    Yes yay. This draft ass is weak and I'd much rather invest in a future draft rather than gambling on a potential bust halfway down the board. Plus, it frees up space to be a shopper in free agency. This trade is solid.

    Plus the ability to use the NT MLE, plus the trade exception. Also in likely a much better draft.

    That would be ideal. Lottery for the next 4 seasons, and then the 11th worst team during that 5th or 6th year...

    Then the trade will be a SCORE.

    Not lottery. It is top 16 protected for the first four years.

    But the issue is that Detroit sucks and will likely suck for a long time. So the pick will probably never convey to us until year 8 when it turns into a 2nd rounder.

    They way fans are starting to sound I wouldn't be surprised if a Landry's restaurant got robbed or burned down in the next three days. All that would do is make this team worse though lol.

    I remember when Ryan Anderson being on the team was the worst of our problems.

    The pick is top 16 protected for 4 years!

    Then top 10 protected for another 2 years.

    Top 9 protected for 1 year and turns into second rounders after that.

    The likelihood that the pick is better than the 16th pick is not great and even if it is, it won't be for at least 4 years from now.

    You think Detroit will still be a top 10 worst team in 5-6 years from now?

    Is there a reason why we’re supposed to believe otherwise. They have literally 0 things to look forward to right now

    Lol, it's completely worthless.

    We basically just gave away a #16 pick. If we're lucky, it falls to 17, if we're lucky.

    @BimaThug Just tweeted we got a 12.1 TPE for the RoCo/Ariza trade.

    Not that we’ll use it, but hooray for Tilman!

    Nothing great about it.



    2021: Top 16 protected
    2022: Top 16 protected
    2023: Top 16 protected
    2024: Top 16 protected
    2025: Top 10 protected
    2026: Top 10 protected
    2027: Top 9 protected
    2028: Two 2nd round picks

    $4.6M for the 55th-60th pick/paying Ariza’s salary.



    Why are they covering Ariza’s salary? Why did Bob pay half of Clowney’s salary in Seattle?
