I figure they'll join the trend and run more two PG lineups with both him and Ish on the floor since they're pretty thin on the wings right now.
Yeah they really need Kennard or Johnson to take a huge step up next year, but for the first time in a decade I'm kinda interested in Pistons basketball. People shit on that pick because he's not Donovan Mitchell, but Kennard looks like he's going to be really good too. And the rumors keep going around that they're trying to trade Johnson but I'm not sure why they'd do that when he'd finally showing some promise and he's basically the only 3 on their roster right now.
Of course, this could all go off the rails if/when Blake gets hurt again but they're playing some really nice ball.

A lot of other teams missed on Donovan Mitchell as well, it's funny that the Pistons are the ones that keep taking heat for it.

I think it's just because they picked a guard. I've also heard Charlotte get some heat for the Monk pick. Most of the other guys picked in the lottery have either looked really good or were bigs/forwards picked for a team that already had their guard situation figured out (not that there's ever really an excuse to pick based on positional need over the best available prospect).
One of those teams is Portland. And Portland, of all organizations, should know not to pick based on positional need over talent.

What are the lakers doing they're going to sign Lebron and Paul George and then they'll only be 4 more pieces away from being able to compete with Golden State

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn Three impactful details on trade for Lakers: They'll have space for two max contract slots in 2018 or 2019, replenish first-round pick in 2018 Draft and gets Lakers some shooting for rest of season with Thomas and Frye.

Cavs will definitely be better without Thomas on their roster at this point

It's going to be really fun when LeBron attacks Lavar Ball during a game next season.

Maybe the most takes I've ever seen over a trade involving no currently great player The wild thing is more what Cleveland expects to accomplish. Clarkson and Nance are fine, but they're not pieces toward a championship roster. Weird to see Cleveland make this move.

Clarkson and Nance are fine, but they're not pieces toward a championship roster. Weird to see Cleveland make this move. It's the assumption that Lebron stays with the Cavs. They are both young, fine with the opportunity of getting better and are not expensive. Won't take away from Lebron and could theoretically help. IT was never going to play on this Cavs team and Channing Frye and the 29th pick in the draft are both fine things to have but nobody is going to miss either. The Lakers get to give Kuzma more minutes now and have even more money to get whoever after this season if they don't resign IT which I doubt they will. it's a crazy trade but definitely more for its implications next year than now and there isn't really a clear loser until we know that Lebron is gone at the end of the season

Pistons traded Willie Reed to Chicago for Jameer Nelson

kinda. Chicago waved Reid obviously. Just some weird contract mumbo jumbo where you cant outright waive unless you do it right away or something so expect the asme thing to happen with tony allen soon too
