I wouldn’t be surprised to see Detroit back in the playoffs in a few years. Cade is up next. I’ll definitely be paying a lot more attention to them.

Throw in the 32nd and 55th picks OR Jackson and Nembhard and you've got a deal. I'd even be willing to consider taking back Theiss for the picks to become 29th and 32nd. Then flip Paul to Houston for K Mart Jr/ 20th pick. Or to San Antonio for Mcdermott/ Collins/ Bassey/ 33rd or 43rd pick (IF the Spurs want to expedite Wemby's progression and possibly even get him a play-in team opportunity)??
Or maybe to Charlotte along with Shamet for Gordon/ Bouknight/ Thor/ 39th pick?
I think the question is "would you do the deal as is", not with a bunch of caveats, altering trade, adding a secondary trade.
So I guess your answer is no.
I doubt they want to trade Turner for Ayton though given they didn't last year and he improved.
your typical Ghost trade has more flips in it than a pancake breakfast.
Of all the VacAyton deals posted, I like Vuc and Caruso… but I was under the impression we couldn’t combine a Sign and traded dude with another player.
I’m a big fan of that cueballed menace. Add in another ball handling good d wing and I’d run Point book with the bunch. I think point Book is our back door solution to GrandPaul, but its imperative we add some more dribblers.

The growth of Bridges and Ayton in years 2 and 3 were big, as well as Cam playing well early and getting better in year 2. Took a guy laughed out of the league, Payne, and made him a solid player. Took Book from one of worst defenders in NBA to solid defender. Led team to most ever wins in 55 years, with a young team. Just had a couple of bad playoff losses, one to a better Nuggets team, another to a better Bucks team, and the Mavs one with Paul who fell off a cliff.
The east has gotten way tougher but they have another high pick and should get a lot better over the next 3-4 years.

Think you got a little ahead of yourself here. Would've been nice though
Agree with everything you've said

Good on him. He'll do well raising the floor of a young team looking for structure, and culture and playing competitive basketball
