Nets fans are going to kidnap Cam and drive him to Detroit after this.


It's so amazing - a couple of years ago, everyone in Detroit was thinking 4x$25M gets Cam to Detroit. Some of the best moves are the ones you don't make.


I still think he'd be a good addition for the Pistons, just not at the cost of No.5.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

But with this trade, you’re giving up #5, Stewart and $20M in cap space for MPJ. That’s 3 for 1 of starting level players. And of course there is the injury risk on top of that huge contract for MPJ. This wouldn’t be my Plan A.

Yeah, this. It’s just not a good move.

Yeah, I think we’d take him for free on his deal, as we wanted to sign him to something fairly similar. But for 5? Goodness no.

I'm not a Nets fan but for a Klondike bar, I'd help out.
