    Similar deal here. Utah really made out getting 2 seconds...


    Sixers deal KJ Martin to Pistons in cost-saving move

    [​IMG]Detroit Pistons get:

    F KJ Martin
    2027 second-round pick (via Milwaukee)
    2031 second-round pick (via Dallas)

    [​IMG]Philadelphia 76ers get:

    Cash considerations

    Detroit Pistons: C+

    The Pistons entered the deadline in the unique position of having cap space -- about $14 million, prior to this trade. Taking Martin's contract into their space still leaves Detroit around $6 million to use, but this return is a little disappointing given that context.

    After all, the Utah Jazz got a pair of second-round picks on Saturday for taking back the much smaller salary of guard Jalen Hood-Schifino ($3.9 million) to facilitate the three-team trade featuring Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis.

    If all goes as planned, this is one move leading to the next.

    Addition due to subtraction to fit needs.

    This 4 game slide is telling...

    Morning Coffee w/Kratom update: there is a small rekindling with Philly.

    Ear mentioned a small convo with New Orleans about Missi and old friend Theiss.

    Just a tidbit for some center bolster support.

    Wasn't Theis just traded elsewhere?

    Yves Missi.

    Rekindle with Philly? I’d love to have EG’s shooting off the bench.

    After selling Theiss off to OKC that leaves Missi as their only viable center left.... are we swapping Adam's expiring for Missi perhaps?

    just like Kawhi’s uncle told teams he wouldn’t sign and extension if it wasn’t LA. Do you not remember?

    Kawhi got LA. The market wasn’t restricted to the Lakers. And there are numerous other examples of players using their leverage to restrict the market.

    Jaden Springer is precisly 1/2 of an NBA player :)

    If he only is a D substitution at the end of game/quarters, there is a spot at the end of the bench for that.

    if I passed away and saw in the afterlife that EG was now on the team, I’d resurrect from the dead just to hate

    Well, that's to be expected. He wasn't happy here before.

    So KJ Martin got traded again?

    Is he finally going to get the chance he “deserved” on the Pistons? @KenyonMartin
