Pels and KLnicks would say yes. Pacers would pass

I just randomly came up with this as a Pacers fan, so I figure since everyone thinks its bad for us, I'll defend it:

The Pacers aren't going anywhere. We are a middle of the pack team, not bad enough to get a high pick, not good enough to win it all. I'd rather reset, get more salary cap space, and add some talented youth, and then start from scratch. Maybe I'd throw them a 1st in there somewhere, but eating the money for Randle would be fine by me if we could add two young risers in Ball and Barret.

Just my thought process. Thanks for the comments, it was my first ever attempt!

I like your energy and understand your thinking. There are some sites that suggest a straight up trade between the Pacers and the Pels. Turner straight up for Ball and Miller. The Numbers work and it would give the Pacers some insurance in case Oladipo left. However most of them go on to point out that there is almost no way that Ball would stay in Indiana. Not near enough lime light. I would have to agree with them but keep thinking. Fun isn't it?
