    Wow, only top 8 protected.

    HOU makes out like bandits in this. A low lottery pick for a RFA who has back issues and a Jodie Meeks clone?

    SVG seems hellbent on making the playoffs
     
    Eastoff and Draco like this.

    You think he would target a healthy player then? Very perplexing.

    They have all the pieces to challenge for home court in the 1st round. Aside from the Cavs and Raps, the East is wide open.

    Zach Lowe tweeting the DET pick is top-8 protected. kind of a steal, off the top of my head...

    If that garbage gets a Top-8 protected pick, how can we not get something like that for Henderson? That is disappointing....

    Not gonna lie, I'd kill for a return like what HOU just got for Meyers.

    It's not a low lottery pick if Detroit is not in the lottery.

    It could be anywhere between 9-20. Still great value.

    Is it for sure this year's pick? Oops never mind....I see that it is. Yeah that is a good trade for Houston.

    Detroit is making the playoffs, who gives a shit about protection?

    Top 8 this year, top 10 protection for 2 years after. It's probably going to be converted this year with their newly improved roster in DET.

    I agree. Pistons have a solid roster now for a run. Their D is strong enough to get to the 2nd round as long as they avoid the 8th seed.

    We're getting Varejao. Sam Amick tweeted.

    ugh. Better be some good incentives there.
