    Horford I would guess. He can't stay healthy and is making 12 mil a season.

    Swaggy P has opted out of his contract with the Lakers. I'd love to sign this dude to a cheapish deal and have him come off the bench and wreak havoc once we get rid of EG.

    PG - Jrue/Rivers/Pierre/Roberts
    SG- Tyreke/Morrow/Rivers/Swaggy P
    SF- Hawyward/Swaggy P/Reke
    PF- AD/Hayward/Babbitt
    C- Monroe/Ajinca/Withey

    I'd be happy

    Chris is awful on ball and in PNR defense. People fall in love with his steal rate which is elite, but actually guarding people terrible. If you have synergy(just got it for myself Father's day) watch Paul in iso situations and PNR he's really bad.

    Who is Swaggy P? Why not just say his name?

    I wonder if Mitch McGary would be on the Pels board at all as either a late 1st round pick (or if he gets past the Spurs) as a 2nd rounder. He is a big body who you can throw down low to, or he can pass out. He can take your opponents big out of the paint, and he can defend your opponents big in the paint. His back problem is the only concern I would have with him, but if you could get him on the cheap you would be foolish not to given our need for a legit big man to put next to AD. He also brings a toughness that only Jason Smith has been treating us to.

    Pretty sure that's Nick Young. I don't know where he got that nickname.

    Guys dont have to be great or busts. Some can be good or very good.
    Ok where did I say it's one or the other? You are pointing out maybe one of the most basic concepts in sports as if I have no clue.

    I didn't even comment about your player comparison to Abdur-Rahim. My point was saying you can be consider a top player and still be subpar defensively.

    One would think if they move Smith it means they will be keeping Monroe

    The Pistons could make that trade and go into next season with one hell of a starting 5.

    PG- Jennings
    SG- Smart
    SF- Derrick Williams
    Pf- Drummond
    C- Monroe

    Not knowing what the Pistons are giving up outside of Smith (because he alone isn't worth an 8) could change that lineup, but that is still a heck of a lineup, and at least a 5th seed in the East.

    I don't believe the 8 pick would be involved in the deal.

    This kinda gives me a little hope Gordon can be moved. Josh Smith's contract may be worse than Gordons.

    Hmmm. Less appealing (well the ridding the team of Smith is appealing but thats about it).

    There was no mention of the #8 pick in that trade scenario.

    Yeah i think their biggest goal is to rid themselves of paying Smith 13.5mil over the next 3 years.

    Somewhat off topic- but does anyone else get fooled now when reading sports headlines when the "Hornets" are mentioned? I get caught off guard thinking it was New Orleans involved. For instance-

    http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2014/06/h...y-promise.html


    Hornets Give Mitch McGary Promise At No. 24?

    2:24pm: The Hornets have given former University of Michigan center Mitch McGary a promise to draft him with the 24th overall pick Thursday, reports Chad Ford of ESPN.com (Twitter links). The 22-year-old has reportedly worked out for only one team prior to the draft, but that club is the Bucks, who are reportedly interested in him for the 31st overall pick. Still, it appears Charlotte has zeroed in on the big man in spite of back surgery that limited him to just eight games this season and a drug test that revealed his use of marijuana prior to the NCAA tournament.

    I saw the 4th tweet by Stein and supposed it was in connection with the Pistons rumor.

    As for McGary, I wish we could take him! He is the kind of guy I would love to see next to AD. Rough around the edges, but has the skills to play tomorrow...not sure if he has the back to play tomorrow though.

    That team would be lucky to win 35 games next season. Bad interior defense, bad perimeter defense, only one guy who can shoot, only two who can dribble. The spacing would be awful and the defense terribad.

    Would probably dominate the boards, though.

    In the East people are practically backing into the playoffs. The Pistons could do much worse with that collection of talent, and would probably do much better than you are giving them credit for.
