    Blake should sue Clippers for sending him there.

    Awful deal. Kanter is bad and expires, Lee is not good and does not expire, we just paid to send Vonleh away and he expires anyway.

    It does not save us money either and we send the pick away.

    Casey was adamant in the most recent podcast saying the team will add money this year and won't try to save it. He's prolly not even considering getting the MLE, but still. He did say the motivation won't be dumping $ this deadline.


    It does. In the summer, it gets us out of the tax for next year giving us the full MLE.

    Casey said that? That’s encouraging, he usually keeps it pretty cautious.

    Living in LA I have seen a lot of Blake's interviews. With age comes maturity. He has been a dickhead in the past and his contract sucks, but what the hell.
    If Detroit wants to escape that contract, and they should based on their record in the East, then I would help them out. ET, Leonard, Aminu, Simons (or Trent), and a 1st. He is still only 29 years old.....

    Maybe even substitute in Collins into the deal

    They don't. I wish they did, but they don't. They know he's their best player by far, and they're going to do their damnedest to build around him.

    Talk on twitters today is that they have had discussions with CHA to trade away Dummond for Batum (and a bunch of young dudes). Which would be incredibly stupid for Detroit, but this is what they do.

    It depends on what they get back. If they get Miles Bridges, Malik Monk, and a pick that could be a good trade.

    I'm tired of all this Blake Griffin talk....

    Griffin is injury PRONE.

    He missed his entire 2009-10 rookie season. Zero games.

    Then this:

    I'm sorry, but FUCK playing Blake Griffin all that money for 67 games a season....

    That Batum contract is toxic. Talk was Monk, Batum for Drummond.


    Awful deal for Detroit.

    I get this but you're on your own island with this one. Blake has been absolutely ridiculous this year.

    IF the Pistons contacted the Hornets and offered them Drummond for Batum and Monk the deal would already have happened. Charlotte would have accepted that immediately.

    There’s no way we would get Blake without including CJ anyway, players like that don’t get salary dumped.

    Now what I do CJ for Blake? Absolutely

    I've been saying for weeks that the Pistons have soured on Drummond.

    We already knew Prince was available.

    Parsons to Atlanta doesn't make much sense though. I guess they could send Plumlee's contract back which offsets like half of it but Memphis isn't giving up Jaren Jackson and trading a future pick is tricky with all the protections on the pick the owe Boston.

    Parsons and a future 1st for Plumlee and Dedmon works. It keeps Memphis under the tax line unlike if Bazemore or Lin were part of it instead of Dedmon. I would imagine they'd be looking for a 3rd team for Dedmon or Lin then?
