Bullock to Lakers

It can also mean we anticipate a larger trade while staying under tax...

This is promising at least, hoping we trade Drummond or Blake for some future assets before the deadline as well

Promising, but I'm not sure I believe Ellis has any real sources left in the Pistons FO. He's been behind on every big story lately.

So let's trade both Dre and Blake now for picks, youngsters and expirings.

Charlotte looks like the only possible target for Dre if we are looking for a decent return. Biyombo + Monk + protected FRP for Drummond would be cool with me, but they would probably look to deal Batum to us.

Also with Blake, I just can't see a team positioned to be able to do that trade right now. If Denver somehow gets into panic mode for no reason maybe we could swap Millsap/Blake?

Hi guys,

Love adding Bullock to our team as we desperately needed shooters for the playoff push. Bullock’s defense and FT shooting should help too. We really needed more players especially with the mess the while AD trade rumors created.

As for Svi, he was a second rounder but really a late first round potential guy. He is a 4 year college player but still real young. He has a great stroke and lights up practice and warmups but just hasn’t had the opportunities to shine in games. He us signed to a inexpensive 3 year deal. Svi is 6’8 tall for a sg but small arms so we joke he is a t-Rex. Overall a good likeable prospect that we hope will turn into Bullock. We have Bullocks rights and I hope we keep him.

Good luck and I hope you guys like Svi.

Blazers, Heat, Charlotte, Denver probably.

Rockets maybe, with the same offer they were offering for Jimmy Butler

It may make more sense to hold Blake and move him in the offseason. A lot of cap space out there.

Another interesting one would be the lakers. Say the lakers get sick of the pels absurd demands. They decide they have to get somebody next to Lebron. So they offer us a smaller deal then Davis and grab Blake. Then in the offseason they can still grab one more max guy.

[Laimbeer]

Good move I was pulling for a late first rounder but we got just a little less value than that which is fine.

I think trading Bullock has got to mean that we are not shooting for playoffs this year right?

It can also mean we anticipate a larger trade while staying under tax...

Or that we have no direction.

[7r5ur]

This is a bad deal.

Why? I think it's a solid deal, did you think we were going to get a lottery pick for Bullock?

No I thought a late first round pick. At least what the Cavs got for Hood.

Cavs basically got two 2nd round picks, which is essentially what we got.

This is a very positive sign to me. They’re not going to sit around and just waste assets for a slightly better chance at the 8th seed. This is the first time in many years we’ve seen a true sacrifice for the future. Is the return spectacular? No. But we weren’t re-signing Reggie B anyways.

Time to see what Kennard and Khyri can do with bigger roles.

[7r5ur]

Now go get Fultz.

[pistonsbball]

Don't mind it, but what's this guys ceiling? 15min/game bench guy? Never seen him play, so hope to be surprised. Sounds like an IQ guy and plays the right way from what I've read, encouraging.

I still think we could've packaged Bullock and SJ with a first for Jaylen Brown.

[Kilo]

That ScoopB twitter feed called this last night during the game.

Terrible trade. This guy is a T-Rex with a wingspan 4 inches shorter than his height. And his supposed shooting doesn't translate into NBA games either. He's a GR Drive legend in the waiting.

Laker fans hate this because he has a sweet stroke in practice footage and had a big G-League game.

We save $1M under the tax this year - just more money for Gores pocket.

[pistonsbball]

Maybe there's a 2nd part to the deal where we get Holiday in a Davis trade?

[Kilo]

I mean aren't we $20M under the tax next off-season, and we just traded the current piece that would have cost a lot. Ish can be replaced by a vet minimum type and Johnson might not get a QO from us and if he does any offer sheet will not be a bank breaker.

Cool, let’s get this squad locked up long term....

Making this about Gores being cheap is pretty funny to me. He seemed to be poised to go well into the tax just to become a low level playoff team in trying to get Conley.

This seems like an anti-Gores move.

Bullock was definitely not the problem with this team, but he’s far from a foundational piece and this thing needs to be broken down and rebuilt from its core.

Please god. never in a million years does anyone here want anything to do with the waste of a player Bizmark. Worst NBA contract in the entire NBA hands down. That would be a disastrous move.

[Kilo]

Does this mean more GRIII or Stanley Johnson back in the starting lineup?

Or do we start Svi-Rex and try to get him comfortable?

[vic]

This is what happens when you waste all your cap space trying to win right now. You end up with a roster of bad contracts and can't afford to retain real talent.

I feared we wouldn't be able to afford Bullock in the offseason. Yep. Looks like top 5 three point shooting is actually valued in this league after all ?

This is exacy how i feel about it. Overpaying bad players to lose good players. SVG harpee on 3 pt shooting then proceeded to put in position to lose Hartis, Tolliver, and Bullock - all in the top 5 or so 3pt shooters for their position.

I guess ed did what he had to do

John Walls is way worse. He’s getting 47 a year after this one and he’s blown out both knees plus his Achilles. It’s Gilbert Arenas 2.0 which that was the worse contract for a while.

[GBanga3]

Surely a starting 3 with a stroke like Reggie fetches you more than a future second rounder and a player that won’t ever see the court?!

Are we in win now mode or what? So very confusing and frustrating for a fan

[Kilo]

Gregg Polinsky loved him Euro players while with Brooklyn - and Brooklyn did well with them, and identifying Dinwiddie. I think this could be a Polinsky special here. Though maybe not since Svi played four years at Kansas. Just trying to talk myself into this one.

Still, any trade involving a player like Bizmark or Wall at this juncture would be like committing professional suicide and will NEVER happen.
