Pau Gasol in his prime was the key piece they got rid of. They were in a very similar place to OKC. They got rid of Pau before he had a chance to leave and it turned out pretty good for them. Gasol only had 1/2 a season left on his contract when they moved him while Russ is a much better player with 1.5 years left and would get a much bigger return. Not to mention Oladipo as a solid trade chip.

Pau wasn't nearly as good as Russ. And that team wasn't as competitive as this one, or as young.

You've set a standard that 28 teams should tank

I've always hoped the Pistons could acquire a non-shooting, non-driving, non-athletic, non-fast break, non-passing, non-defense playing PG and since his knee injury, boy do we have one.

My grandma drove to the rim against him last week in my driveway. It's icy and cold in Michigan too and you can bet she had him on ice skates.

He's terrible, had to vent, goodbye.

...I hate Durant.


And what's funny about it is Reggie has an ego the size of a dump truck. He thinks he's an All Star level PG.
