They might have to trade a pick to dump him.  Two and a half years left at around $43 million per.  Nobody wants that on their roster.

Does this pistons team beat a healthy boston, orlando, cleveland, or new york in a 7 game series?

Hell maybe!

[Deleterious]

Boston scares the hell out of me.  Well coached teams are hard to deal with in the playoffs.   Last year's Indiana is a good example.

Bagley has to be viewed as the centerpiece....

Boston - If you're talking about a healthy Tatum, probably not, but that's a problem for next year. Also, any Boston series is just going to come down to whether or not they're hot from three. That's their entire gameplan.

Cleveland - Probably.

Orlando or New York - Yes (as long as Stew is healthy this time).

Trajan is sitting here with the #1 seed in the East by a wide margin who's just behind the #1 seed in the league by a tiny margin. None of the young core is even 25 years old yet. I think he views this season as playing with house money. Unless there's a slam dunk of a trade I doubt he's going to risk crippling the future on a risky/bad trade just to do something. As much as I think you have to shoot your shot while you can in sports because you only get so many chances, I can see his point of view of trying to stay patient and financially flexible as long as possible to see this team develop in the playoffs and find the right trade.

Took a step back this year with VJ coming on the scene.  But that is a nice get for OKC.  

 

[Deleterious]

Sure.  But it also doesn't mean you go get Trae Young and AD. 

 

[Deleterious]

24 hours until the deadline

[Deleterious]

I assume this will technically be two trades.  Conley was traded yesterday and can't be packaged.  Dieng was traded about 45 minutes ago and can't be packaged.  

So its probaly Conley for Sexton and White for Dieng.

i would make boston with tatum a favorite.  without tatum its a toss up.  i dont need to remind any of you how officials see boston...get ready for a parade of jalen brown to the free throw line.

cleveland will be favored over detroit.  the pistons' best hope is to get to game 7 so mitchell can pretend he's hurt and harden will choke.

a healthy orlando scares me.

the knicks scare me the least.  i think kat has returned to being a pussy because he's not scared of his coach anymore.  a healthy stew means a scaredy Kat.

bulls finally embrace the tank.
