They gave up one 1st round pick for him, and then got to use him to get Kawhi Leonard. Seems like it worked out well for them.
yes it did. And the pick they gave up we squandered. Ingram played well for them (or well enough) and they made the playoffs with him with an otherwise average roster

the pels did not

This is my plan A if all things came together. I'd give MIL '30 too if it gets it done.

MIL: Hawk/ Poole/ Sheppard/ '27 IND/ '28 Pels/ '29 IND
IND: Herb
Pels: Herro/ M Turner/ J Walker

Murray/ Fears
Herro/ Bey/ McGowens
Trey/ J Walker/ Peavy
Zion/ Queen/ Karlo
Turner/ Missi/ DJ

Crazy as it sounds I'd rather Kuzma than Herro

Trey SG and Kuzma SF? Kuzma would be cheaper but Herro fits the timeline better and is probably the best fit. Kuzma is also 30 y/o, I like the idea of trading Z, Murray, etcc and still having a whole core for a rebuild if it doesn't work out.

Fears
Herro
Trey/ Bey
Queen
Missi

Kuzma also plays defense. Both he and Herro are on expiring deals.

Kuzma gives more length as well. You'd have 3 guys in Trey, Bey, and Kuzma that can play 2-4 and can shoot.

Kuzma has been very, very bad. I don’t want anything to do with him. I can’t believe anyone else does.

Wow. That's a massive overpay.

Duren must be choosing Sacramento.

Detroit has said they will match any offer as of yesterday

So someone will have to give up a lot in a trade to get him if they want him

Y’all keep saying that but Kessler is an absolute game changer. Hes the best human rim protecter on the planet in my opinion.

If the pistons are actually serious about getting Trey Murphy hopefully this Kessler trade improves the offer from the pistons. Market is favorable for us rn

Sabonis for Duren would be the play.

Apparently Duren was supposed to meet with Lakers again today since they told him yesterday they view him as a max level player.

I bet he’s not very happy this morning

Kessler has been injury prone. We'll see if he can stay healthy playing bigger minutes.

he’s good but how will he be come playoff time? Can he play big minutes? Plus he was hurt all last year as his total games each year continues to trend downward. I’d pay him. But that’s a hefty price pick wise.

Isnt Ayton with the Lakeshow and didn't he opt in for another year?

I assume they will desperately try and move him
