PISTONS @ BLAZERS - GAME THREAD - 11/11/13, MONDAY, 7PM

His extension can't be a max since we didn't give him a Max before and extensions are based off of your last contract except when dealing with rookie contracts. He will be a FA at the end of his contract but if he is still on this team at that time then we will be pretty sure he is going to sign with us.

 

I don't think Aldridge was willing to sign at the current state of the blazers

 

Minny loses, HCA baby!

 

Wait, wut? Are you saying Detroit should sit Jennings and bring in Dragic as the PG? PHX is in full tank mode, even though they've won a few games to start the season. They'd want high draft picks for Dragic.

 

Mt. Tabor. I'll be the guy dress as a squirrel ... and there are only three periods in an ellipsis.

 

If they got a first I think phx would jettison Dragic before the other GM had finished offering.

 

I don't think Detroit wants or needs Dragic. Jennings looked nice tonight. Reminded me a of smaller version of Rondo, in that he can blow anyone on the pick and roll. I never thought much of Jennings in the past, but damn, he's got some very quick moves.

 

Hmm Dragic would be interesting on Detriot if they didn't have kcp or w/e his name is waiting in the wings. I'd like Dragic on Detriot as another ball handler, since Detriot has been looking to move stuckey for two years now, but if Kcp can take on that role as the year goes by then I really don't see any reason for Detriot to want him. Detriot should just retire Billups and give him a clipboard, he looks as washed up as a player can at the moment.

 

Dragic is due $7.5/year through the 2015-16 season. I can't think of a reason why Detroit would consider trading for him at this point. They need to pay Monroe next year at a contract that will be at least LMA's level, and just gave Josh Smith huge money.

 

Batum has really become our go to distributor in crunch time. I'm really liking his new role! Very important!

 

I don't think Detriot is going to keep Monroe and I thought Dragic was up next year, no way a team that isn't in desperate need of a PG trades for dragic with that kind of money left if it 2 years left after this year.

 

mags you predicted top 3 in the west, we're currently top 3. I want to hear some trash talking!

 

Thats why I wasn't worried with him getting so many TO's last year and I said it multiple times. It was his first year really distributing the ball and if thats our plan for him this year then we gotta let him get the turnovers out of his system. He isn't just our distributor in crunch time he runs the offense almost as much as Lillard does.

 

Very Pippen-like.

 

If Detroit doesn't keep Monroe, they may as well fold the franchise. Monroe is a very good offensive player, and is somewhat unstoppable in the low post.

 

Vanilla posted this (which I meant to quote in my post, not the other one)

I think Dragic would be more of a pass first point guard than Jennings. It was Vanilla's idea, I was just thinking of a point guard that might be available.

 

Word. Drummond is a beast in his own way but Monroe is on another level offensively.
