2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Stoked]

Detroit shed a little salary. Only one million but any time a small deal like this happens it makes you wonder if a bigger deal is to blame. I wonder if the Pistons got Conley.

Then again it's a weird decision for the Pistons to trade Bullock if they were confident that they were getting Conley. Because Bullock has been their best wing player this season.

My thoughts exactly, Bullock has been a stud for them and I'm not sure why they'd trade him if they're wanting to win now which is what the Conley rumours suggest. Good deal for the Lakers depending on what the pick is

Conley with 25 points and 9 assists tonight.
6-11 from 3

I honestly have no idea if the trade the Pistons just made makes them more or less likely to land Conley.

This means Detroit is blowing it up, and is trading us Griffin for Favors, Exum, and Tomic.

Honestly, a Griffin trade makes sense for us and them. We can clear the books and send them Grayson, Bradley, 1sts and expirings.

Prepare to have your hearts broken

Indeed. If we do end up trading Ricky a large part of me will be heartbroken. I like Ricky a lot as a player and a person. Last season was one of my favorite seasons ever as a Jazz fan and Ricky was a big part of that amazing team chemistry. Seeing that core group be split would be rough. That's the NBA though. Nothing stays the same forever.

Portland is a team with its own set of problems, and the Lillard/McCollum backcourt isn't really one of them. It's that they don't have anyone else who can reliably create and knock down a shot.

If you want an example of a 'small' backcourt that seems to be working, try Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart in Boston.

Celtics can play small ball which differs from teams like the Jazz and Blazers that always have one traditional big man on the floor who can't help guard the perimeter, which puts more pressure on the backcourt. And as brilliant as Kyrie has been, his limitation is definitely there. That's why I don't really see Boston as a championship contender over Toronto and Milwaukee.

Isn't Bullock an expiring? Good deal if Pistons decides that they can't keep him any ways.

It seems like they’d also have to send us the Detroit Lions for that trade to be fair

That or Eminem. Maybe we can squeeze Super Dell Schanze into the deal.
