Norman Powell? makes the most sense or opening up the books to get someone in a trade (Herro)
again Pistons were after Reaves earlier, and to get him Stewart needed to be off the books.
so they are chasing after somebody, just need to know who exactly.
Beef Stew always seemed like a piece weād trade as part of a package to get someone else.
I donāt understand salary dumping him.
What are we actually doing?
For us to operate as a salary cap team weād have to do way more than just this. Weād have to lose Tobias, Duncan, Stew, and more.
Itās not the right way to manage assets.
Pistons about to be 40ish win team
he is currently the 3rd highest contract on the team before the trade, doesnt even account for re-signing Tobias or anyone yet.
Which makes him a perfect player to be traded for another player. Not to be salary dumped.
Iām going to stop pretending Trajan Langdon doesnāt know what heās doing but in a vacuum this move makes absolutely zero sense.
He doesnāt.
its very weird all around in a vaccum
they have to be making a move for someone. If they shoot and miss thoughā¦ ā ā ā ā ā ā ā yikes
Isaiah Stewart embodied being a Piston. Elite defender. Didnāt take shit from anybody. Never backed down. Repped Detroit all the time. Stayed loyal during some really terrible seasons.
Itās a business at the end of the day and Iāve known this was coming, but it sucks to see him go.
[Fischer] Memphis is trading these same three second-round picks that the Grizzlies received from the Pistons last night, sources say, back to Detroit, in order to land Isaiah Stewart.
okay so itsā¦ Stewart for Okorieā¦ Thats hilarious
Baba Miller is really interesting IMO. Could definitely see him being a big second contract guy. He reliably makes a few OMG plays. Just needs to become more consistent.
Iām gonna miss me some Beef Stew. You are right he embodied being a Piston.
Hopefully this will make more sense in a day or two.
Stewart and 21 for Okorie is a terrible trade right now. Sorry.
Especially if it prevents us from making a bigger move later.
I think its to clear space for JD and Thompson
Sooooo why didnāt they just offer this last night? 
WE DONāT NEED TO CLEAR SPACE FOR THOSE GUYS in the NBA.
They probably did. Stewart himself was acquired in a draft day trade that ended up being way more complicated and had several details emerge later.
It was eventually revealed that we got that pick in the Christian Wood S&T to Houston.
Stew and 21 to move up 4 spots! brilliant!
