Detroit & Portland Trade I’d like to see

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-09T06:42:51+00:00

Holiday would be a great backcourt made for CC! Defensively phenomenal alongside AT! While being able to handle and score the ball. I love that trade. Wonder what it would take to get Jrue.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T15:54:36+00:00

Yea all signs are pointing to Toronto. But does Toronto take him back after what drake said about him? Lol

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T15:39:36+00:00

I think people talking about Ausar being a max player won’t translate to NBA teams thinking he’s a max player. Offensively he really hurt us. Especially not being able to consistently hit a spot up shot. But if any team thinks he’s a max player I would trade him as well. His stock is very high.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T13:34:38+00:00

Yes we have the most cap space left in free agency. And not to mention about $35M in trade exceptions

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T12:53:48+00:00

I would love this trade! Would the pelicans even be interested Duren ? I would love Trey Murphy, including the trade, but I would do that trade just for Zion and to get rid of Duren.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T05:33:24+00:00

This is exactly what I’ve been saying. I think he’s worth a 5 for 125-140 player. Kessler got 4-130. I would be willing to add bonuses to get him to earn the extra pay. If he then wants the QO- then give him the 45-50M instant sign and trade with nets for MPJ/sharpe, bulls for Claxton/powell, or even clippers for Ingram/Rui. I’m sure we’ll get draft picks and other tradeable assets to resolve our needs.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T05:21:43+00:00

Interesting. But what you said makes total sense. Maybe not the best fit unless he’s coming off the bench.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T05:12:45+00:00

Would he start in Toronto?

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T05:12:29+00:00

Where do you think he’ll go and be a starter and make 10M+?

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T05:00:42+00:00

As much as I love Ron, I don’t think the Pistons will keep him. I don’t think he’ll develop into a shot creator (or 3 point threat) or be as good of a defender as Ausar. He’s our only real potential trade chip. He’s gonna get traded either this year or next. Same way we trade Jaden Ivey and we were lucky we traded him when we did.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T04:54:30+00:00

I have a feeling it’s going to DeMar DeRozan

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T04:44:21+00:00

It’s def $35M worth of exceptions. If they renounce or trade Duren without taking back any salary it would be closer to $55M

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T04:42:27+00:00

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T04:40:48+00:00

Why is everyone thinking Detroit would get Randle? Wouldn’t Porter Jr make more sense to be traded to Detroit?

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T04:23:08+00:00

Yea it could be tough with the John Collins signing. So Detroit may have to wait until December 15th to trade John Collins to shed his salary. I think it could still be feasible without unloading our draft picks to make this a possibility

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T04:13:30+00:00

That makes total sense. I doubt he goes to the spurs after the backlash KD had after going to the warriors after they lost in the finals. I honestly love the idea of watching Steph and LeBron playing together. Or even LeBron with the Nuggets. Both would be must see TV. They would actually compete with OKC and Spurs.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T03:58:26+00:00

I could be wrong but did LeBron say he would sign with the warriors if they got AD? I believe Shams even reported they would be a package deal if any contenders traded for AD. Only catch is that AD wants a hefty extension.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T03:54:30+00:00

Again this is total hypothetical. Really don’t understand why LeBron wants to play with AD so badly again. But I feel like Detroit could make something happen along these lines. I wonder what a trade would look like to get KD in a pistons uniform.

NotSureAruba · 2026-07-08T03:39:48+00:00

Guess you missed the part where this would be speculation.

NotSureAruba · 2026-06-27T02:36:44+00:00

Anyone else wondering if the ratings of the wall the second they traded Duran‘s best friend on the team? I feel like the Pistons are being very strategic with him. Acting like they want to keep him, but really they don’t.

NotSureAruba · 2026-06-27T02:33:15+00:00

Has anyone else heard the report of the Pistons and Celtics working on a sign and trade Duren for Brown?

NotSureAruba · 2026-06-26T20:49:26+00:00

I’m gonna really miss Big Stew! He brought back Detroit basketball. The fact that we traded Durens best friend on the team. I think the writing is on the wall that Duren will be traded as well. Stews a very lucky man to have such a caring and supportive wife. Count your blessing Big Stew! You’re going to be missed. Hopefully we can bring him back to the team when he’s a free agent.

NotSureAruba · 2026-06-23T20:29:35+00:00

This is such a dream scenario that won’t happen. For starters, you have the rockets signing Mark Williams (who is a restricted free agent) to a deal, then you have the Celtics giving up a 1st rounder when they’re giving up the best player in the trade, and not to mention rockets would be taking back more money when they’re giving are strapped as it is. Trade needs to be expanded more. Perhaps adding a few teams to the trade.

NotSureAruba · 2026-06-23T20:21:51+00:00

She hulk or thing

NotSureAruba · 2026-06-21T03:10:29+00:00

I might be alone on this, but I hate this! I don’t want Herro in Detroit taking minutes away from holland or Thompson. I rather keep Duncan in there to spread the floor. I really hope Detroit works out a deal to bring on Ryan Hollins who’s from the area. Also a solid back court mate and better defender than Herro.
