The problem is that the potential trade market is really weird for him right now. The BYC rule means that Detroit almost certainly needs to send salary to a third team, so any value they get would be reduced to pay for the salary dump (or would require them to send out players they value). Add in the fact that every other team would know that Detroit would be negotiating under duress and I don’t think that they’d get the value they’d want in order to send out a 22yo part of their core. And that’s before even considering that they’d need to acquire a center to pair with Paul for this season, so that either further restricts a potential S+T or requires them to make an additional deal

Cade might get pissed if the team becomes a play-in team. Difficult to asses if he feels as strongly about Duren as most everyone here

No way. AD is still delusional enough to think he should be getting a max. They don’t want to hand over more than 40 million AAV for Duren. They sure as hell aren’t going to like what AD asks for.

Ware and Herro gets it done, immediately I think.

i don’t think getting a bunch of draft picks and young talent for duren is realistic for the pistons at this point

If AD is healthy

If I had a million dollars I would be a millionaire

Base year compensation rule applies and instantly makes an AD for Duren trade very difficult .

And AD can do everything AD doesn’t want to do. Bro said for years he doesn’t wanna play Center lmao

If AD is healthy

That’s a huge if…also, he old and getting more brittle by the year, his time line doesn’t match up at all.

You’re forgetting Cade and Duren are really close, I think he just wants his boy to sign and move on.

And more. AD actually plays defence and is a playoff riser

He’s a 32 year old big man with the lengthiest injury history, are you high

Lmao! AD is hardly ever healthy

Nico had the same logic

> If AD is healthy

Here we go again.

AD will always be a question of Health but this should be a no brainer. Sometimes you take a swing and you miss but if this works out AD is everything Cade could ever ask that

It literally checks off so many boxes. like, it keeps him happy (although to be fair Cade has been very unproblematic thus far so we can’t say anything about him), gives a perfect big man, high IQ, etc.

Again the risk is health because you would make this trade assuming there’s going to be a stretch where AD isn’t available. If it happens during the playoffs you’re in trouble

Because there’s plenty of things to shit on Duren for but availability is not really the issue with him

He will never be healthy enough. If someone said the over/under of career playoff games Anthony Davis ever plays again is 3.5 I’d take the under.

gonna stop you right there friend

He never is

people been saying this about ad for like 5 years now

How could the trade actually work? AD is one of the highest paid players in the league (tied for 3rd at $58.5 mil) and the Pistons can only get half of whatever they sign Duren to in a sign and trade.

Hell fucking no. Thats a pretty big “if” for AD at this point of his career (or past 5 years)

Why would the Wizards trade a 1st in this situation lol

The pistons have no leverage in this trade.

Have you any idea of the size of AD’s contract which has a player option next season?

Drop the ‘Day’.. it’s cleaner

I’d like to trade him, just not for two weeks of ADNP.

I think he’s asking for too much money and i wouldn’t pay him that but i don’t see why a fanbase should turn on him. He’s acting exactly how he should imo. He just better get a bag at the end of this and not mess it up.

Sure but you gotta get the right deal and not just trade him for the sake of it

Fr. Even if he stays the chemistry and vibes are down the drain

And could win a championship if those 20 games happened in the playoffs

Which one?

He screams “Kings make another mistake in a bad trade involving Sabonis”

What team has money to offer him the max…..I’ll wait.

How is he a diva? He hasn’t even said anything. Hasn’t  gone to the press. All he’s done is decline a contract extension because he feels disrespected.

He feels like he deserves more because other young players in his position have received more. He’s entitled to feel that way. He isn’t obligated to accept a contract from a team if he doesn’t want to.

Wizards are going to the playoffs this season.

AD has missed 93 games in the past 2 seasons, an avg of 46.5

Look up base year compensation, for any of these S&T possibilities.

Miles Turner may help with spacing but he is on a bad contract, doesn’t rebound, is older, and doesn’t step up in the playoffs either. If we take any deal for Turner there has to be a FRP attached and Milwaukee isn’t trying to trade picks as they are rebuilding. They aren’t a Duren away from competing. It’s a worse deal than what Washington is offering.

I understand he had a terrible run of games in the playoffs but a pylon is crazy

Of all time 😂😂. You have to actually play to be considered dynamic or even great lol.

LOL at the notion that AD would make it to the playoffs.
