This man said CAM SPENCER we not taking you series we only need 3 and D wings power forward. MPJ OR JJJ are the only big targets we should go after otherwise do small deals like you said moody ,keon ellis ,dean wade
👋 Yooooo, Fellow Sickos!

JJJ hasn't gotten better. I actually like him but geez, can we get 7-8 rpg? 5 is just insane and as the season progresses I become more convinced him and Evan Mobley are overrated and borderline one dimensional even
I think the Pistons should trade Reed and a pick for Bobby Portise and try for Max Christie.
Why don't you just stop talking about them y'all wasn't talking about them two years ago
Either MPJ or 2 Shooters.
How about kuminga
TPE & 2 2nd rounders- Coby White
Splash Trade- Tobas, Ivey, Levert/Or Sasser & a 1st this year- MPJ
For a guard that shoots 3s: If only Kyrie Irving was a little younger/didn’t tear his ACL. He would be a great ball handler/playmaker next to Cade. Also great off ball. Averages 25ppg, 40% career 3 pt shooter and would take a ton of pressure off Cade. He gets a lot of attention from the opposing teams defense too.
Yooo – Kenny Beecham just did another video reacting to Grants recent Bleacher Report article. He said shouts out to the people at BR/Grant real quick at the start. 💜
Levert for Portis.
Ideal trade targets (assuming no Trey Murphy): Ayo Dosunmu (SG/PG) and Onyeka Okongwu (PF/C)
Trade 1:
Ivey >> NO
Yves Missi and Caris >> ATL
Okongwu + NO cap filler >> DET
Trade 2:
Ayo >> Det via TPE
Draft picks >> CHI
Pistons add ballhandling, defense, and scoring without touching essential pieces.
Jaden Ivey is limping back and forth…during games. I don't think Ivey should even be playing, and I don't see him having any trade value at all. Also the only reason to trade Harris is because of his sorta big contract, I feel if he stayed he would probably sign for a hometown discount, and Stewart has shown to be able to stretch the floor shooting around 40% from 3, but Caris needs to be moved, he's a good player, just not good on detroits squad. Trying to find players that fit like Jevonte has fit there is not going to be easy for Trajan.
Ivey, Sasser 1 FRP to Pelicans for Herb and Alvarado
The half court offense with space is simple, Cade and Duren pick and roll with floor spacing
