Nevermind maybe I incorrectly assumed he was being sarcastic... In that case yeah that's dumb, there's no way in hell they'd be worse off or even "only equally good" if you essentially trade KD for Iggy+Barnes+Bogut/Ezeli, that's a hugely lopsided "trade" and they can fill the final couple spots...
I'm not talking stats, I'm talking watching them every game and the absolutely 100% certain concrete (as agreed upon by all beat writers/fans) improvement of the bench unit and team overall with his return. But fwiw statistically, their two best lineups (in terms of +/- per 100 possessions) that...
He knows the Pistons will pay him a fair salary to keep him if he doesn't get an offer anywhere else ... which he will. He's been amazing leading the 2nd unit/spelling Reggie and playing with the starting squad, perfect way for him to show he's back after his injury and rebuild his market value
No Brandon Jennings is not unhappy. Trust me I read every single thing written in the Detroit sports media and he's been over the top team-first and understands his role leading the 2nd unit and loves this team
Also this makes ZERO sense for either team, the Nets aren't interested in a rental...
Yeah they'd have to lose Barnes and Iguodala as well as one of Bogut/Ezeli
Because he wants to win one ... is this even a real question? Show me an NBA player that isn't "desperate" for a ring
Yeah he's looney, he'd be a worse GM than Isiah (and I say that as somebody who loves Isiah, relatively speaking, but my god he can't figure it out as a GM)
Didn't know Thibs loves Melo, just to me Melo doesn't seem like a player who'd thrive in his system and working Melo that hard might reduce the number of miles he's got left on those tires. I do think NY is a lot more attractive with Porzingis (especially to point guards) but I think the big...
It's weird that they announced this only after they did the ceremonies to retire Ben's and Chauncey's and I thought Sheed would be next but yeah he's definitely in Pistons lore every bit as much as those other guys
Alright live sim is going on right now (link) so go there and announce that you'll take the Nets, post at least 10 times in the live sim and you'll get GM cash, and then we can post the trade after the sim if you want, I'm still down even though its one less sim with him
I actually love Stafford, I think the main problem was incompetent offensive leadership (Martz lol, Lombardi lol, Lions in general smfh) and a complete inability to put good players around him (went years without a real 2nd option on offense). Plus the normal Lions bad luck
