Pacers, Warriors trade 8 players: Murphy, Dunleavy, Harrington, Jackson, more

[Diesel J]

I am shocked by how many people saying the Warriors are the clear winner of this trade. I think it's pretty even, but if anything, the Pacers win this deal based on the fact alone that they got Diogu, the most valuable player of all 8 players involved in the trade. Diogu was misused in GS; glad to see he will finally have a real chance to shine..

The Warriors add a lot of offensive firepower with this trade, but did they have trouble scoring in the first place? Nope. Their problem, as is the problem with every team coached by Nellie, is on the defensive end. Golden State will slap 110+ points on you easy, but if they give up 120 every night, that team's going nowhere.

The Pacers, on the other hand, get rid of the headcases in Jackson/Harrington and get more players that may fit into Carlisle's system. They also now have a legit big to complement O'Neal, something the Pacers have needed since they let Brad Miller go. They take in some bad contracts, but hey.. you can't win on all counts. Ike Diogu baby!

So to wrap up, GS adds unnecessary scoring and gets worse defensively, and the Pacers add players that they actually need. Winner of the trade is Indiana IMO

Indy all the fu*king way on this one. Wow.

Very one-sided, IMO. Murph, Ike, and Junior for Harrington (Murph does what he does and more), Jackson (addition by subtraction), and Saras (Euroleague is that way --->).

Good trade for Indiana.

Murphy and Dunleavy will do well by having a low post presence to play with.

Harrington is overrated. Jackson is an attitude problem and erratic.

Don't know much about Powell.

Diogu could be a good player for the Pacers. Not sure why the Warriors were willing to give him up this year and not last year for Artest.

For Nelson, this is probably to get rid of Murphy and Dunleavy from the locker room, but bringing in Jackson isn't necessarily a good move.

Harrington's defense isn't that good, but with Golden State he will be the primary low post option.

Sarunas is overrated and a contract throw in.

Getting rid of Sarunas and Stephen Jackson was worth this deal. Dunleavy is better than both combined.

Harrington is overpaid badly. Murphy is a better fit, since he can pull his defender away. He can open up the post for O'Neal and make that team better just by that. Harrington is a low post scorer who needs the ball and attention. Wasn't going to get that with O'Neal there.

Diogu is a bonus.

I told yall then Capt Jack was the truth

that's bs Steven Jacksonn is way better than Dunleavy.He's a headcase but dude can ball and is very clutch.

I still cant see why so many thought Indi got the better of that deal

Murphs and Dun would be another Luka and Pringles in the today's NBA.
