Gordon Hayward and Charlotte’s 2027 + 2029 picks (lightly protected) to Pacers for Myles Turner

Myles Turner is worth a pick in his own right. Dumping Gordon Hayward is also worth a pick in its own right. While the distance between now and these picks might sound scary, LaMelo Ball should be under contract then (if not happily rendering playing services), so even lightly-protected picks will likely convey.

Duncan Robinson and Miami’s 2025 pick to Spurs for Josh Richardson

Let’s end with a happy reunion! I looked really stupid for going so far out on a limb to praise Josh Richardson as a key player in 2019. His career has not trended up like I thought it would, but he’s a decent role player, and he would fit with his old team better than Robinson did last year.
