But I agree it is redundant to have both Tobias and Morris. Whenever I try running with that squad on 2K, I HATE those two playing together

VERY TRUE.
I agree. But 7th or 8th seed every year in the East is tweener man. I would rather be in the lottery.
You made some good points though. Repped.

Detroit's payroll is at 115 mil, third in the league.
Josh Smith comes off the books this offseason but he's being replaced by the KCP extension, so they'll still be pushing 120 mil.
I understand what DC is saying, but I think it applies more to a team like the Clippers or Grizzlies. Teams that have actually advanced in the playoffs & been on the verge of the conference finals.
Detroit has the #3 payroll in basketball and is (barely) an 8th seeded team full of players that haven't shown that they're capable of taking the Leap. Not a single franchise player in sight. They're likely to get swept by the Cavs with or without Love & JR. They need to unload some guys.

This is what I was trying to get at.
I agree with DC to his points.
But we have either been the low seed in the playoffs or not in it at all for the past 7 years. At least teams like Clips and Grizz get there and advance.
Unload some guys is right, we have no "Franchise centerpiece" despite what they think. Drummond is not that guy man, and Pope making 100 million this offseason I scoff at but it probably has to get done.
Reggie, Pope, Drummond that's most the salary right there! I guess in regards to blowing it up I meant, major moves needed. A PG who can create and Tobias or Morris get traded for a SF. Then tighten up the rest from there.

The Piston's problem is they bet on Drummond and Jackson being Franchise/cornerstone players n it aint working out...they can continue in mediocrity or bottom out and try again, no players they bring in will make a real difference with those being the focus of the team
I remember when Drummond was suppose to be better than Dwight

Will Bynum has played 10 NBA games in the past 3 years. He's EASY to disregard. Even in comparison to Trey Burke, who sucks.
Don't sit there and try to make this argument. It's pointless.

I remember Will's random scoring spree, it was pretty fun
Seriously though, what about the boy Yogi, speaking of random point guard sprees

Pistons have tested the trade market on Andre Drummond. Woah
Pistons also testing market for Reggie Jackson, via ESPN. The Wolves, Magic and Pelicans are all potential trade partners.

Can a player be traded twice within weeks?
I will take T.Ross for Reggie.
But really, might as well take Rubio for Reggie at this point. We have enough people trying to score.

Damn and the Lakers still worse than the Magic 2 years later
Magic tanking so your squad losing the pick too
It's been like 5 years since they traded their franchise guy
. I wouldn't be excited about still tanking if I was a magic fan. 2 years ago the only prospect we had was Randle and he was out for the year. Yall are supposed to be way better than us at this point

Guess the Sixers thought everybody was stupid...they been trying trade Oak and Nerlens since last summer, they have NO LEVERAGE and everybody in the league knows this...im sure even the worst GM's been throwing crazy lowball offers and doing **** on their own time when Philly calls about one of those players
I remember back round draft time when the fans were so pressed to trade everybody i said dont be surprised to have all the draft picks on the roster by the trade deadline

They had 1 great player in Shaq. And would have won a ship with him had he stayed longer.
