In the worst reality Mitchell is a pending free agent next summer while Gobert trade value is less than half of what we got when we traded him. KqWIN from that reality is swearing why "DA didnt do the obvious and trade them earlier".

Man I laughed out loud for real.

NBA is unique compared to other sports in terms of the significance of the top pick (and on some years that extends to top 2 or even deeper). The impact of a single player (like Jokic, SGA etc) to team success is so great, that getting top talent is just essential. The importance of "that guy"...

I dont know if this an AI answer or whether you copy pasted this from some article, but this is 100% false information. Our 2028 2nd rounder belongs to OKC regardless and it was traded to them together with Miye Oni for cash considerations in 2022. There is an official press release about that...

Im like 90% sure it just extinguishes and they get nothing.

No I get your logic. Had you said 5th pick I would not have called the trade out though. But just keep in mind that draft is also a massive gamble. For example literally everyone liked Scoot and he was "#1 on a normal year without generational talent like Wemby". The "Lauri for Scoot" was a...

Yeah I havent watched them much either. From what I remember he slept through his defensive rotations and had absolutely bottom class effort/ability in getting around screens etc... but maybe it wasnt as much lack of defensive IQ as it was lack of effort thing.

First trade proposal is wild. 10th pick is supposedly the 10th best player in the draft (if everyone gets it correct, which I know never happens). But thats still "the mean" or close to it. I wanna see the draft year, where the guy who ended up being 10th best in his draft class was a true...

Tanking tax. Interesting proposal. It would have to not count against the cap tho. Otherwise it would limit those teams in FA (making it harder for them to build up) while also helping them reach minimum salary floor with lower player salary totals. Also it shouldnt work as a honey trap for...

Also it seems even wilder that Tech cant get on the court when you consider that Malik freaking Beasley is there and runner up in 6th man of the year betting odds. With us Beasley looked like an offensive black hole who cant defend a lick and Tech was "do it all" guy who made the whole team...

I'm wondering what has happened to Tech who is now getting DNP-CDs for Detroit. He finished last season great for Detroit and this year his mpg got cut in half. I think he could help Cade more in this series than Holland or even Ausar, who really is just a hustle and defense guy. They dont even...

Its crazy to think that Cade was 6 years old when Pistons won their last playoff game. Such droughts should not exist, and I'm happy its over.

Basketball is still a big man game. Steph is the only cheat code to that rule.

Vincent blocked Ant dunk tho. Knecht would never. Also lets not pretend like Knecht is Steph. He shot 37.6% from 3 this season which is a bit over league average.

Im not sure who you'd take out for Knecht? Their roster is also more lacking on the big man department and they are at a size disadvantagein this series which Knecht doesnt solve at all. Doncic 40 min, Reaves 36 min and Vincent 24 min ate all their guard minutes.

Reddick was hell bent on stopping Ant drives and that lead to so so so many wide open 3s. At times their secondary defender did more than "cheat towards help"... they blatantly dropped their guy and were left in no mans land. Only one whose shooting they respected was Donte, but Naz, McD...

Homie has missed you.

Sure, but low market value = cheap contract as well. He expanded his game and here he can continue to expand it or solidify himself as a guy who can do more than just spot up. Besides, if he was the best player in a 17 win team then anyone else here was the 2nd, 3rd or 4th best (etc) on a 17...

I dont care if we keep him or trade him... but dumping him for nothing is not it. The war chest doesnt just magically refill itself. All these kids we draft deplete it gradually, and we dont wanna end up only having our own picks to build with.

Collins gets too little respect here. I think he was our best performer this year alongside Kessler and some are just willing to straight up dump him.
