No Derrick Rose. Please play Saben Lee. Its not that hard Casey.

No Ellington. Just keep McGruder on the bench. Bey and Jackson can both get 20+ minutes. Easy stuff.

With McGruder and Sekou, there's absolutely no way we win this game.

McGruder will morph into this year’s McRae. He’ll be getting starters minutes before long

That foul on Paul is what’s wrong with the NBA.

He wanted that foul and jumped on Josh’s foot.

I'm sick of Dwane Casey honestly definitely wouldn't mind getting another head coach here.

Even if contracts were equal I'd take Kaminsky over Blake at this point. Blake needs to retire.

Nice to see Ellington and Rose both being withheld for trades to start tomorrow. Maybe something fun will happen right at the gate on Sat

The fact that Blake couldn't take Kaminsky 1 on 1 and shoots a step back 3 instead tells it all

I think he retires after he gets his 38 million next year. There's zero lift and life in his legs

Possibly Okafor as well, he can be traded starting tomorrow.

The faint smell of an impending trade warms the soul on a cold winter night. Maybe a combination of players for a decent pick.

Even if Rose, Ellington, and some combo of Okafor or Wright are gone, better get ready for even more uglier basketball. We're talking BG at point forward and more Plumlee horn sets

We’re Piston fans.

We’re more likely to give up guys like Sekou, Josh Jackson, and picks for a washed up name on a bloated contract.

Which is why it's comical to me that people believe Casey is continuing to play Blake in an effort to WIN games.

Only thing I smell is the strong smell of poop. The poop is our players trade value outside of Grant.

Oh that ship has sailed. I get Casey possibly trying to do right for Blake being a popular vet on his farewell tour before his payday but the imperative decree is very much in from Weaver to do the exact opposite of winning

Sekou minus 15 in ten minutes. The legendary Suns player Nader is plus 24.
