Pistons-Raptors (7pm)

[MortSahlfan]

The Raptors have been good despite Kahwi leaving for nothing. They just keep at it. This would be a good win. I hope Burks plays, just to see the possibilities, playing with Ivey.

Casey normally beats the Raptors. 9-3 with us vs them.

Makes for a interesting bet. That said this Pistons team is extra bad so its gonna be tough.

Huh? This is the 4th season post Kawhi, weird that was brought up.

Right. I remember his first game against the Raptors. I think we were up 1 or 2, and made a last second defensive stop, and I saw Casey pump his fist for the first time, and yes, our guys know he was fired right after winning Coach of the Year (and then accepting that ESPY award was awkward, but he was very classy as usual). So this tells me a good chunk of our bad play is not playing hard for 48 minutes. The game is all about tiny margins. The difference between a made or miss 3 is the extra distance when you execute better.

I just came across this, too...
Lakers one of the teams interested in Bojan Bogdanovic
While that may have seemingly ruled out a trade to the Lakers in the moment, it has not ruled it out indefinitely. In fact, the Lakers could move back in on Bogdanovic despite him having recently signed an extension — more on that later — according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports on his “Please Don’t Aggregate This” podcast: “He’s a player that I think a lot of winning teams, a team looking to get to the second round that’s never gotten there or a team that wants to push their way to really be a title threat (would want)… Phoenix was at the top of everyone’s list in terms of suitors that have capital to pay in addition to talent and the salaries that made sense… The Lakers were obviously involved. I got a list of other teams that I think have called and contacted, but nothing too crazy at this point in terms of actual conversations that are still ongoing. I do know Detroit is getting calls on him just like any team (when) we’re getting close to the Dec. 15 area where a lot of players who signed (in free agency last summer) are going to be eligible (to be traded). That’s kind of the unofficial start of the trade window. But also he’s playing really well for this team right now.”

Would you guys wanna trade him? If so, what would you require? I rather have a good young player. We can't play all these draft picks, and everyone said how OKC would use those picks to "pepper" a trade to get the better player in deals, and they have 30 1st/2nd rounders, and haven't gone anywhere in a LONG time, and every GM knows his situation, and will low-ball him.

What do the Lakers have to offer? Im sure theres a few teams ahead of them with some sort of assets.

What fo the Lakers have to offer?

I read a report on Hoopshype a week ago or so, and it said that Lebron wants Lakers to throw in a 1st round pick, and wants to win now in his 20th season. They also mentioned the proposed Westbrook and 1st round pick for Hield and Turner and if I remember correctly, it seemed like it was something Lebron would support.

LeBron is killing them , but yeah Bojan would be a great get for them.

[zeebneeb]

Bojan would be a great piece for a bunch of contending teams, but getting a good pick from those types of teams is impossible, save for a few who own another teams pick.

The Lakers are like trader you come across in the apocalypse. He's got a few rotten apples, and a box of uncle bens rice.

You gonna give up an unopened pack of smokes for that?

[MortSahlfan]

Rob Pelinka is a horrible GM, and if Lebron gets desperate, who knows what Weaver can extract? 1st-rounder, and a swap? I think Bojan can play on any team. He just works off the ball, so he's efficient, and only helps teams on offense. Shooting 43% from 3, scoring 20, being a leader with experience with a winning team might be better than a pick, though, especially if there's no room to play the guy. And we're gonna have to pay three rookies (maybe just two if we let Killian go, but I think Weaver wants his first pick, especially at #7, to work out) and we have a lottery pick this year, and I doubt we automatically make the playoffs the following year, so we'll get another lottery pick.

[MortSahlfan]

Cojo is questionable.. left hip soreness and is considered day-to-day

[vege]

This is an easy win, even with Killian playing 34 minutes.

[The Moose]

Bagley is moving to the starting lineup, Bey moving to the bench

Interesting

[Pistonrings]

Bagley is moving to the starting lineup, Bey moving to the bench

Interesting

Wow, never thought I would see Casey take Sadiq of of the starting unit. I wonder if Weaver has anything to do with this.

[Manocad]

Bagley is moving to the starting lineup, Bey moving to the bench

Interesting

This will be a good evaluation of the claim that replacing either Bey or Bojan with Bagley will make the defense worse. I know where my money is.

[Manocad]

Cojo is questionable.. left hip soreness and is considered day-to-day

Aww...bummer.

Green uniforms? Seriously?

[vege]

Fugly jersey. Bagley and Hayes starting. This is going to be a painful one to watch.

[Manocad]

Yeah, that wasn't a foul on Ivey right off the bat

[Manocad]

And Bagley hits a 3

And Stew hits a 3
