other teams have better assets, like atlanta, san antonio, or okc (just off the top of my head). other teams have been accumulating first round picks, the pistons have not. the pistons' tradeable young assets arent really that young anymore in terms of a contract. ivey and duren are both due big deals. do you want to trade ausar? i know we all joke about holland and sasser, but would another team really want either of those players as a centerpiece - or asset - in a deal? sasser isnt very good, is too small, and never plays. holland has regressed in year two and looks like a hustle guy with limited offensive upside. ymmv on ivey and duren. someone may love the potential and think they can extend them on lesser deals (especially ivey) that they will outplay once they get healthy/achieve their peak performance. but i doubt duren takes less cash. the real potential in ivey/duren is suckering the guy who drafted them into taking them for a better player/pistons fit (murphy) whom he didnt draft. knowing weaver and dumars' track record, you may not even have to throw in too many (or any) picks. when they have a scouting report crush on a player, they trade assets to get him regardless of whether they could get any back (see wiseman deal, bagley deal, stewart deal (which worked out), recent queen deal). its possible to swindle them for one of their crushes, which could be ivey/duren.

much needed regulation win.

lol ohio state.
-
if theyre going to trade him where he wants to go, he aint coming here.
-
i'm not trading for giannis because he's likely seriously injured. and will be a free agent soon.
-
is there a point to ron holland?
-
they made zion available and no one called. is there not a james wiseman deal out there? how about we offer them six second round picks and ron holland for murphy? paul reed for zion? reed is tall!
-
as you wrote before, they dont have enough assets to beat other teams' offers. as i countered, never underestimate the combined stupidity of joe dumars and troy weaver.
-
these records are like steroid era home run stats. totally inflated.

someone tell craig button

since then they lost to brooklyn and indiana again. both by double digits. the bulls have a legit claim to being the worst team in the league right now. billy donovan really needs to be fired. even if the real reason is terrible roster construction, he is the head coach and the team is no longer playing for him. there are only a few players who are bothering to try. vucevic has quit. patrick williams has NEVER tried hard. coby white tries hard to score...and only for him to score. ayo tries hard, but he's a role player. giddey tries harder to nail high school sophomores than he does to play defense. its a complete mess. they could trade for AD. the IDEA of AD is exactly what they need: veteran rim protector. but we all know AD in street clothes wont help them. bulls talk today waa about trading for trey murphy today. i dont think the bulls have enough tall, useless big men to tempt troy weaver to trade his best player. bulls are so desperate they might even give up assets for zion.

lol. michigan's whooped penn state for the last decade for the most part.
-
That's what they pay for. nothing else in the big ten comes close.
-
i work for a company that insures michigan. one of many.
-
it seems paul's greatest talent these days is complaining.
-
a couple things: they were likely going to go up anyway given the ultra litigious environment in which we live. they did probably increase more because of the payout. they also might have had to pay some money out of their own pockets because the insurer would argue that not all the allegations were covered. msu, osu, psu, and michigan all had big time sexual abuse scandals at their universities in which the people who came forward as victims - and especially their lawyers - got paid a lot of money.
-
i wonder if the pistons would take a look at chris paul?
-
those settlements were paid by their insurance companies.
-
jenkins turned back into jenkins. caris lavert still kind of sucks. ron holland continues to be a disappointment. cade cant save you every night. have teams figured out how to stop the cade to duren pipeline? cade cant save you every night. need more scoring. need ivey to become the guy we were promised with the #5 pick in the draft.
-
because chicago sucks.
-
money is not the problem, arrogance is. they assumed that a mormon coach would leave byu, and that jeff brohm - prominant alumni and mr. louisville - would leave his alma mater to jump at the chance to be fired at penn state if he went 10-2. welcome to reality penn state. you missed the boat. have fun with someone's offensive coordinator.

wink better be next.

lane kiffin has ALWAYS been this person. if ol miss thought they could actually keep lane kiffin theyre delusional.
-
who would have thought indiana would replace notre dame as the best football team in the state of indiana?
-
i wonder if zion will ever care about basketball enough to stop eating burger king and porn stars?
