Ryan Anderson can't defend. Rudy Gay can't shoot, we already have morris and johnson. Stay away from Markieff Morris, they are trouble together. Marcus Thornton is better than jodie Meeks.

I could see us getting in on a Houston shake up and maybe targeting DMo(acquire RFA rights) and Thornton. Other than that I think we largely stand pat, try and package Dinwiddie and Bullock in a deal taking back one player to open up a roster spot to try and convince a post deadline buyout player to come here or something.

I got a feeling we will get DMo at the deadline. It will probably cost a pick but I've read SVG is interested in him and I'm not sure if Morey will pay the price to keep him considering he wants another star player.

I like Thorton. The Pistons have a familiarity there too with Bower having drafted him.

D-Mo? Meh...the guy has some serious back issues

Thornton would be fine. He can definitely provide a shooting spark off the bench which is needed regardless if Caldwell-Pope is healthy or not.

Trading a pick for Motiejunas wouldn't be too smart though. Not with the back issues he's had this season. I doubt any team would want to risk a first on him with that in mind and him being a restricted free agent this summer. Houston might get Donatas back on a cheap short-term prove it type of deal. It's not like he was great last season to the point where some team will decide to make a big push for him.

they think pistons' targets are ryan anderson, rudy gay, markieff morris and marcus thornton.

espn's new site is terrible. you can't find anything easily.

You posted material that people are supposed to have to pay to have access to.

Why on earth would providing a link to it make that any less illegal? I'm surprised I even have to answer that question.

ugh. these rules here frustrate me much like the second half of the season will and possibly the deadline.

I understand the realgm perspective... there are legal repercussions for bypassing a paid subscription (not that it's worth the $'s).
To answer the question the link doesn't do anything but ask you to pay for their service... no harm.

Nothing wrong wtih posting the link by itself, that's why I didn't delete it.

Posting the entire content of the page that includes paid copyrighted material? Yeah, that's a problem, and I have no idea why anyone would be surprised that it would be a problem, and I'm baffled that anyone would think posting a link alongside said content would make doing that okay.

since we're on the topic ESPN having "insider articles" might be the biggest joke out there.

Yeah espn has made almost everything insider status including their 5 on 5 polls. I'm really hoping zach lowes stuff stays free to read. I think he's great

Insider is truly worthless. It used to be cool when rumors weren't all over Twitter.

I'll definitely agree with that.

There's no real reason to pay for Insider anymore (not sure there ever was), I actually thought insider would die off in the social media era, but surprisingly its still going strong.

Still can't post it though.
