It makes no sense with Drummond there.

Drummond is a role player PF/C right now at this point. And they have the cap space to land a FA big like Josh Smith or Paul Milsap to round out that front court.

Yeah but he flashed to much not to let him continue to progress as a starter.Pistons are not on the verge of anything so why add cap and age to a position of youth?

If he did become good enough to become a starter the trade doesn't stop that. There are 96mins between PF and Center. Detroit wouldn't have any obligation to start Tyson over Drummond if they felt Drummond was better. There would still be enough mins to go around if they did start Tyson over Drummond which would be a better plan anyway. Drummond is raw and needs probably 2-3 more seasons to develop, the same time frame that Tyson would become a free agent.

Perfect trade for both teams given there situations. I don't think Detroit is in love with Monroe, They can go after wings such as Muhammad and Glen Rice Jr with there 2 first rd draft picks as well as throw money at free agents: Oj Mayo, Jr Smith, Josh Smith, David West, Paul Milsap etc. Knicks upgrade and get younger at the Center position, and add in a decent combo guard on contract yr.

I could see the Pistons wanting Chandler but not at the expense of a guy that was arguably an allstar this past season. It doesn't make sense for a rebuilding team, especially when Andrew Drummond is the perfect compliment to him moving forward. Our opportunity to get Monroe should've been in the 2010 draft. David Lee needed to be moved during the season to Golden State and we should've gotten their pick to select him a few months later. Imagine how pretty we'd be sitting right now if we did.

Portland would likely win that trade in the short term. They'd likely make the playoffs in the West.

Chandler
Aldrdige
Batum
Matthews
Lilliard

The Knicks need to be concerned about improving once Amare expires assuming we keep Melo long term. Knicks could use any assets they can get at this point.

Why? Better off keeping the pick.

Not if they are trying to make the playoffs. This is a weak draft filled with probable starters and mostly back ups. Which is good for the late teams and bad for most of the other teams.

Knicks need talent. Bledsoe hasn't demonstrated much play making ability.

But like you said they need talent and it takes some pgs time and opportunity. Also, theoretical that 10th pick and other assets could get some FAs in Sign n trades because of the trade exception the Knicks get from moving Tyson's contract.

I wouldn't put it past Grunwald to pull the trigger on a Shumpert trade to get back multiple pieces that can contribute now.

Chandler and Shumpert
for
Gortat, Beasley, and Dudley

Novak
for
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute

Draft a guard

I still think Gasol is the perfect compliment to Melo and we'd be able to ditch Novak's contract. I think its a win all around.

Lakers can't do this unless they dump some salary. They'd either have to amnesty Kobe or waive their Bird rights to Dwight Howard.
