How do you guys feel about Thomas Bryant?

I know he's coming off an ACL injury, but he might be a guy to keep an eye out for. He on an expiring and won't hurt our cap space next season. Something along the lines of josh Jackson and 2 2nd round picks might be enought to pry him away from the wizards before the trade deadline. Give us a big who could stretch the floor and have the size to shot block consistently.

Not worth giving up future draft assets for at this point with his status unknown.

Josh Jackson isn't enough salary going back you'd have to add in another player. Josh Jackson + Killian works in the checker.

Would likely have to be after Dec 15th to recent signings could be involved. Could perhaps be a Josh Jackson + Lyles combo. Or CoJo + Lyles.

You can't seriously be posting that.

Having the size to shot block consistently doesn't mean he's a shot blocker.

Why not just wait for Drummond to flame out as Embiid's ragdoll?

I feel fine, I just don’t see the point. Wait a year and sign him in free agency

At this point I think the Pistons already have PLENTY of “could be the guy” guys. IMO it’s time to roll something out on the floor, see how it works, and adjust accordingly after a full and proper evaluation has been made. Pass.

Quite a bit of overlap with Stewart. Hard to see them playing together.

Yeah, I don't see a reason to give up assets for this guy now. It's not like he's likely to price himself out of our market this season coming off that injury.

Could be worth revisiting, but it really depends on how Stewart progresses and what Bryant does this year.

Not needed given we have Stewart, KO & Garza.

If we're moving JJ I'd prefer we get back a 3/4 unless Lyles and Livers are going to figure heavily in the rotation.

There's only so many 3 guard line ups or minutes for a 2 big line ups before you get burned.
