Pistons want extension on trade window to further evaluate D-mo's back

Someone forward the Pistons BTG's expert medical takes.

 

You should provide more context, but yeah this is looking like a repeat of what happened in 1994.

Hm last year for example the Suns waived their right on the trade of Marshall.
If a team trades for a player knowingly injured they have to waive the physicals.

 

Les will be furious if he has to pay the tax now.

 

What if this was all a big troll job from Morey because SVG offered Joel Anthony?!?!

 

If DMO back is that bad that pistons void the trade, I wonder if Dmo will go the way of Bradley beal and only olay a set number of minutes for the rest of his career

 

In reverse though. Sean Elliott, while he had 3-4 more good years, required a kidney transplant.

Again, DMo is not close to being fine. Maybe he can play for a few more stretches, but a reinjury is when, not if.

That first round pick is the best deal they could have gotten for him.

 

If the trade is voided, that means two NBA teams have decided the first round draft pick is more value -- DET and HOU

Why would you want it voided if DET and HOU both think the pick is better?

Thornton provides us with no value that we need in the remaining 26 games. He on a vet min playing for a contract, and he just got traded. He would be a cancer. He already was kinda selfish and one of JBB's "not playing for the right reasons" guys that he called out. Besides, we could resign him this summer if we want and if he still wants to play here. There is nothing worth mentioning regarding Thornton at this point.

This is strictly about DMo vs the Draft Pick.

 

IIRC, there was a trade where a team improved their offer/offered compensation which was accepted after problems with the medical.

 

That's going to be awkward...

Happened with Scola a few years back didn't it?

 

The press conference would be awkward.
"We are.. uhhh... glad to have D-Mo and Marcus back... looking foward to finish the season with them... heh"

 

Deny it

 

I thought that was David Stern's veto

Probably gonna be more awkward for thornton if the trade is voided.

His comments implied he didnt feel it was a good fit here lol.
