Trade Suggestion with Pacers

So we just drafted Epke Udoh, who brings to the table many of the same things that Anthony Randolph and Brandon Wright bring. This means that one of the three could easily be expendable.

Another thing we are trying to get rid of, is Monta Ellis' contract, and also his departure could open up space for Curry to run the team full time.

The Indiana Pacers selected Paul George, a 3 with huge upside, however the Pacers already have an all-star small forward in Danny Granger, and have a huge hole at the point guard position.

The idea I had, would be to trade Ellis and Udoh to the Pacers for Paul George.

What we get out of this: We get a player who better fits a position of need with the departure of Maggette, and we clear some cap space by dumping Monta's contract.

What the Pacers get out of this: They get a point guard they need who can create more space for Granger, and they get a 4 who has great shot blocking and rebounding skills, and his lack of offense can be overlooked because of the combo that Ellis and Granger bring on the offensive end of the floor.

What do you guys think?
