Re: The Trade Thread
I'm leaning toward cleaning house this offseason.
1) Bye-bye Dumars. Thanks for everything, but time for both sides to move on.
2) Bye-bye Loyer!
3) Trade Monroe for PLUS asset(s). Need to build around Drummond. Maybe #8 and Monroe to move up into the top-3 for Parker or Wiggins? (Monroe/8 to Milwaukee for Henson/2 or 3 perhaps?) We need a PF that can at least hit the 15-18 footers with regularity without being a total matador defensively.
4) Trade Smith and Jennings for expirings? Is that too unrealistic? Both to the Knicks for Amare or Bargs would be golden.
5) Need a fresh, new start!

Monroe + 8 for Henson + 2/3 would be the trade of the century for the Pistons
In regards to getting Deng from the above post, NOOOOOO WAY. Deng is another Tayshaun dont want him with our young players he is way past his prime sorry

I would, easily. That would give us the choice of Exum or Jabari to pair with Drummond/KCP. Not sure about Henson's potential, he could probably be a backup to the frontcourt and not many people would complain. I'm really high on Jabari's offensive potential and shot creating ability, so pairing him with Drummond would be very nice.

Monroe and the #8 aren't getting you into the top three, and the draft is a month before S&T's can be done.

No, no, and no. We're giving away the best player in all these deals so why trade the lottery pick. Josh Smith isn't Ben Gordon.
Why not just keep it simple and trade #8 for Barnes?

Re: The Trade Thread
Can I see a trade where I don't feel like Detroit gets scammed?
And I don't even want value for Smith, if he can be moved for an expiring contract, I believe that's an A+ trade.
But, I wouldn't trade the 8th pick in a deep draft (that guarantees 4 years of a cheap contract on a potential franchise changer) for Lee's large salary and the final couple season of Harrison Barnes, who has not impressed at all this season, and didn't honestly impress at all last season outside of one big game against San Antonio.

GSW fans howled at what a great deal it was for them. Barnes had a bad year and is not worth the #8.

Re: The Trade Thread
I think our best realistic possibilities in the PG position are:
Lin
Collison
Isaiah Thomas
Lowry
I don't know what could we offer for Lin, but seems hard to get him here. He's not a good defender, but not just bad, and he can play well the pick n roll, we need players who can play the pick n roll and shoot for 3.
Collison could be a legit option, maybe he's not great in anything but he's good in everything.
Isaiah Thomas is near to the awful Jennings' defense, but he's great shooting, we need players who can shoot like him.
Lowry maybe came here if we overpay him, but I think he will got more interesting options than the dysfunctional Pistons.

Re: The Trade Thread
5-team trade I've been thinking of
-Pistons get: Sanders, Green
-Nets get: Smith, Asik
-Bucks get: Lopez, Thornton, Olynyk
-Rockets get: Ilyasova, Jerebko, Pistons 2nd rounder
-Celtics: Mayo, Motiejunas
Jennings
KCP
Green
Monroe/Sanders
Drummond/Sanders
Sanders will be an expensive back-up but at least he'll be able to cover Monroe's flaws on defense when he shifts to the 5. Our 4/5 combo will be set.

Any way to lose Jennings in the process?

.
I think you forgot to add that IT is also a chucker. For the starter PG spot, Pistons should show no interest in him.

if David Lee was 26 this would be the steal of the year.
