemistry is good. That said, we would still need a PG or someone to help Randle not dominate the ball so much. This shouldn't be viewed as a one step move. We need at least three moves in my estimation.

In order for that not to happen you would have to hire a new coach.

Have you ever seen THIBS bark at Randle after one of his bone headed turnovers, he's quick to blame the refs or one of his teammates.

Rose, Taj and Randle can do no wrong in THIBS eyes

Not sure that it matters, but Randle also can't be traded until February.

His 6 months would be after the trade deadline as well - so not until the off season.

Just looked it up - Randle can't be traded until Feb 3rd. Trade deadline is Feb 10th so that leaves a week :)

I thought he signed the extension August 25th? Not that I expect anything to happen, but that's good to at least have flexibility should some amazing offer come up!
