Trade deadline thread

[theBigLip]

Here’s a combination of hopes and guesses:
- Noel does not get traded and is bought out
- Bogdonovich does not get traded
- Burks does not get traded
- WRONG: Bey is traded for Cam Reddish and our FRP

I hope I’m wrong on the first three

As for the league, some thoughts
- Crowder gets traded
- Fred Van Fleet gets traded
- James Wiseman gets traded
- Eric Gordon gets traded
- Bones Hyland gets traded

I guess we missed out on Cam Reddish and our pick. That was more of a wish than a prediction. But it’s looking like the other Piston predictions are, sadly, looking more realistic by the hour.

Hopefully we fire Casey and trade for a better coach.

Josh Hart had more value than I'd have guessed.

KD traded to the Suns, wild

HAHA At Nets...what a disaster.

Any team that brings in Harden and Kyrie deserves all the grief.

[LaSheed]

Golly I'd love to acquire Bridges from the Nets.

I expect the Nets are going to keep him to try to win in coming seasons. The Nets cant all out tank as they dont control their draft choices.

Nets have actually made out ok from the clusterfunk that was their last 36 months. They've got some nice young pieces and they actually have some 1sts now.

Not sure if these moves increase the likelihood of Bojan going anywhere. On one hand the ante has been upped, but maybe there's teams that will pull back as they see less of a path to a title now.

Agreed, he would be such a nice addition with his great defense but also has proven in recent times that he can carry a scoring load.

Sadly any trade to get him would require at least one future first rounder which we can't do.

Raptors trade 1st rounders like nothing. Dont the Raptors suck and Poeltl is on a expiring? Was it last season or the one before that they traded a 1st for a old Thadeus Young?

What’s really sad about this era of pistons basketball is other teams who are also bad have much brighter futures than us. The jazz are a good team with an insane amount of first round picks. The Rockets are a similar team to the Pistons with a lot of first round picks, the Orlando Magic have all of their picks and their young talent is starting to win them games.

We suck, have 3 to 4 players that are worth keeping and technically don’t have our first round pick to trade until 2028.

Proves the importance of starting off a rebuild by trading your stars for multiple first rounders which all three of those teams managed to do.

Our "stars" Drummond and Blake netted us a second round pick and a large buyout, respectively.

We were lucky that we got the #1 pick in 2021 to accelerate our rebuild, but even then the jury is still out on how good Cade will end up being.

Yup, thats the other beautiful thing about drafting a Star. When they do want out it really accelerates a rebuild with future 1st rounders.

Pistons just sat in treadmill zone for 15 years with no assets.

A left field thought, but I wonder if Weaver kicks the tyres on Ben Simmons. He'd have to believe Simmons can get his back to his Sixers form though as this season he has been very mediocre. We'd have the cap space from next season to take on his contract though and could even ask for some draft capital given how much he is underperforming his dollar value currently. On the other hand, you could argue that you might not want a guy like that around our young core.

Doubt we make a deal.

Bojan & Burks & Noel might have value but they also have value to our roster.

Y'all want a bunch of under 25s rolling out the balls every day? Where's that gonna get you? Washington is that example in real time and they haven't done squat for years too.

Surely we're aiming higher than that

Bojan turns 34 this year! He will produce next season but after that how good is he really going to be? His trade value is at an all time high now, what value is a 35 or 35 year old Bojan giving you? We probably aren’t a playoff team next season, so what’s the point? Get a couple more wins next year and feel slightly better whilst still missing the playoffs and then his production start rapidly declining? I want our young guys to take the next step but I don’t think that’s reliant on Bojan being here. If our young players don’t improve we will fail regardless of how good Bojan plays. The risk vs reward needs to be considered here and the benefit of keeping him is far smaller than the reward of trading him.

So much this.

The odds that we are currently seeing the absolute pinnacle of Bogdanovic the player are very, very high. Any astute GM of a non-contending team would recognize that this would be a perfect time to capitalize on selling an asset that is currently at an all time high in value. Most especially if that team was sitting bottom 2 in the league and that asset is about to be 34 years old.

But hey, mis-managing assets is very on brand for the Detroit Pistons.

Do we know what Bojans trade value even is? I agree with what your saying but would like to know exactly what the parameters of the trade we passed on is before being upset

Who would say no to a Bey and Top 1 protected 2023 FRP to Brooklyn for Bridges? Pick would need to have special language given the pick owned by Knicks right now, but as long as Pistons miss the playoffs this year it would convey. Nets would gamble that Detroit didn't win Wemby with 14% chance and then get to pick top 7, potentially winning Scoot.

Would Detroit trade Bey and Scoot for Bridges come draft night? Would you?

[MortSahlfan]

Golly I'd love to acquire Bridges from the Nets.

Definitely. I'd give up a lot to get him.

If its a 1st rounder of any variety, that's worth more to Detroit long term than anything Bojan will provide for the next 1.25 seasons.
