Just write him off

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some second round picks, a potato.  Baby, you’ve got a Beef stew going.

this is a crazy sentence LMAO

What is it called when in movies the troubled protagonist takes something of value to a pawn shop and they just hold it for them until they need it back? It’s that situation.

Detroit getting cap space for something.

Maybe joining the Lakers in trying to use max cap space to either steal an RFA and/or pry other contracts away from teams with RFAs.

The Lakers contract to AR makes even more sense now.

Dogshit management by Trajan, some Troy Weaver shit.

Karim Lopez was our GM’s guy, even flying to NZ to watch him play

He traded down, got his guy, and got Stew for literally 0 assets

Grizzlies FO have been killing it since they fired Hollinger

They still have two more 2nds from the first deal as well

really looking forward to how they build around Boozer these are smart moves

Grizzlies are clearly the winners of this draft their front office is putting in work

I went from a little uncertain of how the draft went to declaring us clear winners of the past two days.

Walking away with Cam, Karim, Stew, and two future second rounders feels good. Maybe Saunders recovers from the ACL and is a decent backup SG but that’s less on my mind

And the 2 seconds from the first move down

Kleiman has been cooking these two days. Cant deny

Like the movie Draft Day

They’ve done really well so far, solid fit next to Boozer.

The accountant special 

Are the Pistons operating a Ponzi scheme?

To clear salary, moving up a couple spots just a bonus

Inverted Randle

Also created a large trade exception

For a player that was projected to go 22-24, so they must have also had reason to believe Okorie was going early.

Came out with boozer, Lopez, byu shooter, Isaiah Stewart and 2 more 2nd round picks. Phenomenal draft bc I think they wanted Lopez at 16

They draft well. They’re just injured a lot

Moved back from 17 to 21 for Stew

No, the Pistons gave up 21 as well.

It’s basically Stewart + 21 for 17 and salary relief

Stewart and 21 for 17

And they wanted to move off of Stewart’s contract, I guess? If so, goal achieved

Well they gave up 21, too. So stewart to move up 4 spots. Im high on Stew, so…yikes

im gonna assume Detroit’s front office is cooking

they know Trade Exceptions last 1 year from the calendar date of the trade

they opened up a $15m trade exception that now expires 1 day after next year’s draft, and not during.

that buys them an additional day if some draft day trades come down to the wire next draft

Probably fielding the market, and this was the best return without returning salary.

Man it was already perfect. We already embraced him so much 

I can’t wait to root for him in Memphis

Yeah everyone’s clowning Detroit but they moved up four spots and dumped a guy they didn’t want in the process.

My exact thoughts too

33% on two attempts isn’t great. Especially when you consider he wasn’t impactful in the playoffs

Memphis dropped from 17 to 21 in exchange for stew

Pistons sent Memphis 3 seconds and 21 for 17 yesterday. Today Memphis sent those 3 seconds back and got beef stew in return.

DET is clearing apron/tax money to max out Duren and Thompson

He is good problem is he is always hurt

Yeah no you’re high. Duren was bad in the playoffs but dude made all nba and is one of the best roll men in the league. Playing with Cade, one of the best PnR ball handlers. Love stew but he’s got bricks for hands, pretty much any pistons fan will say thag

Yes

We’ll at least they forced the Lakers to sign Reaves to a huge contract. Though Reaves with Cade is an intriguing pair.

I guess they’ll try to get Hero or Powell now.

Clear cap space for Powell?

Every fan on Reddit thinks every GM is incompetent 

There’s plenty of things you can say about Tom Gores, but I don’t think cheap is one of those things. He did kick Monty Williams to the curb owing him a ton of cash still. I still hate this trade.
