Yes, every case is different and it's impossible for us to make a timeline. I am just always pessimistic about pitching injuries. If something can go wrong, it will.

Fun fact, Joseph was drafted with the comp pick the Lions got for Golladay signing with the Giants.

We don't have the $ in CBT Tax space to do it. As @Edman85 has said any more $ without trading away $ will drop the comp pick for Skubal to a 4th rounder (same potentially for Mize) and cost us our competitive balance pick. They aren't taking on any extra $ this year. Every $ in is going to have to have $ going back out with means players on the 40 man.

When success in something means failure 60% of the time, then human nature means its easy to only remember the 60% and not the 40%. That's why you use data and context.

This one is too easy; if you get a starting x receiver for a late 3rd and two comp picks after the 3rd, that's a huge win. If he bombs, then sure, it's a fail.

It's time for Harris to swing a trade for a quality SP, or two. I've seen enough of these AAA arms, they're literally costing up games.

Still, it wouldnt surprise me one bit if he was back in 3 weeks or so. Whatever Schilling want thru is meaningless, IMO. I'm not expert but it seems like every case would be different. With millions of dollars on the line, Skubal needs to be as close to 100% before competing again. Again, just an opinion.

Harris could be the key to this series. If he is the turd that showed up the first 6 games against Orlando, the Pistons are in trouble. Odds are they are going to cover Harris with Harden to let Mobley play Ausar and roam free to spy on Cade. Harris needs to work Harden if that happens. If he can get them to switch Mobley back to defending him, big win for Detroit as it should free up some more mid-range space for Cade.

LOL I bet Trump doesn't even know. Officials have probably been told not to tell him because he'll throw a tantrum. So have they told Vance? Probably, and he probably says "what do you want me to do about it?" Absolute disgrace. And we deserve every bit of it.

The Pistons shot 31% on three pointers where there wasn't a defender within 6 feet of the shooter in the Orlando series. That isn't good defense, that is a shoot slump. In the regular season they shot 37% in those situations. A few guys started hitting some threes in game 7. Hopefully that holds up going into this series.

With the amount of money Gores flushed on Monty I would not worry. Must be all pocket change to him.

A pitcher trying to bulldog his way back from an elbow injury asking for big trouble. Curt Schilling? Maybe, Skubal can put ketchup on his sock when he gets back. 😀

Break it down any more than two outs with RISP and the sample size gets really small. Thirty years of baseball social media have shown me that fans almost always feel like their team doesn't hit in the clutch. I think it's because hitters fail more often than not in any situation, and fans remember the high leverage failures more vividly.

A reporter in the Free Press this morning speculated that Ron Holland will be getting important minutes in this Cavs series.

Sneaky good.

I wouldn't. It takes away their one legit three point threat. It also makes Harris try to defend on the perimeter, which won't be pretty. Mobley is more of a finesse big anyway. He won't bully Harris like Banchero did

I was joking that the Pistons would extend JB. Now the Free Press says they did extend him but no details. Prolly 2 years?

Not that Bickerstaff would do it, but would starting Stewart in place of Robinson and having a taller more defensive starting lineup be the better way to go against Cleveland's offense?

Madden understood. Nice outing from him.

I'm no expert on anything, but I have thought that the way pitching has been going, max effort on nearly every pitch, cannot be good for the human body.

Jaylen Brown calling someone else out for flopping is pretty hilarious.

you realize you are talking about the executives who put together the josh smith/greg monroe/andre drummond and james wisemam/marvin bagley iii front lines?

I was optimistic before reading this but even more so now. Tarik is a bulldog. He'll be back very quickly;

Hey, you say something dumb so I can respond on my podcast for clicks. Also, the airline bailouts don't even rank top 3, do they? Fannie and Freddie, S&L, AIG, the auto bailouts in 2008 were all bigger I'm pretty sure.

That would be pretty hilarious. Trading your lottery pick in one of the most stacked drafts in decades for a center. Then turning around 12 months later and trading away your best trade asset for another center. But wait, there's more. The new center you traded for has a range of about 3 feet from the rim. The same range as your PF. So now you have created some of the worst spacing in the league, and you traded away arguable your best 3PT shooter to do it. But wait, there's more. You probably signed Duren to a stupid contract that will be one of the worst in the league. You traded away Murphy, who at $27/29/31 million a year for the next three years is one of the best contracts in the league. That is terrible roster management, even for Joe and Troy.
