How was Bullock "not really meshing"?

Worded wrong, but he wasn't going to be staying. So we get something that might work as good or better. Bullock was alright. But meh, I'm not that upset he's gone. I like him personally. I didn't consider him a starter quality guy.

I like how the new guy moves offensively.

At least this brings a little excitement to want to watch a game now lol. Lately I have not even cared to bother. Hope we make a couple more moves similar to this now tbh. Would be great to get Fultz for SJ+Ish.

This is...interesting? I know it’s a small deal but it’s uncharacteristic of what the Brass has been preaching. I think there is a larger deal in the mix

It's completely opposite of what the brass has been preaching. Smh.

Sad thing is all indications pointed towards Reggie being happy to re-sign. Smfh.

Now we can only hope they will play the new guy a little to see what he can do.

Jury is still out on the current regime as far as drafting 2nd rounders but I like their start this past year with Bruce and khyri so well see.

Svi immediately is probably better than both of them. No knock on Khryi or Bruce but they arent anywhere close to making the rotation on an actual decent team in this league.

I’m not a Pistons fan and I hardly ever watch their games but I was a big fan of Khyri as a prospect in the pre draft processs. Wondering if you can tell me what exactly he’s struggled with in the pros?

Bullock for all his flaws was still our best wing. I was hoping for a deal just to make the team watchable and this is not it.
Another note will be griffins reaction. He seemed to have great chemistry with bullock and I'm sure he won't be happy with this deal

He hasn't been given much opportunity, so it's hard to gauge.

copy/pasting my GB reaction:

Pistons lost Baynes because they overpaid (and underplayed) Boban. Now they've lost Bullock because they've overpaid Galloway (and paid GRIII anything). Obviously it's good that the Pistons are getting anything at all for Bullock rather than losing him for nothing in the offseason because they can't afford to pay him, but this highlights past mistakes.

Bullock is a great guy to have on your team. The Pistons will be worse because of it. That's part of what makes this strange for Detroit. Our owner is constantly in win-now mode. It seems he wants to keep Griffin and Drummond and make the playoffs. But then he gets rid of our one decent wing player. It's like we're in a rowboat and he paddles only the left oar and the boat rotates in one direction. Then he paddles the right oar and it moves back in the other direction without having gone anywhere.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

I felt like you guys could have gotten more for him. The Lakers pick is gonna be mid 40's and Svi isn't an impressive prospect. Unless you guys draft well with that pick, I dont like the trade for you guys.

EDIT: its a 2021 2nd rounder which imo has a higher chance to be a late 2nd rounder

Very low value.

This could be the start of us changing direction though. Who knows what type of talks Ed and Gores have had behind closed doors. If we're not buying anyone and selling of a guy like Bullock its a clear move for the future. We could have more in store for the offseason.

OTOH I could be just hoping thats the case and its like you said were rowing to nowhere.

Hopefully we trade Blake, Dre and RJ for young players and picks tomorrow.

Good move I was pulling for a late first rounder but we got just a little less value than that which is fine.

I think trading Bullock has got to mean that we are not shooting for playoffs this year right? :nod:

It can also mean we anticipate a larger trade while staying under tax...

I would say if that was the case the trades would be done simultaneously rather than just trading Bullock and hope for the best for something else. I don't think we were in a bidding war for that dude

ducler · Post #99 » by **ducler** » Wed Feb 6, 2019 9:48 am

So let's trade both Dre and Blake now for picks, youngsters and expirings.

This is promising at least, hoping we trade Drummond or Blake for some future assets before the deadline as well
