for Rubio, 2022 1st, and two second rounders.

Wow. surprised INDY couldn't pry away at least Okoro as well.

Will be interesting to see if they get rid of Turner and Sabonis now.

Huge get for Cleveland. They could actually make a run this year with Garland/LeVert/Mobley/Allen...

I hope this is the start of an Orlando-type firesale in Indy, and we can find a way to get Sabonis for a picks-heavy package.

honestly I just feel like indy should have a fire sale at this point. get whatever draft capital and assets you can.

two other trades I can see them making...

Myles Turner & Justin Holiday to Toronto for Goran Dragic, Precious Achiuwa, 2022 1st (Lotto protected, with a roll over next year)

Domantas Sabonis & Lance Stephenson to Memphis for Kyle Anderson, Zaire Williams, 2022 Lakers 1st, 2022 Jazz 1st

Indy tanks and most likely gets 2 top 5 picks in the next couple of years, and has close to $70 mill worth of salary coming off the books this summer.

If Sabonis can be had for a package like that and we don't beat that Memphis offer, I'll be sick

That will be sickening.

What do you think we could get Sabonis for? I'd love a Celtics Sabonis jersey!

It’s a made-up offer because Indy can’t trade Lance, FYI.

My hope would be Horford, Langford, and 3 lightly-protected firsts for Sabonis and Justin Holiday.

Wow. Cleveland could make some noise in the playoffs. On the other hand, I wonder if Brad did some due diligence re Levert since we badly need a real point guard.

Levert isn’t a point guard.

Levert isn’t a point guard.

He’s a combo guard who could be an upgrade over Schroder though?

Rats — was hoping we were getting that HOU 2nd this summer for Schroder.

As for the steal CLE got, all I can say is: IND knows LaVert’s medicals that fans don’t, and I bet it ain’t pretty.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
I get that CLE is going for it, but do people really think they got a steal? LeVert is decent, but a 1st rounder, the #32 pick in this year's draft, plus an additional 2 2nd rounders (updated by Woj) is quite a lot. LeVert is going to have to prove he is actually healthy and somewhat efficient for this to be worth it. Like, 1-for-1, I would prefer Fournier and he went for a lot less than this.

I’m with you until the last sentence.  But Cleveland certainly didn’t get Levert for free.  Josh Richardson is absolutely worth a first in this market if the C’s decided to trade him.
