The Detroit Pistons have discussed a trade with the Orlando Magic that would send point guard Reggie Jackson to the Magic in exchange for a package headlined by D.J. Augustin and Jeff Green, according to league sources. While it’s not yet clear if these talks will progress past the discussion phase, sources told ESPN.com that the Pistons have continued to gauge the market for Jackson in advance of the Feb. 23 trade deadline.

Fool thinks he's better than he is... If you ever watched him play 5 mins for the Pistons you would completely understand this trade...

 

[Day_Carver]

MJ and LBJ tied for the highest season since 85....LBJ MJ and Curry are the only ones to have a season of PER 31 since 85; I would like to see the seasons before that too....

Jackson ain't no PG.
It baffled me when he got paid. This 1 Presti got absolutely right. 1 for 3

 

[REDLINE]

Horrible call on Smart

These refs ain't shit. They bailed Butler out in that bullshit.

Wasn't a foul when you have it in slow motion. But in real time, on the road, it's going to be called. You can't put the ref in that situation, closing seconds.

Smart tried to be cute and toy with his elbow area. On some psych shit. Those elbow fouls or non fouls get called all the time. It was a dumb move.

Like when kids say "don't touch me." And the other kid holds his finger close to his face, "I ain't touching you though." Cost his team the game.

Didn't check this thread yesterday. Smart touched the shooting elbow during Butler's shooting motion, it was a foul.

Man you don't call that whether it was a foul or not. Refs should never be involved in the last play of the game unless the guy gets hammered.

Ish Smith has had the oddest start to his career then anyone to me. Every time you look up he's on a new team. I remember at one point last year he ended up on the 76ers TWICE lol.

Man that shit made no damn sense. I know the back of his trading card looks crazy as hell.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Pistons having a fire sale Mavericks need to get Drummond

Shit man I don't know what we have they'd want. I'd imagine if they got a fire sale they trading for draft picks or youth.

 

[BDR]

Pistons having a fire sale Mavericks need to get Drummond

They ain't getting rid of Drummond lol

 

[dtownsfinest]

They ain't getting rid of Drummond lol

Yeah he's still young enough to where if you rebuild you can do it with him. Tobias, Morris, Jackson, Leur I'm sure are all for sale. Maybe Caldwell Pope too.

Well as sorry as we are I'm sure they'd take our 1st round pick in June and our 1st rounder on 2019 since you can't trade consecutive picks.

We might. IMO, the teams in front of us are better. Its gonna take a 10-13 game winning streak to even talk about that and if they do that fuck them. They need to be sellers and trade some of these vets.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Man y'all gonna make the playoffs
