    Eric Gordon KJ Martin 17 and 26 pick for Nerlens Noel Cam Reddish and 11th pick

    Take Tari Eason with the 11th pick

    KPJ/Green/Reddish/Paolo/Sengun
    Nix/JayGup/Eason/Tate/Noel off the bench

    You act like we're going to get a better player then Bridges in the draft... not likely...

    I like the cap space, but there's no one worth paying in a year...

    Pistons fans had been talking about “Jerami Grant for Portland’s 7th overall pick” for months on Reddit and RealGM

    LOL

    Bro, you want to give up next years 1st unprotected for bridges.

    Theres a real shot its top 3 again and most likely a lock for top 7. Id rather not, and hope to land 1 for Victor

    Well, the problem is Miles Bridges is not on the Suns.

    I love this post on the Pistons board

    Just thinking out loud here but what if it is a precursor to

    Olynyk/5 for Wall/3

    We eat alot of space up but get Banchero/Smith/Ivey(not a Chet fan)

    Houston saves over 30 mil and can still get a guy at 5

    Worst record has 15% chance at victor.

    Give me so me suggestions who other than victor is going to be better than Bridges?

    I understand your all tank mentality. I'm just not a Kings or Wolves fan that wants to tank for decades...

    Kings and Wolves don’t even tank…they just sign guys like Bridges and still end up sucking

    Scoot Henderson is right there with him.

    Lots of potential for other guys in the top 5 also like anthony black.

    Not wanting to tank is admirable, but its poorly mismanaged to trade a potential elite franchise altering asset for just a good player when your not close to being ready to compete.

    Great trade for Detroit by far. They’re about add a great talent next to Cade, along with opening up the highest cap space in the league. They’re in a must better position as of now. They can see who they draft and go from there

    A 2025 pick? Why not a pick this season? Why not #7?

    They are as delusional as we are!

    Except not - Tilly is probably like "wait, $30mill?"

    Sorry for typo, meant Mikal, was looking at free agent earlier noting there's no one this year or next that makes sense for us...

    Thank you for pointing out the obvious typo. Congratulations on your astute observation skills.

    Obviously grant isn’t getting you that. This was all about opening up the books and seeing who the two foundational pieces are about to be

    also moved up from 46 to 36 on tomorrows draft.

    Portland was and is never going to trade the 7th.
