Why would Detroit trade the number 1 pick? Isn’t Cade supposed to be a special player?

This Team USA squad is not going to be good enough to give Love enough garbage minutes to increase his trade value.

Yeah, but there's still a lot working against Cleveland. Sexton's not really a franchise cornerstone type, so the list of teams that would be willing to center their offense around him and would also want to pay him in a year is pretty short.

Some contender could maybe trade for him with the idea of turning him into a super sixth man, but the return there is probably going to be worse

He'd make a great Mav via the Porzingis/Allen trade.

Nothing about Lonzo's game makes sense with Lebron. Not a real pg, only a transition passer, can't break down defenses, not a great catch and shoot player, not a great defender. I guess he's a good guard rebounder. The lakers would be better off with Josh Hart than Lonzo

Signing Lonzo is a good move for the Lakers because LaMelo is going to force his way to the Lakers one way or another. This would be an ok short term move and a good long term move to help keep the Ball family happy before LaMelo can make a trade demand or sign a qualifying offer.

Why do people think New Orleans is ready to tank again

imo New Orleans is closer to contending than tanking rn. Especially if expansion happens and they get moved to the East.

He was right.

You know how sometimes people get in the MIP discussion and all that they did was double their minutes, and you're like, "yeah. Of course your stats are better. You're playing twice as often." Well, Grant had his minutes increased and almost doubled his usage. So yeah, of course he looks better than last year on a superficial level. The team is deliberately running the lion's share of their possessions through him, which of course Denver didn't do because it's a bad idea. There's a lot of reasons why the Pistons were bad, but "We believe Jeremi Grant can be the best player on a team" is one of the top three.

Didn't the Pistons have a bunch of injuries?
