Would the third overall pick, Bradley, Crowder and '17 first-round pick do the trick?

Not sure I like the idea of going after George, even if the above as enough (hate how much it would hurt our depth), since I think we need to focus on improving our front court more than anything. That said, I would love to hear the consensus on the matter.

Russell and Ingram

I'm not sure that Russell is a Larry Bird type.

Well, how much would it take to purchase the Indiana Pacers?

I have a feeling that there is a player in this draft that Larry wants- could it be Simmons with all the Magic Johnson comparisons?

I think whoever Larry wants would have to fall to us at 3, and I doubt it's Bender. Bird already had a Bender  ;D

I do think that Larry is considering trading George though, because this is a classic buy low sell high situation with George being picked mid 1st round, and now being in play for a top pick in return.
Truuuuuuuuuth!

Even the number one pick in this draft wouldn't do it. No reason for Pacers to trade George.

Russell and Ingram

A lot more than that. At least Russell, Randle, Ingram, and picks.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Smart, #3, Mickey, #23, BKN 2018, two future 2nds for PG13? Too much? Too little?

We'd still have quite a few assets left. Could include the 2017 BKN pick instead of 2018 and take out or add more.
