Me too, but I don't think there is any way that Grant on his current contract or Grant+Thybulle can return the #5 pick from a team like Detroit without #14 (those second rounders aren't likely going to cut it). Of course, if I'm wrong, sign before Detroit can come to its senses.
first Edwards’ bit was the blazers trading 7 and stuff for Grant. then it was ‘the pistons are a dark horse to scoop grant away from the blazers via overpaying for him’, then at the deadline there was this hilarious monstrosity. I believe in editorial impartiality but in Edwards’ case… I’m not so sure. lol.
He played hard there and left on very good terms, I think him going back would be totally fine. They're actually a team better set to win than us next year.
that trade idea had some traction on RealGM, and some of it was with Detroit fans. Generally, they would have preferred the 7th pick (duh) but would settle for 14th pick. Thybulle wasn't mentioned that I recall. #34 was though. It seemed like among Pistons fans, at least those on RealGM, there was not much enthusiasm for the top-half of the lottery prospects I also liked the suggestion of Ayton + 14 for Duren + 5
I would consider it because keeping Jerami's contract makes no sense. But surely the difference between 14 and 5 in this draft is nowhere close to Grant and Thybulle. No way I throw Grant in to just move 9 spots where a similar tier player will be available at our original pick.
I suggested it as an alteration of a suggestion of sending Grant and 14 for 5 alone. I also suggested (tongue-in-cheek) that we send Ayton for Duren/5 while also swapping coaches.
Yeah, depending on what the board look like at that juncture, I definitely take that deal. I love having additional ammo in 26. However, if the Blazers are as high on Clingan as they appear to be, I don't think they would.
I think the target would more likely be Williams or Knecht at 9. But it would be interesting to go grab the 5th pick from Detroit and take Salaun or Buzelis at 5, with Williams or Knecht at 9.
