I'm going to guess Baldwin for sure, Papa G maybe. If we can trade Meyers, Papa G becomes a probably.
I’d give up our pick this year, Turner, and Aminu for Blake. That’s a very good deal for Detroit, financially speaking. Turner will be an expiring after next season and Aminu is expiring this season. And they get back the pick they lost. But if the deal breaker was an additional lottery protected pick, I’d probably do that too. If we’re not gonna trade CJ, we need to go for it.
Some more stuff we all, deep down, know: Regardless of our trade and Free agency dreams, it'll probably come down to internal development.... AGAIN. Summer 2016: We had a great year, re-signed our guys and signed Turner to a huge contract. Season 2016-17: Davis got injured and most all of our role players regressed. Played really poorly, but a trade for a rejuvenated Nurk got us into the postseason. Commentary 2016-17: Had our role players not regressed so badly, we might have had a great season (of course we might not have made the Nurk trade....) Summer 2017: Drafted 2 bigs so coach wouldn't have to play Biebs anymore. We did little else, but draft a 19-yo WABC who couldn't start on his own college team. Season 2017-18: Davis back healthy, role players Pat and Shabazz improved, but ET still sucked, and Harkless was very inconsistent. Just when he seemed to put it all together, he gets injured for the playoffs, and we get swept. Commentary 2017-18: It's become clear that we need ALL of our role players (who play) to play well to make it to the 2nd round. Perhaps unfairly so, but the franchise's fortunes seem to be pinned to a thin 20 year old WABC and a guy whose attitude was so bad that he was cut in the middle of his guaranteed contract. Summer 2018: Even though our season will hinge on our 2nd year players, the truth is that if Neil doesn't make some sort of trade, he'll be fired before the season starts. So, a trade is likely.
Why do you have to exaggerate and make stuff up again? Just stick to the facts and you have plenty of reasons to blast Olshey. He's made two big trade deadline moves in the last 5 years (Afflalo and Nurk). He's also made a couple of nice off season trades (RoLo and Plumlee). Granted that isn't a lot of trades but you can't say he made that excuse for 5 years. People act like trades are so easy like in a video game.
Are you going to compare your jobs and how much you make next? HA! Remember you did that to me? Classic. On a side note, do you constantly say the same repetitive opinions to these so called “real life” friends? Over and over and over? God could you imagine? “THIS RESTARAUNT SUCKS!!!”....” I HATE THIS NICE WEATHER!!!”...... “FUCK THIS TRAFFIC!”
I certainly do. "Our forum's team insider is useless!" "These Blazer Broadcasting replays are terrible!" "My lawn looks like crap!"
A blow up doll isn't a real life friend. Trust me, I'm not the only one that is annoyed by your constant whining.
