Marco Kasper + Rasmussen + first round pick 😂
Danielson, MBN and two first round picks, top 10 protected. st louis loves size (danielson) physicality (mbn) and a couple first rounders.

It was just a pick swap, so no extra pick for Detroit.
detroit's pick is likely to be a bit lower than minnys, if that's anything.

on the topic of edvinsson, i think he is going to be as good or better than seider. he's taller and more mobile. i see those two developing into the best pair in the nhl.
hughes is a special offensive talent, i get it. but i think edvinsson is going to be a special DEFENSEman.

even worse then.
heurter is "just a shooter" even more than robinson is. he's been awful with the bulls. this is a total dump of ivey.
ivey had zero value and this is the best you could get for him. also tells me they had no desire to keep him for next year and wanted that salary hold off the books.

LeVert is listed as available on tonight's injury report.
oh boy.

ummm....THAT'S THE BEST YOU COULD GET FOR JADEN IVEY?
shows what the league thinks of ivey.
pistons get shooting and another pick to trade. bulls get a rehab project on a guy who was once a promising player.

THOU SHALT NOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT QUINN HUGHES BECAUSE STEVE YZERMAN MADE A MISTAKE BECAUSE SIMON EDVINSSON SUCKS.

Windhorst said Minnesota is actively recruiting 3rd and 4th teams to bring into a Giannis deal.

ASP looked good last night..as did Ras and Elmer. Played with a lot of jam..Avs had a very difficult time in the neutral zone
If I could get two guys off bad teams it would be Kevin Bahl from Calgary and Thomas from the Blues.
Although Gavrikov and Panarin from the Rangers would be cool too
there is a lot of smoke with them and panarin. not sure how the lines would work with that. and he's another small forward on a team whose best players are all small forwards.

how many basketballs does cleveland think they get in the game? mitchell and harden on the same team?

michigan-msu getting a little salty. from izzo's usual pout fest and baby attitude when he doesnt win to dusty calling fears out for dirty play.

This article is on ESPN and concerns the Luka-AD trade...
The Luka trade: Four questions on the one-year anniversary - ESPN
However, there's a blurb that is perfect for the Pistons (notice how if we replaced "Doncic" with "Cade Cunningham"... that it works out exactly the same for what is needed on the Pistons to maximize Cade... We're still short a couple 3&D wings and a stretch-PF or stretch-5; and we're missing that one guy who can secondary ball-handle/shot-create to support Cade...) :
On the other side of the deal, the Lakers continue to be a work in progress. The irony of the Doncic trade is that over the couple of years preceding it, Dallas had done an excellent job surrounding him with exactly the sort of talent required to maximize his skills: a pair of rim-running, shot-blocking centers; 3-and-D guards and forwards to play defense and hit 3s around him; and another high-level shot creator to take pressure off him when he's on the court while running the team when he's not.
were ron holland and ausar thompson supposed to be "3 and d" guys?
cause theyre not.

one more thing on the bulls - because bulls suffering is the best kind of schadenfreude this side of buckeye schadenfreude - the heat were so pissed they blew a game to the bulls on saturday that they beat them by 43 points tonight, leading by as many as 54. the bulls shot 15% from 3. former #4 pick in the draft patrick williams was 0-7, which is only remarkable because he actually cared enough to shoot 7 times, and potential piston coby white went 0-6. one of his off nights, of which there are many, usually against teams that care to try on defense (make note for any future playoff game appearances).
-
my favorite bulls management moment was when they insisted they needed to get younger and more athletic to build around jimmy butler, so they signed dwyane wade, rajon rondo, and drafted denzel valentine.
the jokes just write themselves.

if you thought troy weaver sucked at his job, check out what its like to be a bulls fan:

Hmmm. Not real sure what they even have to offer.
they have all their picks and...josh giddey? coby white's busted hamstrings? ayo dosunmu's hustle and broke shot? dalen terry? noa essengeh?
does buzelis, three first rounders, and two pick swaps (does milwaukee have picks to swap?) get it done?

He just needs to suck it up and find his way to Sacramento. Go score 30 a night, play no defense and win nothing.
it would be the best for everyone. it worked out for chris webber...

The good news is, restricted guys rarely get signed to offer sheets. Pistons could say 4/$100 go find a better offer.
i'd be fine with that. i'm sure duren wouldnt.
as noted by all, duren isnt the "second guy" the pistons need. he cant really score on his own even if he is getting better at it. the one thing i will say about duren is that he's gotten better every year. he makes moves the basket now on his own. he's a decent passer for a young big. his free throws are decent.
but its baby steps. and he still cant shoot a midrange jumper. if he ever got that, he'd be a #2 scorer for the team....but then he wouldnt be the version of duren who actually exists. 😞
i like duren and think he's going to continue to get better, but i dont want to see andre drummond 2.0 where the team is saddled to an incomplete big man on a huge deal.
ausar not developing any type of offense other than dunking, ivey getting hurt, and holland just being terrible at everything but hustling has really capped this team's ceiling. those are three top 5 picks and none of them are going to be legit #2 scoring options for cade.

Kawhi and Sengun should have made it over Chet and Lebron in the west. Bam, BI, MPJ all should have made it over Duren and KAT. One of them will get in for Giannis, but still.
kat, lol.
the knicks are dying to get off that contract now. they fired the one guy who could make him go to the basket and not pout all game long.

Faulk and Thomas for Augustine, Bear, this year's 1st and next year's 1st.
yzerman would do that in a heartbeat. i doubt st louis would, but please god let it be so.

Are you a fan of bringing in MPJ? Do you have any concerns about his lack of defense and inflated stats on a bad team?
Personally, I'm for it as long as the price isn't too crazy. His shooting and overall scoring would be a seamless fit on this team and I think this is one of the few teams that can hide his defensive deficiencies.
Trey Murphy would be my #1 target. I'd trade four 1sts+ for him without hesitation but I doubt he's available mainly because he has such a nice team friendly contract for 3 years after this one.
Del was a trey murphy fanboy like 2 years ago.
we dont know what's going on behind the scenes and what trajan ia working on. hopefully its some shooting.
Ivey traded to Chicago for Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric
in Detroit Pistons

must be another move coming.
soooo....do we get harden now? lol.
