BREAKING: The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a trade to acquire All-Star F Pascal Siakam in a deal that will send Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks to the Toronto Raptors. New Orleans will be a third team in deal, sending Kira Lewis to the Raptors.


Wonder if we’re taking anyone back.

We are the third team in this deal sending Kira...wondering what we're getting back? Assuming a second round pick to clear up salary?

Probably a fake 2nd or something.

We've all been anticipating this.

Hopefully Kira gets his career together there

Ha when I saw last night they still needed ~$5,000,000 of salary ballast I almost wrote watch for Kira to get thrown in.

We are now under the tax line.

No idea how much though in case we wanted to bring over Karlo or sign Matt Ryan to a full contract.

Perfect. Don't have to lose a rotational player and don't have to take back a contract. The best scenario to be honest.

That's puts us at 13 players on the roster. We now have 2 weeks to add a 14th player

Pelicans were a luxury tax team and now duck under.

The trade saves them $18M.



Anyone know how far we are under the tax now?

We were 2.9 over per spotrac, Kira makes 5.7 so we should be about 2.8 under.

That’s enough to sign MR to a full deal AND bring Matco over.

Karlo’s contract would be about 1 million, MR would be around the same since he’s being converted midseason

Alright that's good info.

I doubt we do anything else. You never know what opportunities will present themselves, but I imagine we stay put and see what happens the rest of the year.

Looks like they’ve already discussed it

Clark says we're sending out our 24 2nd which is good since this is a terrible draft. The only other 2nd we had was a 2030 2nd. much rather give up the 24 2nd

Wishing Kira the best. Maybe he'll get some minutes on a team that's having a fire sale.

Reunited with Pels all time great Uncle Garrett Temple!

Am I missing something? Did Matko turn into a nba player overnight? He looked like crap when we saw him last.

Yeah I doubt they send 3 1st picks without having the parameters of a deal in place… or at least I hope so lol.
