@omarisankofa Less specific, but do you feel the FO actually leaks any information at all?
This is more so a preface to all the offseason rumors we've already started to see. Do you think most of it is from agents or is there any truth coming from the Pistons FO?
@imjustanbafan@KuKhahil I don't think Bucks trade Rollins. I also don't think Duren has that kind of value fwiw, especially if he gets a $35-$40M/yr deal.
@lazchance Ya, this is fair. He'll be in his age 31 season next year. But with Stew and BBall Paul you may be able to rest a bit more easily during the reg season, and keep those guys happy.
@KuKhahil The point is to create flexibility to make a big enough move for a #2 while still having a good enough center to contend.
A #10 + #21 + Holland/LeVert/another FRP could get you a real #2 alongside Cade.
Resigning Duren+Ausar leaves a pretty big whole for a #2 with few assets.
@KuKhahil My reasoning is long-term flexibility and better roster construction, while giving us a chance to get a real #2.
Duren at $35-$38M/yr + Ausar extension locks us in, and you have to have a high confidence level either will give you enough offense to help Cade.
@KuKhahil Would you do Duren S&T for Turner + #10?
Ausar gets a spacing 5, likely ~$10M/yr contract for Myles, can make a bigger trade with #10 + #21 for a real #2?
Hey, Colorado sport fan. If I told you the Avs would easily win the Presidents trophy, make it to the WCF, the Nuggets would get the best season ever from Jamal Murray and and another MVP level season from Jokic, AND the Broncos would have the best record the NFL and make the AFC championship, you would take it right? WELL FUCK YOU ITS A TRICK.
@KuKhahil What do you think the Pistons would need if JD wants more than what the Pistons want to offer? For example, if Kings are willing to offer JD $35-40M/yr would you trade him for #7?
👀 NEW @YahooSports:
I charted every shot Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken this postseason and tracked how often he fell.
And then I did the same for Jalen Brunson, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell and Victor Wembanyama.
Here's what I found: https://t.co/0Vgr3ibDyP
Oh my. The wet spot left behind by Harden was either not cleaned and/or improperly so. Dean Wade wipes out seconds later and the Pistons get a crucial wide open layup as a result.

"People can judge however they want to judge. But we’re looking at this big picture. What would it say about us if we choose to give up on them?"
