If the 76ers had to waive him instead of trade him for fake 2nds, should that be concerning?

Is the year after this guaranteed?

Did our gm just grab a guy he wanted for free? Last bum would have traded like 20 2nds for the guy who was going to get waived.

Well done langdon.

OK, now there definitely has to be some bigger moves in the works. Stew or Duren on the move?

Or maybe Langdon thinks he can just flip Reed to another team in a deal? Wouldn't Philly have done that if there were offers?

Ivey/Stew package still makes sense. Then get *another* 3rd C with some size lol

This is a huge pickup. Love the off-season now. Exactly what we need in a backup center.

I actually know someone. Not sure if it’s going to happen for sure, but this guy just said Ingram to Detroit is getting close.

So if it happens, you heard it here from your old friend Han first.

If we get Brandon Ingram, we’re definitely a play in team at least.

If it's Stewart and a couple for 2nds for Ingram, let's go

Weaver would be stretching him in a couple of days

The new Woj: Han

I’d be shocked if they’d trade him for anything less than a young player and a first. Otherwise they’d be better off waiting until the deadline.

Ingram is legitimately linked to us.

Supposedly they want to get Cade another scorer.

This could happen. Like him or not, would change our team.

Hopefully Duren isn’t one of the players. I doubt it though. They’d have to be dumb to trade him. I’m hoping it’s Ivey and Stewart.

No, it shouldn't be. They had to waive him to be able to sign Paul George and allocate additional free agency money at positions other than center. If they could have kept him I am sure they would have.

Philly fans love him too. This is a good move by Detroit.

Don't take this personally:

I do not believe you.

Great pickup!

I hope we don’t trade for Ingram now, our roster finally has depth. Could maybe use another vet backup PG, but it looks decent now.

Cade / Sasser
Ivey / Beasley / Moore
Ausar / Holland
Harris / Tek / Klintman
Duren / Stewart / Reed

Love this for DET. Great pick up for motor city.
