Question: If you’re Jaylen Brown are you offended?
You were willing to trade me for Giannis who’s coming off of his most injury riddled season & throw in assets to make it happen.
Based on reporting you only held the line because of Hugo/Scheierman.
Put yourself in his shoes.

@ash4nd1021 stew and levert aren’t being moved in this?
also, i said “at the right price” if you have to break the bank for norm then no
English
What the fuck are you talking about brother
nmz@nmzhoops
Moves like this are all about if you can add the player at the right price. Norm has weaknesses like most guys who are looking for a home this time of year but he also brings some juice the Pistons need. Defensively they can cover for him, and we know he can get hot in a hurry.
English
@ash4nd1021 we have proof of concept of norm next to a bigger lead guard in harden, cade is bigger and grittier defensively too
norm next to a smaller less capable defensive guard <<<
him and cade works imo, pistons just have more work to do
norm can be a piece
English
@ash4nd1021 they need guys who can put the ball in the hole
he doesn’t need to be their secondary playmaker but they also lost an element they had with malik beasley from the year prior.
they have one reliable outside shooter in drob, norm can be a instant offense guy off their bench.

The Pistons are looking to acquire Norman Powell, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer “Sources say that the Pistons indeed intend to add Powell, who is coming off his first All-Star season, to their list of potential offseason targets as they look to add shooting and playmaking in support of star guard Cade Cunningham.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)

This actually represents growth, went from thinking he can be the franchise guy to a Scottie Pippen type player.
Obv still wrong, but baby steps.

Since when is a 6’9 wing who plays any role you ask, guards 1–5, shot almost 50% from the field and cares about defense a ‘throw‑in’? lol
English
2017 Steph and KD wasn’t that long ago for people to forget.
B1.@chicagoBRIZ
Tatum gonna be the best #2 option the nba ever seen
English
@RK_DRAFT @ash4nd1021 i also think it’s super hard to overcome that gap in ftR
if you can’t guard without fouling the other team gets freebies, a bunch of time playing in the bonus against guys in foul trouble, and a chance to reset their defense
over time that starts to wear you down
English
@nmzhoops @ash4nd1021 Yup, we lost that series as much due to lineup weaklinks and wonkiness as much as “not having shot creation”, when you deep into the game logs
The ability of James / Mitchell to draw switches and break the first line of defense was all that was needed to get good shots
English
Last 5 of the series (1-4), CLE nullified the possession battle advantage, lived at the FT line, & kept the em out of transition.
Possessions: CLE 483, DET 479
FTr: CLE .442, DET .234
FB points: CLE 14.2, DET 8.6
In a grind it out half-court battle they never stood a chance.

Do people even know why the pistons failed this postseason?

@ash4nd1021 read the number then read this, it’ll save you some time

As a former Trae fc member he sadly stinks An incapable off ball player due to size and athleticism deficiencies as a 5’11 guard with zero bounce or strength, so he’s a horrible at the basket, due to shit mechanics and size while also having a low motor and bad habits, can’t/wont be a movement shooter either. So he’s left to be in a primary option/engine role, and while technically over the course of the regular season he is this he has massive draw backs. Again he’s small so there’s reads that as an engine you need to be able to make that he doesn’t/can’t consistently. Needs to play with a good screener+ rim runner combo so he can create high level shots at the rim for himself or others And while those things aren’t the worst thing you remember this guy is one of the worst volume pull up 3P shooters in the sport and has zero in between game besides his inconsistent floater. And then on the other end he’s a horrid defensive player that even on his best of days can only provide passable fifth man abilities. So in the end you’re left with a high turnover, horribly inefficient guard who is a black hole on the other end

Can someone explain to me what the issue is with the contract
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
BREAKING: Trae Young intends to sign a four-year, approximately $212 million deal to stay with the Washington Wizards, with a player option in Year 4, sources tell ESPN. The four-time NBA All-Star declined his $49M player option for a long-term commitment ahead of free agency.
English
similar to Lopez, Horford, & Kristaps having 2 forwards capable of grabbing 10+ DREBs a night covers up for those bigs.
Aside from Pritchard (assuming White is dealt) they’d be really short on handlers though.
This could be a very busy summer for Boston, but I’m intrigued.
English
While Bam’s switching gifts could never yield the high-end results because his teams were smaller so other mismatches or boxing out would present issues.
Obviously, some kinks to work out, but they could compliment each other nicely as a front-court tandem with the right pieces.
