The Pistons are looking into Joe Johnson for Jennings + expirings. Gordon is a better player, 7 years younger, and $9m cheaper next season. Gordon for Monroe, Joel Anthony, and Datome (all expiring) works and makes more sense for both teams (though it does make us worse this year).


First, Gordon is not better than Joe Johnson. Has never been and never will be. Sorry. Second, Johnson is 4 inches taller and can play 3 positions. Especially SF, where the Pistons have a big need. Lastly, your trade just doesn't work, need wise or financially. They can trade Jennings cause he is out for the year with an injury, plus he makes over 8M a year. Why would they trade away their best player in Monroe when they can make the playoffs with Johnson, Drummond and Monroe?

Yes he is.

And he's terrible at every one of them. If they're looking for a pure 3 and not a two, then Gordon doesn't make sense, but Johnson is a bad player right now. I figured that they're looking for a 3 point threat. Detroit is 19th in 3pt% and have dropping without Jennings. Singler is the only good deep shooter that they have.

All indications are that Monroe is pissed and is going to leave this offseason.
