The trade we could use. The numbers work.
Pistons receive PF and hardened vet: Rui Hachimura Pj Tucker
Lakers Receive shooting: Bogey Alec Burks
Clippers Receive reliable 3nD Guard: Gabe Vincent
(Maybe a few 2nd round picks thrown around to sweeten the deal)
Pistons get a young 25 yr old 4 that isn’t afraid to shoot (3pt% >42%) and I’m sure he wouldn’t mind starting. PJ the former champ, can get waived or stay and help build our defensive culture.
Lakers get legit shooting playmakers with one expiring contract. They need real scorers right now, they’re atrocious to say the least.
Clippers benched bones, Gabe is a solid replacement who can start for them, plays hard D and doesn’t need the ball in his hands, just spot up and shoot.
What ya think?
Gross. Our biggest issue is shooting so you trade our best shooters for guys not known as knockdown shooters
