Seems semi-close. Wasn't sure if thread worthy, feel free to merge .

EDIT: Now official per Woj:

Kevin Knox
Dennis Smith JR
2nd

For

Rose?

Seems like it could happen quickly with Rose and the Pistons agreeing and Thibs in NYC wanting it. NYK have the Pistons SRP this year from a round about way, I think that would be the centerpiece coming back to the Pistons as it will certainly be in the 31-35 range.

Seems like Pistons will hold out Rose from playing until he's traded so it seems close and/or they are motivated to work quickly.

Pistons also liked Quickly heading into the draft, but that doesn't seem likely. Also Pistons will need a PG in return as Killian Hayes is out a while still and Delon Wright and mid SRP Saben Lee only other PG's on the Pistons roster.

Frank N and Pistons Sekou Doumbouya are buddies from France and Pistons also drafted Killian Hayes. I'd say Frank N and Pistons SRP will be the trade.

Weaver demands a player equal in salary that he can stretch.

I say it's one of Elfrid Payton, Frank Ntilikina or Dennis Smith Jr. and Pistons 2nd returned

Oh Thibs, you predictable old romantic, you.

So on the nose for Thibs. How wasn't there already a million Rose to NY deals proposed on here? (Or was there?)

I wonder if they'll have video of BJ Armstrong calling him this time:

less than you think. Which I would have said is to this board's credit. But maybe it turns out not so much lol.

Yeah that seems about right. My guess would be Smith because he's the most worthless. Getting back a top 35 pick is about right value wise. Plus saving a million dollars or so.

Would rose want to go back to NYC? Like..... For real id rather see him go to Orlando or NO

Great call on both statements. This is pure Thibs. The next wave of Knicks theory needs to be "Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, Taj GIbson...will the Knicks sign all 3?"

They have already sign Taj Gibson.

I dropped one a week or so ago

?s=21

Draft comp better be the Pistons 2021 SRP because Smith Jr is cooked as a player. He's a small 2-guard who can't shoot. Flashy dunker with no vision.

Yeah I don't see why we'd agree to take any salary back in this deal unless we're getting SOMETHING of meaningful value in exchange for doing so.

I'd be happy to get our second rounder back at this point.

Why do details of trades seem to come out in pieces?

in this case it appears negotiations are ongoing so Shams' source is telling him the parts he can confirm.

Seems to happen a lot. How can anyone know Rose is dealt if negotiations are ongoing? They could fall through if not finalized, no?
