But yes, a younger version of Oladipo on a much better deal, and probably someone that will be excited about the opportunity with the Pacers. And didn’t have a serious injury like Vic IIRC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I love Oladipo, but Lavert is a really, really good player who just keeps getting better. One place I saw that Pacers got a lot of draft picks ad well but not sure if true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked Oladipo but Levert is younger and is under control until 2023. I think he’s going to be really good. Is he s better 3 point shooter than VO because with the Pacers be offense we need better shooters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic is a career 35% 3-point guy and Levert is 34%. Pacers have plenty of shooters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacers have plenty of shooters. Vic is a better shooter. Levert is younger, healthier, and probably a better long-term fit, especially considering the talk surrounding Vic's contract and interest in other teams, even if the talk was overblown (I think it was but still) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaloisGroupe Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) According to here: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30706097/sources-houston-rockets-trade-james-harden-brooklyn-nets These are the Rockets picks: Houston also receives Brooklyn's three unprotected first-round draft picks -- 2022, 2024 and 2026 -- in the deal, plus pick swaps in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027, according to sources. The Rockets also get Cleveland's 2022 first-round pick, via the Milwaukee Bucks. I don't think that Pacers got picks. So it is 4 picks and 4 swaps... not quite 8 picks!

Hoosierhoopster Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm going to walk back a bit my initial thinking on Houston. I've been thinking Houston is a mess. Well, it is -- with Harden. This may actually end up a win win, for Vic, and the P's. Houston has picks and now without Harden a team that can share the ball better and without the idiotic drama. Interested to see how the Rockets re-shape going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll go on a run early because its new, but come playoff time I can't see this working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I just don't see how Irving, Harden and Durant co-exist well. All are ball dominant, and especially Irving and Harden. I didn't think the Harden-Westbrook experiment would work, this actually looks worse to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I honestly can't believe Brooklyn traded all of their draft picks again to give themselves a short window. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
