Pistons/Hawks/Nuggets 

Post#1 » by Astaluego » Wed May 22, 2024 6:39 pm

PISTONS
In:MPJ
Out:I.Stewart

If the rumors are true, they were willing to offer T.Harris a lot of money...this in my opinion is a better option, Porter is younger, a better shooter and a much better fit for Cade and company...and they would still have money to spend on FA or suck some contract to get assets... Pistons starting to look good

Duren/Wiseman?
MPJ/Draft(Buzelis?)
Fontecchio/Brown
Ausuar/Grimes
Cade/Ivey/Sasser


HAWKS
In:Nnaji/Denver 31 FRP
Out: Hunter

Cut a lot of money in what would be a small restructuring for a guy who is constantly in trade rumors and they get a future FRP that could be very valuable, when Jokic I'm 36 years old

NUGGETS
In:Hunter/I.Stewart
Out:MPJ/Nnaji/Future FRP

Get 2 playable guys who should improve their depth at positions of need, and flexibility... while saving a few million

I'll be 100% for MPJ trade if it brings us back SF that is the best catch and shoot players in the NBA by shoothin %, can average 22.8/8.4/1.2 on 55.3/48.8/76.9 as MPJ did against the Lakers, with 4/8.2 from 3. If not, trade will make us worst. I don't see such player coming to Denver. He had bad serias against Wolves, as did Butler against Nuggets, Tatum against GSW... Murray was even worst than MPJ in this playoffs but no need to trade any of them if we can't get anything worthy back.

From a Pistons fan…

I think (hope) the Tobias Harris rumors are just that. A couple of years at 15per? Sure. But 30-40, no way.

So MPJ has a big contract, which he is probably not worthy. So for the Pistons, this is a 2-1 deal. Giving up Stewart, and then giving up on a free agent that we can’t get because we used so much cap on MPJ. I think I’d rather see what I could get in free agency first.

Tobias is a superior defensive player compared to MPJr. MPJr is the better shooter, but Tobias is more versatile on offense. Tobias issues are his age and his mentality. He disapears when the team needs him. Age doesn't mean much comparing this 2 players, because of MPJr injuries history, even at a more advanced age, Tobias might play more than MPJr.

I would rather Detroit doesn't get any of this 2 players. If I had to chose one, it would be Tobias Harris. There are better options out there, Fontecchio might become a better player than both, even tho right now he is the worst defender of the 3, but offensively he was great with Cade.
