Ross has negative value due to him severely underperforming and having been overpaid while PPat has some value as a hustle and stretch 4ish big. Basically PPat is a more versatile Tolliver.

I think they might want a 2nd rounder with that.

Darrel Arthur is an excellent PnR defender...great lateral speed. Would be good to have out there with Baynes.

Jennings, Stanley and Markieff makes for a nice 8man rotation

that would be such a waste because it would take away all possibilities of us offering a MAX level contract this offseason, if Horford does come out, we will probably go after him hard.


Horford is not signing a deal with the Pistons


I think after this season we have a nice shot at landing a big or semi big FA.Imagine this team with horford or another impact player like that,it would move us up to a top 3 team in the east,and that has got to be enticing to players,especialy since our core are young but on the ferge,you have jackson/dre,and hopefuly jennings stays and we add a bench sg,with ersan going to the bench with johnson.

well we're giving them Bullock who is equivalent to a 2nd and Meeks is getting paid like 4 or 5 mil less.

#1 I don't get the Patrick Patterson love fest, he's barely an upgrade over Tolliver.

#2 any team that is trading FOR Terrance Ross wouldn't be the team giving up picks.......unless he was getting traded WITH a first.

Disagree he is good PNR defender and a good shooter just in a slump this season. He is a upgrade in every way to Tolliver except maybe the volume Tolliver shoots.

We might be a top 3 team in the East this year. Aren't we only like 2.5 games from first? Jennings return should help, imo. For anyone to just say nobody is coming to Detroit is insane imo. If you're a FA you have to think about coming to a team with a Borderline top 5 PG and a 23 year old Beast of a Center probably best in the league if not 2nd. I think best. You would be nuts not to consider. One hell of a coach too

You're probably right about the second part. I think they'd have to include a 2nd, my bad. Ross is that bad with his contract to production ratio.
