Smart of them imo. Likely wouldn’t had gotten him otherwise even if they was offering the same money.

Good for BBall Paul! He can get his money and won't have to settle for a minimum deal.

Good for both the Pistons and Paul. Win-win.

This is the smartest thing I've seen Detroit do for years.

How long before DET can trade him for a asset?
Follow the science not some internet physician & get your shots.

How often are players claimed off waivers? When I initially saw this headline I assumed they had come to an agreement in free agency.

Yeah, weird how things happened, it should've been a trade between Detroit and Philly, instead of Philly waiving him, with them getting a fake 2nd.

Re: [Shams] Paul Reed claimed off waivers by Detroit
Like the move. I have to believe a trade is coming though. This in theory reopens the possibility of Stewart getting minutes at the 4 like he did last year.
And...I hated that.

I like this. It’s a reasonable deal and he’s a useful player.

Could he be the Stew replacement, and Stew is the one getting moved? Just asking for Kings fan I know.

Stew/27 2nd for Huerter/27 first
Simple. Clean. Win/win.

Pistons should take it and run, I was thinking closer to a 1-1 swap

Don't worry. I'm just waiting for the Magic to hand over one of their centers at an extreme discount

But yeah, I was definitely expecting Reed to be an option for New York.

He is 23 and on a flat 15m per year deal for 4 seasons. Thats going to be a great contract IMO.
I considered Sac asking for the other 27 2nd Detroit has. It’s close. Either way, it makes Sac a much more balanced team and adds front court depth along with the need for length and toughness. Stew and Sabonis means a long ice bath for opposing players post game.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why rely on nuance, facts and logic when you can bludgeon the other side with mindless repetition of "Duuur McDaniel's has potential
and still be treated as if you were reasonable.
