    Amen Thompson looks amazing do we go after his brother, too?

    Detroit has Ausar. Silas is over there, too. If Silas truly values Porter (same position as Ausar) as much as witnessed over the past few years. Maybe there is something we can put together that reunites their friendship. We can take back a bad contract and/or add one of our younger players. We have a lot of Silas’s coached seeds on our team. They have higher value in Detroit because of the Silas connection.

    spit balling…

    Ideally
    Porter & Whitmore
    For
    Ausar & young 3 & D any spot or rotation worthy back up 5

    (with the signing of Brooks (our bad contract) and drafting of Whitmore) worst case but still a yes, maybe…

    Porter and Eason
    For
    Ausar and bad contract.

    please make a random trades tread for this new season.

    Why would Detroit trade their top 5 pick before the season even starts? I don't think that's even possible.

    Also your trade makes zero sense from Detroit. We also cant take bad contracts we are capped out already.

    Detroit has zero motivation to make that deal. If they wanted Whitmore, they would have drafted him. KPJ doesn't have enough value to make up the difference. Eason seems more realistic, but I still don't see Detroit biting.

    This is a nice idea, but there's almost zero chance this deal happens, and certainly not right after the draft.

    It’s fun to think about, but it would never happen. I’m just happy we landed one twin.

    The problem with this idea is that Silas is not Detroit's head coach and they have a functional GM who doesn't have a frat bro attached to their hip.

    I'd trade Cam Whitmore and all the SRPs we own until 2050 for Ausar Thompson.

    My first thought was Green not Porter thus the title of the tread. I think that was a bit much though. With Porter starting this year.

    Green for Ausar straight up. Green can easily be replaced by KPJ or Cam

    This was my first thought but didn’t have the courage… I hope my discretion is appreciated

    It's amazing how much people hate Green for no reason.
