Oh ok.
Please tell me this means LeVert is getting traded.

PG: Cade, Jenkins, Okorie
SG: Duncan, Joe, LeVert, Sasser (allegedly getting traded to DAL)
SF: Ausar, Huerter, Green, Holland
PF: Collins
C: Duren, Reed, Tolu Smith, Onyenso
Does Isaac Bonga come over? Where the eff does he play?
You think Stew was the entire reason that the Pistons had a top defense? Losing him will hurt the defense some no doubt but A LOT worse is hyperbole.
With that said, the east is definitely quite a bit stronger on paper so itāll be harder on the Pistons next season to stay on top. Ultimately it will depend on the development of Cade, Ausar and Duren, maybe Holland who I think still has a ton of room for growth so I wouldnāt count them out but, yeah, theyāre still missing that #2 scorer/playmaker.

In terms of Murphy, the Pistons have the pieces to get it done. They have tradeable salaries in LaVert and Duncan, control of all their 1sts and a high upside young player in Holland. If he wants Murphy, he could get it done. The Celtics have the picks now but they have zero cap space, I guess they could include the newly signed Queta and Pritchard in a deal but whoās their Holland level young player? Trajan can get a deal done here if heās willing.

Trade for KD
S&T Duren for Sabonis/Picks
Sabonis/Reed
Collins
Durant/Joe/Huerter
Ausar/Robinson/Green
Cade/Jenkins/Okogie
You pickup a 3rd center who also can play some PF and the team is good
Stew is a top rim protector. It will hurt this team and if they dont get that number 2. I think their a little worse then last year
Green is back what a fun off season
Hey @DetroitvsEverybody I was too, but since we signed Collins, thatās a no-go for me. It would be so un-Detroit like to have two āNo-Dā guys in the middle (Sabonis and Collins). Reed just isnāt big enough to defend 5ās. Stewart is gone. With that D, it would be a throughway to the rim.
Didnāt see this. But even with someone like Drummond, I still think weād be hurting underneath.

Thats looking better and better. Weād prolly have to give up second rounders to get him out of here.
Or make it a little more crazy
Pistons trade Duren
Kings trade Murray/Derozan/picks
Cavs trade Allen
Cavs get Derozan and a pick
Kings get Duren and create a Duren/Sabonis front court
Pistons get Murray/Allen/picks
Allen/Reed
Collins/Murray
Durant/Joe/Green
Ausar/Robinson/Huerter
Cade/Jenkins/Okogie
Ugonna down to G League
You get your defensive center
Solid backup to Collins in Murray
You get Robin for Cade in KD
Cavs get a lineup of Mobley/Derozan/Strus/Harden/Mitchell
Kings get a lineup of Duren/Sabonis/Hunter/Monk/Acuff
Green seemed a good fit to come back. Solid 2 way bench guy with some scoring ability. Likey

So give up as much for a soon to be 38 year old Durant making $40M when you can potentially trade for someone like Trey Murphy at the same price to acquire and salary is much less? Reeks of desperation by the Pistons.

The fact that some of you are still on the ātrade Durenā train perplexes meā¦ Even more so when you couple that with adding KDā¦ Itās so short sighted

Allen would be cool for us.
But Mobley is not a 5. I donāt think the Cavs would ever do that.
Agree. you may have missed this part:
I just donāt think the Pels are playing ball. Iād love Murphy, even withthree firsts mixed in.
Probably not just throwing ideas. They have mentioned that allen could be available especially when talking about LeBron and that so maybe they view him as a center
yes, that Duren trade door has closed. (Hopefully we havenāt alienated him too much).
Durant would be kind of our last hope for a true 2 to Cade. But Iām at least kicking the tires. He really has not fallen off too much given his age, its pretty amazing how effective he still is.
