Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[RasheedsBigWhiteSpot]

If Christie was the 5th overall pick instead of the 35th and if Gafford was as good as Stewart (Killer thinks Stewart is better) and if 30 was 21, you’d be close.  

BTW, the most recent haul for Durant (and Capella) was Brooks (is that similar to Stewart?), Malachi (who only got 11 minutes a game in 4 playoff losses), Green (who people generally feel is overpaid) and some seconds.  Not exactly a kings ransom.

Funny how you characterize and shift goal posts to fit your narrative and strawman arguments. 

The Durant trade was for the 10th pick., not  Maluach as a known, established  NBAi commodity. The fact that the Suns chose Maluach, who underperformed, has nothing to do with the trade.at the time.

Yes, Holland WAS the 5th two plus years ago. So does he just get to keep that pedigree in perpetuity? I mean, Bagley WAS the 2nd pick. Does he keep that badge forever or, at some point, does a player become what he is?

You have to see how disingenuous you're being. You ignore a draft pick when it's traded before it's selected, but then act as if the Pistons would be trading the 5th pick in this trade.

Stop digging. It's a BAD trade.
