Thunder/Pacers Talking Trade

I really like Maynor – good for both teams.

is the new kevin pritchard

orton the next marvin williams. I like how the Thunder are doing so much work this draft kudos to them

E.Maynor is a very capable PG, i mean just look at the numbers when he filled in for D.Will, he also got pretty good PT in the playoffs. He probably wont be an All-star caliber PG, but he will get the work done. I think a role where he splits time with another PG like Caledron and Jack would be a situation where he flourishes

I doubt they are moving up for Orton…I’d be willing to bet it’s to take Aldrich though.

ya i really hope they dont move up this much to get Orton, way too much of reach. Hopefully a player like Monroe drops to them and in a realistic situation they get Aldrich. Maybe they even trade their picks for a capable proven post player?

I think this deal would mean OKC won’t be picking Orton.

but a reach, he has no upside.

Ed Davis coulb be the real target, with Whiteside as a fall back.

To bad Monroe dosent slip to 10 he would be great with KD.

Aldrich would make sense to deal up for, though if you read the tea leaves he does not appear to have the momentum. Why would a team deal up before picks are taken? It is to beat a team to a spot they already possess. Supposedly the Raptors like Solomon Alabi at 13, and it is also rumored that the Thunder like him. Memphis probably won’t want to deal down if they like George as much as rumored, and New Orleans might not be looking to deal for bulk. I don’t like Alabi, but I think that is the name that would make the most sense.

Eric Maynor was my 2nd favorite player in last years draft.

If Indiana took this deal, they would have a great PG and picks? Do it!

If it happens, i like the thunder taking Aldrich, They already took upside big men in the past, look where that brought them. I Like them taking Aldrich in this spot

Actually, if you had been paying attention the last few days, Alldayyy, you’d know that Orton is the one that is falling, where Aldrich had been late lottery probable for weeks.

The T-Wolves turned down a trade for Flynn. The Nuggets took Lawson off of the table. The Hornets are requiring too much for Collison. The Spurs aren’t willing to let go of George Hill.

It looks like this may be the best deal Bird can get. As a Pacers fan, I like it… Maynor is a solid point guard. He’s not the long term answer, but he’ll fit in nicely here. I think we could get two solid players with the 18th and 21st picks also.

Great for Pacers. Maybe something like Manyor, Hayward and Sanders ?

My projections might be a stretch but would be an amazing draft for Indy.

@MagikKnick

Bird could go in a lot of different directions with the 18th and 21st picks. He could address our front court. Murphy will most likely be traded… Foster could be too and if he’s not… He has a bad back. Hansbrough has some mysterious injury with his shin and ear/head. We could definitely use some athleticism in the front court.

There are quite a few players that Indiana worked out that’ll probably be available. Bradley, Bledsoe, Orton and Whiteside. Bird liked Bradley based on what I’ve heard.

Monroe could be a great fit for the Thunder here at 10. For some reason Monroe’s stock is dropping and the Thunder really need a big tht can score. They could move him to the 5 and he could come in the starting role right away. Also having former Georgetown star, Jeff Green, mentoring him in OKC Monroe could mature alot quicker than the other bigs without connections with the other players on their new team. I really hope this trade happens!!!!
