    SVG is such an idiot lol. Gave up so much for what? A name? Blake isn't even an All-star.

    What did they really give up. Bradley is a FA. Harris makes like 16mil. They gave up a 1st rounder. Most likely the 1st rounder will never be as good as griffin. They didn't give up much to get him. Its not like FAs are flocking to Detroit.

    Morey wouldn't even make this trade when we had K-mart and Terrance Williams. The length of that max deal it terrible. Blake is set to make over $35 million for the last two years of that deal and for what? An 6-8 seed team.

    Again, a deal that will leave the owner scratching his head in two years trying to figure out why he's paying three non all-stars over $70 million.

    “The Pistons might not be done making moves. Multiple sources say that they are after Jazz guard Rodney Hood and could send out forward Stanley Johnson.

    Hood is another injury-prone player, but these are the types of calculated risks Van Gundy needs to take to save his job.”

    Most 1st rounders don't amount to be much. BG has made an all nba team 4 times.

    I don't understand the whole either win a ring or tank mentality. Honestly there is no team in the NBA that can beat the warriors should all 29 teams just start tanking. Do you want the rockets do that.
