  1. There is one way to package Huerter with others for a bigger deal. Don't report the trade to the league. All three teams agree to the trade, then don't report it to the league. It would give the Pistons a day or two to work on a bigger trade. For example, they add Brooklyn to the deal as a fourth team but instead of Huerter going to Detroit, he goes to Brooklyn plus LeVert and picks from Detroit for MPJ. If Detroit can't work out a larger deal, the three teams just turn in the original trade to the league right before the deadline on Thursday. I'm not saying that is what is happening here. Just saying it is a possibility.
  2. The Pistons? They are about $30 million over the cap.
  3. No clue honestly. Using part of their TPE makes it even worse.
  4. Pistons had 15 players on the roster before the trade. 1 out 2 in means someone on the roster has to be cut. I would guess it will be Isaac Jones. That brings the roster back to 15 players. Then if/when they sign Jenkins to his NBA deal, they will have to create another roster spot for him. I imagine Saric would then be cut to make room for Jenkins.
  5. Good move by Boston
  6. Bulls did need some more guards...
  7. The two guys acquired today can be traded again before Thursday. But they have to be traded alone. Their salary can not be aggregated into a bigger package.
  8. So Saric was a separate deal and they used part of their TPE. Just to cut him. OK
  9. This trade actually made the Pistons a worse shooting team. How did that happen.
  10. Saric could be going into the TPE, yes. But using the TPE for a guy to cut would be horrible asset management. Even then, Huerter makes $7 million more than Ivey. So that trade doesn't work. I mean it must somehow, I'm just not seeing it.
  11. Hmmm. We don't have the roster space to make this happen, so someone is getting cut. Then I imagine Saric gets cut after that to make room for Jenkins. Not exactly sure how this works cap wise either. Ivey is about $10 million while Huerter is $17 million plus Saric at $5 million. We don't have cap space to do that.
  12. It was just a pick swap, so no extra pick for Detroit.
  13. Defensive player of the month awards won in Jan: 1 Three pointers made in Jan: 0 That isn't a joke. He made 0 three pointers in Jan and Dec.
  14. Saric is cooked, he is simply salary filler. Huerter is shooting 31% from three this season. Last three seasons he has shot 33%, 37%, 31% from three. Career 37% shooter though. This is the last season of his contract.
  15. LeVert is listed as available on tonight's injury report.
  16. When the 15-35 Utah Jazz make a bigger win now move than the Pistons. Odd times.
  17. Memphis created a $28.8 million trade exception, the largest ever in the NBA. They also have 13 first round picks in the next 7 seasons.
  18. Wow. Did not see that coming.
  19. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7017672/2026/02/03/nba-trade-deadline-james-harden-giannis/?source=user\_shared\_article
  20. I have read an ESPN trade roundup article and one from a Pistons beat writer at The Athletic. Either Detroit is covering their tracks extremely well, or they are doing nothing Thursday.
  21. Duren will participate in the dunk contest.
  22. What's the over under on how long before Pistons fans are complaining about his defense?
  23. Windhorst said Minnesota is actively recruiting 3rd and 4th teams to bring into a Giannis deal.
