TJ to the Pacers Done Deal

[UTeric32]

Looks like it is pretty much done...

Hopefully TJ can help turn that mess around. Things are setting up more and more for DJ to the Kings or Blazers...

It is not a "Done Deal" until it clears the NBA front office.

But if you were to say "Looks likely", then you would be correct.

 

[UTeric32]

n/m no sense in arguing with the post police...

You are correct sir....thank you for adding to this thread with such wisdom. My mistake...I bow down

Just saw the ESPN ticker say it's done.

so the raptors now have bosh and oneal? not too bad.

 

[VinceFord]

NOOOOOOOO. TJ can't catch a break. Another crappy team in a small market.

so where does DJ go now?

 

[VinceFord]

he could go to sacramento at 12 or Portland at 13....maybe he could fall to the Cavs at 19, but I doubt it...oh, and there is a chance he can be drafted by Indiana still as TJ's back-up

With the extra picks the Blazers have, I wonder how far they can move up in the top 10 picks if they want to?

 

[TomTerrific]

I ze hopin' he'd be a Knick.

Good news for TJ. He should be the #1 guy there. Also good for Raptors who get O'neal.

I am also watching the Sonics closely. With all of their picks they are in a good position to make a move up the draft board. They have to be a bit disappointed with #4 pick since there is very little talent that separates itself at the top. They could either trade up or trade some of their 2nd round picks for a higher 1st round selection to go after a guy like Love or Randolph.

Done deal? Big deal. No big deal.

As one of the only Raptors fans in Texas, I'm thrilled at getting O'neal. I'd rather have Ford starting but he has been injury prone and Calderon is a solid pg. Bosh & Oneal will be a force in the east and should give some options other than Bosh. Lose the 17th pick and Rasho but thats not a huge loss imo. Has there been another player named yet? The numbers don't add up to make it quite legal yet.

great fit for TJ imo. The pacers don't have any other ball dominant players, so TJ can keep the ball in the hands and make things happen for Granger and Dunleavy. This is exactly the type of team he needed to play on to start looking like Chris Paul.

Shouldn't affect Augustin too much. There is a good chance of Portland swapping with the Nets to pick Augustin at #10. If that doesn't happen, he could still very well go to Indiana also, as they will need a backup if they dump Tinsley. The Kings would be pretty much guaranteed to take him at #12 if he fell that far, and if the Blazers don't trade up Augustin would be their best pick at #13.

My hope is that the blazers/nets swap happens and DJ gets to play with Lamarcus and Brandon Roy. that would be a team to watch
