    I don't think Turner is untouchable at all, the real problem is that, since Rob seems to make whatever move, that's opposite to what the media says he going to do, I'd be shocked if it actually happened. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Myles Turner got moved. it just probably won't be here. Hield either, but we'll see.

    I'd be very pleasantly surprised if we managed to get Turner and/or Hield today. Surprised for almost the opposite reason one would think - just that we've had them as targets for so long that it doesn't seem likely to come together at this late date, especially since we've already been on the phone with Indy to make the 47 for 40 pick trade and I would think if Turner/Hield were in the cards that would have happened too.

    We weren't blown out in all 4 games, the games were close and decided by some shots by Jokic and Murray that went in. This was with an injured lebron and AD and DLO who no showed. Need i remind you this was also in the WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS and not some 1st round exit. Before Denver DLo played good against Memphis and GS and lest we forget played very well in helping win games without lebron to get us the playoffs to begin with so im not gonna worry as much if we bring him back. You know what a full training camp and preseason gives us? Chemistry. This team was put together with only 25 games left and we kicked a** and were the 2nd best team in the West and did it mostly without Lebron. I would rather have these guys play a whole season together with a healthy lebron and AD no matter what happens in the West i think we can still make the playoffs and then who knows.

    D'Angelo played ok in the previous two series, but he also got paid 31M. He was supposed to show up, counted on to show up, he was supposed to show up in the Conference Finals too. Our goal isn't to make the playoffs.

    A healthy Lebron and AD is the mantra in every season. However we all know, that's not a given to happen in this upcoming campaign at all. Again I'm not banking on just about everybody in the West, being mediocre again this season. I'd like to see some upgrades.

    Fwiw. D'Angelo only played in 8 games without Lebron, he sprained an ankle and missed a month. He missed 3 games after Lebron came back too.

    Not sure how a Minny reporter has a Laker "scoop." My guess is clickbait.

    Dudes and dudettes. Come to the Game Day. It's lonely. And the Draft is boring.

    I love Alex, but that would put the PG duties squarely on AR's shoulders and I've been told that's bad.

    So, Pacers selected Bilal... A Turner replacement, since the latter is traded to us? One can dream.

    Negative. Walker to Indy. Bilal flipped to Wiz.

    We have no perimeter stopper. We had no one to slow down Murray
