What’s the buzz on Twitter? John Hollinger @johnhollingerRe: Indy-Siakam report by our @ShamsCharania : Brown-Nwora-Toppin gets you to a salary match; Nwora rarely plays and Siakam would replace Toppin, and all three are expiring (Tm-opt on Brown). Indy could also take Otto Porter into cap room as part of a trade. – 9:30 PM Eric Koreen @ekoreenHield wouldn’t be necessary. For example, something like Siakam, McDaniels for Brown, Smith and Toppin (and 3 picks) works even though that would be Pacers taking back +8 million in trade. (This specific hypothetical is completely, yes, hypothetical.) – 8:50 PM Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacobPascal Siakam makes $37.8MBruce Brown makes $22MThere’s a $4.4M trade exception for the Raptors so the names for those other salaries involved will be key, ideally at least one of Indiana’s “pups.”3 FRP is healthy considering Pascal is expiring. Now we wait. – 8:40 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSThe Pacers are owed a first-round pick from the Thunder that will wind up being the worst of OKC, Houston, Utah or the Clippers’ pick. I would imagine if they’re dealing three picks for Siakam, this pick, which is the least valuable 1st-rounder they own, is one of them. – 8:39 PM Evan Sidery @esideryThe Pacers would need to add an additional $8.2 million alongside Bruce Brown to absorb Pascal Siakam’s $37.8 million salary.Keep an eye on Obi Toppin, Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson as potential pieces included in negotiations.Indiana has reportedly been reluctant to include… – 8:38 PM Eric Koreen @ekoreenJust to get ahead of it, Pascal Siakam does not owe it to the Raptors to give them a list of teams he’d re-sign with or anything. He’s played his ass off his entire career, has done what he can to fit in with a change in role this year and helped them win a bloody title. – 2:52 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgnessA lot of Pacers fans getting a glimpse of the All-NBA play of Lauri Markkanen. He has 32 & 10 after three quarters (incl. 17pts in the 3Q).I’d be surprised if Utah doesn’t re-sign him, but he’s another guy the Pacers would like – if not Siakam. So good. – 10:57 PM Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050Barnes/Siakam: 27 points, 10-27 FG, 0-8 3P. They both need to be more aggressive than they were tonight… but, not to be overlooked, Holiday (who spent most of the night on Scottie) and the Celtics D are tough. – 9:47 PM Tony East @TonyREastWith Aaron Nesmith and Bruce Brown out, Bennedict Mathurin and Buddy Hield will start for the Pacers tonight in Utah. – 8:38 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgnessBruce Brown (knee) and Aaron Nesmith (shin) are both questionable to play tonight in Salt Lake City on the second night of a b2b.The Jazz, who’ve won 11 of their last 13 games, are healthy. – 3:41 PM Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggsReggie Jackson explaining the ring to Bruce Brown like he’s laying out the functioning of the Infinity Gauntlet is pretty great, I won’t lie. – 3:52 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburnAlright Nuggets fans, time for Game 41, the genuine halfway point of the NBA season, against the Bruce Brown Indiana Pacers.Yee Haw. – 3:40 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburnI’d expect Andrew Nembhard to guard Jamal Murray, Bruce Brown to guard Michael Porter, and Myles Turner to guard Nikola Jokic today.Gonna be an interesting battle. – 3:15 PM Katy Winge @katywingeBruce Brown will get his ring right before tip-off so if you’re at Ball Arena, make sure you’re in your seats early! – 1:58 PM Katy Winge @katywingeJokingly, Coach Malone said his most memorable moment when he thinks of Bruce Brown was “when he told me he was leaving.” 😭 – 1:49 PM More on this storyline
