    Pistons trade Kennard for 19

    Detroits playoff odds decrease.

    The only reason I'm watching this draft is to see if MY name is callled. That's how bad it sucks.

    "Jay, what can you tell me about ROXTXIA?"

    "Well, he's a little older than your average drafted player. He has tight hammies and once pulled his groin muscle. But he will gladly demonstrate skills he learned by watching Kevin McHale. Clap clap clap, play harder."

    right.

    ****ing insane. Kennard makes like $2.5 million. I’m not a cap expert but just do Ariza + 16 for Kennard and you’d have Kennard and the cap savings you’d need right to “sell” this bs “puts in a better MLE position” crap.

    So they traded Covington for 2 future first-round picks and no Ariza. Sure sounds like Harden will be traded for about 5 players. what a sorry, cheap ass owner.

    Look at what OKC did tonight, they absorb bad contract in exchange for draft picks. We on the other hand give away picks for salary dump, what a joke.

    So when it’s all said and done we essentially traded Capela for 1 first round pick. Damn this is a depressing time to be a Rockets fan.

    nothing tells your superstar that you’re committed to winning and there’s a championship future here like trading Covington, your 2nd best player in the playoffs and 1 of the league’s best 3&D guys, for trash draft picks

    all Rockets gear and paraphernalia is going into hiatus...I can’t be caught rocking Rockets gear in public because that’s an immediate clowning
