4 first round picks for Durant OR 4 first round picks for Gobert... /facepalm

The Gobert trade was bad from the beginning and then somehow gets worse every day

But now we have 35 yr old Mike Conley, so we can pay him for 2 more years instead of cutting DLo loose after this season and finding a young PG in the draft...oh wait, we don't have any draft picks for the next millennium.

Grumpy Old Man @ 9/2/2023 19:10 Pistons need to tank for Wemby Cunningham has been a huge disappointment He's hurt this year! He was good but not great last year. He definitely isn't the level of talent of Wembanyama but give Cade some time.

2 years of injuries is not a good sign

the 4 teams with the worst record this year get the same odds for the #1 pick as part of the leagues new anti tanking initiative. that said you will get Scoot Henderson and like it.

be glad the Stepien rule exists or it could have been so much worse

congrats on the win Dylan. to bad you wont be able to afford to keep Bruce Brown

What an amazing team. Basking in the glory right now. Super happy that this team was able to show where they were trending to when Jamal got hurt.

Definitely feel good about the future. Losing Brown will hurt but everyone else is locked in.

any Wizards fans? if so at least you can dream of next summers free agent class. Suns fans had better hope a handful of mid rotation level players get squeezed out of even tax payer mid level money because all you are going to have to sign players with is the vet minimum. even the buyout market will be closed as they go into the new 'Super Tax'

if Porzingis is a Unicorn does that make Wembanyama a Pegasus?

really Raptors? Schroder? i guess at least your committed to not being able to shoot.

who says no?

Portland gets: Kyle Lowry (expiring contract), Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, 2025 1st round pick (best of Brooklyn or Phoenix), swap rights for Miami 2027 first round pick, 2028 Miami first round pick unprotected, 2029 Phoenix first round pick top 10 protected (turns into choice of of 2 out of 3 2029 second round picks from Brooklyn, Dallas and Milwaukee if not transferred)
Miami gets Damian Lillard and Ben Simmons.
Brooklyn gets Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson.

I read Jovic as Jokic and was very confused

any Nets fans who can tell me if Simmons looks good out there tonight? i know its preseason but its so rare to see him actually play that im looking for any info

Hoping this is the year Cade busts out and pistons are good

I'm excited for Dame but still mourning the loss of Jrue. Really wish they could've somehow traded Middleton instead. v sad

im not 100% convinced you got the better end of the trade. sure the rest of the team is good enough defensively to make up for the massive downgrade from Drew to Dame but i think the lost depth from Allen could have a cumulative effect over the course of the season. plus the draft picks that mean you will probably give Dame another year beyond his current player option and maybe even a partially guarantied year beyond that.

sorry you still dont have enough shooting so Cade will probably have to play on the wing to get any of your best 5 man units on the court. which sucks because he is not that good a shooter and plays best with the ball in his hands. a consolidation trade of 3+ of Harris, Burks, Morris, Ivey and Hayes into someone like Towns is needed. but dont trade for Towns as he is not good enough, idk who but you need to find an all star tier 4/5 that can really shoot. Embiid or Mobley if either become available are the best fits that have a chance of moving in the next 1-2 years imo.

I know that was a blockbuster deal and all, but I really don't understand why the Bucks went for it... The bucks lost so much defense trading Jrue...
