1. Grant Williams
2. Johnson of the Suns
3. PJ Washington
I personally love Grant Williams. I would trade Stewart for him and extend Williams.
It’s either that or you pay Stewart 13m a year to come off the bench the same way Bagley is. So we’re banking on internal development regardless. I personally would move on from Stewart mid season to get Grant Williams. Not a bad trade for the Celtics if they need a big if Robert Williams is out. That or Johnson of the suns is a great player to get as well.

Re: Trade or Bench Stewart
I'm not a huge Stewart fan but he is clearly playing out of position due to injuries...

Re: Trade or Bench Stewart
The pistons are doing a tank job in plain sight. When Bags when down everyone knew there was noooooo chance of winning with an undersized Stew at the 5. To throw a starting lineup of bigs Stew, Bey and Bojdan at the fans is insulting. They have boatloads of money and they don't pick up another big (Bassey) for a short term rental. Seems to be saying if we win all good if we lose lottery here we come. In addition Casey's coaching is horrendous. Stew has not set a solid pick for Cade this year. Why not? Is this by design or poor coaching? Cade did not begin to blossom until Bagley set solid screens for him. Cade is not a one on one player to take people off the dribble. Finally, I am not ready to throw the towel in on Killian. But b4 i put his ass out there again I would play Diallo as back up point guard. Joseph is a savvy vet but Diallo gives the best chance at winning. If this is make or break year for Kill same should be said for Casey.

Re: Trade or Bench Stewart
He's too small and too slow, a bad combination for a C in the NBA. He's not a good enough shooter or fast enough to be a useful PF in this day and age. I mean if you put him at PF would he be able to guard the other teams Bojan type player for example?

Stewart can definitely guard the Bojans of the league.

Re: Trade or Bench Stewart
Stewart isn't going anywhere. Just need time for Duren to keep coming along. Then this summer go after a guy like Grant Williams to slide in as our 4. Moves Stewart to what I believe will be our energy/first big off the bench.

Yeah, we're 5 games in and I think it's clear that Duren is already a better interior defender and rebounder than Stew.
Which is fine--play them together.

Re: Trade or Bench Stewart
Yeah, the plan to play Stew at the 4 this season got blown up by injuries, the Bojan trade, and how well Bojan has been playing. I think we'll still see plenty of it if Bagley, Duren, and Noel are all healthy at the same time.
