Pistons have reported been open to trade scenarios involving Drummond. What would you give?

I prefer Myles over Drummond right now. Myles fits the current NBA landscape perfectly for a big guy. Drummond' defense is nothing special and given the Pacers current inability to put teams away, late-game free throws are crucial and Drummond is historically poor. Plus, Myles has already made nice strides on offense and rebounding, and that will only go up.

Plus, I know it isn't a huge difference but Myles does have the advantage of being younger by a few years.

Not to mention the flexibility Myles gives us being under his rookie deal.

Both Myles and Drummond are overrated but Drummond still has more of a chance of being special. Myles is cheap in today's NBA, a stretch big.

When we've played Detroit, Tobias Harris has hurt us. Morris and Leuer too. I'd take any of those over Drummond. Harris is expensive though.

Drummond may be a nice piece to pair with Turner.

I wouldn't deal Turner at this point unless there is an ELITE piece coming back. Turner at age 20 has shows major strides. Build around him.

Deal Paul Monte Rodney Thad Al CJ to get younger, more athletic, and add more length.

2017 is going no where! Bail now and play for '18
