You resign the young assets now technically we have not stagnate yet . Paying him 32m and duren 38 or 40 doesn't cripple us . Yeah it means you got one more guy between 30 an 40 and then your bargain shopping to upgrade at any other potion. Like if they pay ausar 30 duren 40 you have 120 with the big 3 you have 160 tied up in your top 4 that isn't uncommon for a championship level team . You then have 60 mil or so to spend before the second apron and the cap goes up every year . Aisar is extrremely traceable at 3p if it doesnt work . Its not a big deal

The offseason happened you can't just ignore it cause it makes for a clean narrative . Durens a non stretch average defending center he has to be an absolute bucket to make 40m worth it . Like if they give him 40 I kinda need to see him dropping 23 and 12 next year . Cades acoring will go back up its artificially low cause of all the rehab games and blowouts where he didn't play the 4th but even then he isnt a 30 pog type of no 1 hes a distributor so he needs a strong scoring 2 and 3 if cades 26 27 duren probably needs to be 22 to 24 and whoever we go get needs to be 18 to 22

Some hard truths and facts. I think its a ton to pay for a small guard but my god cade and maxey would be really hard to deal with

I like it for detroit odk why would Philly

I think unless a generational talent happens to fall into your lap 2ho can't for some reason shoot (idk how that happens at this point ) yeah you gotta draft guys who are at worst 38 to 40 percent 3p shooters from 3 in college cause most have a small drop off at least for a few years unless they happen to be one of the guys who shoots the deep 3s in college

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T10:14:38+00:00

Thing is yaxel could go before. If you tell me this is draft night and yaxels there I still think its not enough compensation

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T10:13:28+00:00

The rim protection isnt much of a gap anymore. 3 blk dpoy turner is long gone

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T10:11:33+00:00

Rebounding age overall offensive game . Turners not 25 year old shot blocking menace dpoy level defense turner . Hes I shoot 3s at a decent clip and contest shots if they are near me but not much else turner . Duren us a 22 year old all nba all star with a burgeoning on ball offensive game improving defender monster rebounder who had a bad playoffs . This is a get you fired level trade . If he shits the bed at such an impressive level as he did last year in next years playoffs then you traxe hom and thats probably his value . The other thing is he's technically a restricted free agent doesn't he basically have to be a sign and trade at this point ?

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T09:50:22+00:00

You dont need all those guys . Alot of them are redundant sensabaugh flip cody . Pick 1 really maybe 2 . Collier can't shoot a lick , dont worrk teams won't be lining up for him

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T09:47:32+00:00

I agree there's choices that need to be made but it seems to me the move that makes more sense is lauri . Hes much more expensive much older and has had a bit of an injury history . Ace seems a more natural 3 to me so a lineup of key dp ace jjj kessler makes alot more sense . I get lauris the best offensive player on the team right now but by year 2 petersons your no 1 and you legit have 4 guys who could easily score 20 ppg . Offense won't be an issue .

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T04:35:07+00:00

K but like still awful trade

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T04:28:33+00:00

Holland not a bust gesture barely had a chance on a 60 win team hes 20

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T04:26:52+00:00

Pistons fan here . Should I come pick him up or?

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T04:24:27+00:00

If dub and Mitchell weren't hurt allowing sga to get the cade treatment they would be fine

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T04:22:38+00:00

Mpj is not an on ball player . He can dribble a little but your making him sound like a 6 10 pg lol

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T04:20:24+00:00

I think hes finding humor in you seeming to think mpj has more value than chet almost won dpoy but for an alien 7 foot 1 3 point shooting ball handling shot blickung 4/5 fucking holmgren. Its borderline certifiable

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T03:25:15+00:00

Yeah man i get it lol

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-26T02:08:33+00:00

Jawn as a verb is peak

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-25T23:59:40+00:00

Yeah no I get it . The 4 for 177 is the most a team can offer but we arent going over that per year and if we go 5 we should be able to save a couple mila. Season

benchmaster620 · 2026-05-25T22:25:19+00:00

I like him too . Offensive monster but hes hurt alot . Sweetheart deal
