The Pistons are willing to move assets to become more competitive in the Eastern Conference, but they’re not inclined to make a trade simply to dump a bad contract. That’s what senior advisor Ed Stefanski told Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press in a recent Q&A.
Second-year guard Luke Kennard and future first-round picks are the most likely enticements to acquire another impact player, Ellis continues. The Pistons are close to the luxury-tax line and won’t exceed it unless they can get that type of talent.

Hell, for all the slack dumars rightfully took for drafting dorko they were never this hopeless on his watch. They're an inevitable Griffin injury from bottom 5 and there's no one they're getting with nothing to trade that will make them a contender now. They should be looking at giving away a pick to dump Jackson then maybe go from there. This is what happens when coaches get GM powers they aren't supposed to have!

Former NBA coach David Blatt predicts that 19-year-old Dallas Mavericks player Luka Dončić will be named 2019’s Rookie of the Year. “I told everyone he was the best player in the draft,” Blatt said Monday, speaking at Calcalist’s Forecast 2019 conference in Tel Aviv. “Stephen A. Smith is clueless at basketball,” Blatt said, referring to several comments made by the ESPN commentator favoring 2018 first draft pick DeAndre Ayton. “(Dončić) is hands down the best player in the draft,” Blatt said. – via CTech.com

Now, league sources tell Sporting News, the Hornets may finally be ready to include Kaminsky in a trade ahead of his coming restricted free agency. Given the way things have gone for him in Charlotte this year, he would likely welcome a change of scenery.
Teams have expressed interest, including some contenders, but the Hornets would most prefer to put the money remaining on Kaminsky’s $3.6 million deal with another big salary. Charlotte, according to league sources, is desperate to get out of the two years and $52 million remaining on Nicolas Batum’s salary, and at least one team was told that Kaminsky could be had if Batum were included.

And Kemba makes 12M a year. He's gonna get paid!

The wizards need to Dynamite that squad. Trade beale, Porter and ariza for whatever picks or restricted guys you can and just start over. Hopefully year after next wall can run and you have a chance with new talent and new locker room.

Get as many picks as possible and try to emulate GMOY Danny.

James Harden is ridiculous
Every time I watch him play, I still can't believe what OKC could've had.

James Harden is ridiculous Every time I watch him play, I still can't believe what OKC could've had. A black hole ISO player who hardly moves without the ball and plays no defense? Harden's at his best as the alpha surrounded by sidekicks, which is exactly what he has in Houston. It's not a formula that can win a title, but allows him to put up big numbers and have them be playoff competitive.

There's less baggage on the DAR/JR side, but I feel like we've seen their best. Celling is still undetermined for Ball-Ing.

Russ would be the one that would have to go.

Russ would be the one that would have to go. Harden running the second unit is exactly what they had. James wanted more, but his style is one that demands control of the ball and only relies on teammates for PnR and catch-and-shoot. So he did exactly what he wanted to do to succeed, he went to a team that needed him to be the #1 option (as opposed to changing up his game to be a complimentary player). Russ' style isn't much different. I honestly believe that this is why KD left. KD is much more well-rounded and doesn't need to be an ISO player to get his. He can compliment another superstar who's also willing to play without the ball and he's got two rings to show for it.

I love that Butler's telling a former Spurs assistant coach what it takes to win. JB's never even been to a Conference Final.

Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram OR DeAngelo Russell and Julius Randle Bal-ing in reality, DRJR in fantasy this season. I think Russell has peaked as a mercurial scorer who isn't there to win and win only. I'm a big fan of randle. He's still underrated in my book but he's semi-demensional. 🤔 He's a key piece not a lead. He has to the right guys around him ala worthy to magic and Kareem. Ball has already shown to be a much better 2 way player than Russell excelling in defense and mastery of the offensive flow. And he's a winner. He's still projecting as a Jason kidd he just needs health more than anything and the rest of this year for seasoning. Ingram has shown an elite package of game, is a winner as well and has huge alpha gonads. Here also just needs the remainder of this year for seasoning. IF the Lakers make a deal for say AD he'll be there player that will fetch the Superstar. He'll also always be the guy with an ENORMOUS chip on his shoulder and be out to slay everyone every night. He punched Chris Paul into retirement LoL

Apparently Raptors asked about Beal.
Wizards wanted Siakam, Anonuby, and two 1st-rounders.
Negotiations abruptly ended.
