Detroit Pistons & NBA Talk (Part 2)

Well Tobias has one year left and PJ can slide in to be the future starter at PF. That solves the problem on finding a starting PF without needing to spend a 1st FRP. Also, it’s a (hypothetical) trade so PJ has zero say on this. If PJ is the starter and Tobias is the backup, then fine. It works for the Pistons because they literally do not have a viable backup PF all year this season.

right I’m saying that the Mavs can get more for a good starter on a great contract than a 3rd guard, a 5th forward, and a 2nd round pick

The Mavs do not have Kyrie for next season and need a ballhandler. Schroeder makes sense for the Mavs considering they don’t have a PG on the roster. The PG FA market is bad.

Is there a path for Dallas to find a starting level PG in the FA or trade? There isn’t room for PJ once Cooper is drafted.

I’m not sure that elevanting a team from 25 wins to 29 is something I’d trade PJ washington for

I’m being a littler hyperbolic, but “starting Dennis Schroeder” is not something a playoff team does, so the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Indeed, sir!

My most insanely hot take that is almost certainly false but feels correct is that the Pacers are juicing. They play so so so hard.

Godspeed Pacers, please give us a competitive series

My hot take is that Siakam is a very under-rated player
