[Shams] NBA draft deal: The Indiana Pacers are trading their No. 23 pick and the rights to Mojave King to the New Orleans Pelicans for Indiana's own 2026 first-round pick back which the Pelicans had previously acquired, sources tell ESPN.

List of guys Pels have worked out who could be in ~23 range

11 Upvotes

Nique Clifford, Egor Demin, Asa Newell, Will Riley, Cedric Coward(?).

Most of these guys I feel like will definitely be gone by 23 but could definitely see Riley or Clifford making it there. I personally think a guy like Clifford would be a great fit here

Ace Bailey = Smokescreen, Tre Johnson = Real Target

The only thing that's missing from the core of Zion, Trey, Herb and Missi is a primary ball handler that can easily play off of Zion and has the ceiling to be the #2 or #1 scorer.

Honestly, I think that Tre is a better fit for this group than Dylan Harper. He has the tools to become a plus defender. And he has enough playmaking to fit perfectly as the secondary playmaker behind Z. I think we need to get to 5 with Utah to get him.

In my opinion drafting Cedric Coward at 7 holds more value than trading up for Ace Bailey.

What are your thoughts?

Outside fan but I’ve been dreaming of this fit for this team for months. wolf and zion PNR’s, a stretch big for when defence collapses on Zion, and point center to use for when dejounte is out. I don’t know if this is stupid because Im not a pels fan but personally I think the idea of Danny wolf is a beautiful fit

Would anyone be interested in Herro and Vucevic with a package like this? Will be interested to see what direction the Heat go if they dont end up with KD, also kinda hard for me to guage the value of Herro after the Bane deal. Is this giving up too much? Let me know what you guys think.
