Sounds like a fluid situation to me. This is the Pacers playing hardball with the inexperienced Magic/Rob. Brian Windhorst is saying otherwise, claiming that teams are offering very little for PG and that a deal with the Lakers will happen between by tomorrow night. Frankly, I don't care either way. I would almost rather draft three solid young players and take it from there. A starting 5 of Lopez, Randle, Ingram, Clarkson and Ball has a lot of potential, especially now that Randle, Clarkson and Ingram have more experience now. A bench of Zubac, Nance, Nick Young (if he stays; we'll find out whether he opts in today), Brewer and maybe Black and Ennis (not to mention or two FA rentals this season) should be good for 35 wins. Lonzo Ball is a winner and believe it or not, Lopez is such an upgrade over Mozgov that he will more than make up for the loss of Russell, especially with Lonzo delivering the ball.
I agree somewhat but I am hoping we only have to give up Clarkson and the 27 and 28. I would jump for joy at the deal. Pacers would be getting ripped off a bit but they are backed into a corner. Clarkson is a Good player though and that would give the Pacers 2 more First Round picks, so they would at least be getting something decent in return. Not ideal for them but oh well.
