OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

[MoTappin]

Hmm...intriguing developments! Hope we are in on this somehow!

I think the ESPN rumors are garbage, so don't discount the Jazz because ESPN says so.

I take it back, sounds like ESPN had it right. Jose is either going to Dallas or Detroit.

fuxn. was hoping we'd be on this. trading marvin for a pg upgrade and clearing minutes for burks would be ideal.

People in the NBA have told me the Rudy Gay deal is the domino that starts the dealings. Do the flood gates open?


also, it looks like nobody told prince he was traded, maybe he hasn't been.

Prince is in the building, came in on the third bus with some of the other vets. Getting taped in the locker room. #Pistons

Now this:

Vincent Goodwill @vgoodwill 3 minutes ago
Prince and Austin Daye called into coach Frank's office, and the locker room is closed. Could go down shortly.

I sure hope so, and hope that the Jazz are involved in the flood gates opening.

Being able to dump Austin Daye makes it an even better deal for the Pistons.

Really wish we could've snagged Calderon for Marvin. So now Detroit has what five PG's! Hmmm... many more trades about to go down me thinks.

I've wanted Will Bynum as a backup point guard for years. I would love to get him cheaply now that he's buried on the bench. I figure that Raja Bell + 2nd round pick would get it done. Bynum has had some very good games this year and is only under contract through the end of the year. I would love to take him on as a half year rental and if he works out re-sign him to a 2 year/$6m deal to be our backup PG next season.

I really like Bynum.

Here is the trade machine analysis of the Gay trade: https://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bk8sf3m

Here is what is going down next.... https://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ae6u249 probably not.

PG Lowry
SG DeRozen/Ross
SF Gay
PF Bargs
C Jonas

That is one hell of an athletic backcourt. Their frontline officially sucks *** though. Who the hell is going to rebound the ball? More trades must be made right??

 

[crater77]

I assume they could play rudy at the four and play some crazy small ball?

Daye is the Pistons best player, BY FAR, in +/-. I'm not saying he's great but he's decent. The Grizz made out like bandits here though Pierce was the way to go imo. Guess they couldn't get that done.
