2022 NBA Draft Night

[RandyMarsh]

Woj says it's a done deal for us for Duren. 

[Betrayer]

Please please please. If we got Duren and Ivey we won the draft and fixed our athleticism issue. 

[Hart]

I typed in Duren's name on google and one tweet has him being traded to the Pistons and another tweet has him being traded to the Knicks.

[Deleterious]

You cant take Duren when you just picked a guard that cant shoot.  The Pistons are about to put 4 guys on the floor that cant shoot >30% from three.  

[Hart]

I'm actually pretty high on Stewart and I don't think Stewart and Duren really fit well together.  Still, everybody seems to love Duren so I'm good with it.

All I can think about with Duren is how everybody compared him to Webber when he was in high school.

LOL - gotta love NBA transactions. More convoluted than a Russian spy novel.

The Pistons got Duren. They got Kemba Walker? They're still talking to the Knicks about Ivey. What in the world is going on? This is wild.

[Shinzaki]

Duren and Sharpe was my swing for the fences draft...Duren and Ivey will do...if Icey's shot continues to develop

[TP_Fan]

Wow.  Weaver did it. Only took on one year of Kemba walkers contract to get Duren.

Doesn't the ball just go in the hoop out of fear when your players are athletic? No?

Woj said we sent the 1st we got for Grant for Duren and Walker. Well we had to worry about that pick for all of a day. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I don’t even like basketball and this has me invested. Next I want a six team trade involving multiple front office and coaching personnel, maybe a vendor or two also.

We gave a pick for taking on Walker?  You have to be kidding.

I want to somehow involve a defenseman from Frolunda

Gave up the Milwaukee 1st so essentially, Grant+Walker's salary+some 2nds for Grant, assuming that the Pistons aren't sending anything else out. Makes the Grant trade look a lot better now.

No. Duren was included.

[RandyMarsh]

So we essentially traded Grant for Duren, a 2nd round pick swap and another 2nd rounder. 

[AlaskanTigersFan]

So they moved up from a future late 20 pick to pick 13 for about 14 million (that they HAD to spend anyway)..... I'll take that. 

[Hart]

Duren is extremely young so that's a positive.

You are straight trolling now.

not bad. So now we have a fun team, but like Del says, somebody still has to put the ball in the hoop.

I am excited about Duren but if we are running Duren and Stewart out there together like we used to Drummond/Monroe, I will be pissed.
