  1. If we trade Mathurin, I will instantly become a fan of whatever team he is traded to. It would be malpractice to trade him, ESPECIALLY for a trade as bad as the one shown above.

  2. whoever wrote that needs to be fired. Like seriously, that is comically out of touch with player values.

  3. I’d hate to see Nemby or Walker or really any of our young guys go

    I will, however, RIOT if we lose Benn for some bullshit like this

  4. Before we judge, two questions: (1) where in the 2nd round do we expect that pick to fall? and (2) does Clint Capela = Jokic?

  5. This is rage bait. It’s designed to get clicks and nothing else. SI is an absurdly far cry from their magazine days.

  6. I wouldn’t even want to do a Toppin for Capela trade straight up let alone all of the extra BS

  7. This is that same idea of a guy asking you to trade Patrick Mahomes for a wide receiver because your #1 and 2 are hurt.

  8. Worse than any Laker fan trade proposal I’ve seen in recent memory, and that is saying a lot.

  9. I don’t see us trading for a starting center unless Myles turner would be involved in the trade. People who make these trade proposals rarely think it through. Why would we want to trade for a Center just to have two high value, starting centers on the same roster? Also, I’d rather not give up a pick, a good role player, and a prospect scoring 20ppg and getting rebounds for a center even if we didn’t have turner.

  10. Reminds me of the myles turner/buddy hield trade packages I saw from lakers fans. I hate how every single fan trade idea ever absolutely fleeces us. We’re just expected to trade our entire future away for a bag of jellybeans and be happy about it because we’re the pacers

  11. Pacers’ fans will overrate Benn, especially after his hot shooting start this year, but even trying to get past that, this trade is batshit insane.

  12. I don’t say this jokingly, if the Pacers trade Mathurin this early right as he’s finally getting the chance to show who he can be, I’m done. Retire my fandom 95-24.

  13. Capela and a second for Mathurin, Toppin and a lottery-protected first. The crack must be hitting different.

  14. What if we gave you the best players in the deal AND a first, and you get to give us garbage! Shake?

  15. There’s no reason sports writers should be throwing out impossible trades under the NBA rules. Just extra lazy click bait. There’s more then enough resources out there to figure that out.
