Truthfully I’m very shocked watching this fall off from Duran, hopefully it’s just a matchup issue with the magic but the idea of him getting a max while performing like this is worrying, and so like all fans I overreact and make dumb trades.

This is mostly for the nuggets and Pistons side, truthfully have no idea what the pels are doing but dumars certainly isn’t above making illogical decisions plus Zion and Duran while a mess would be very fun

For the nuggets it’s rough for sure and any big moves seem impossible with no picks but I think you take the risk of trey for the relatively low price and age plus while not too knowledgeable about it I think it helps your cap situation slightly.

But mostly for the pistons this would give Cade two extra side kicks and give him what he needs most, a good shooter and defender in herb and a lob threat and someone else that helps create his own shot in Gordon, there is potential his health would be a issue but it’s hard to judge that stuff. Obviously other moves would have to be made especially at centre as much as I love him I don’t think stew is starting level but as a starting lineup of

Cade Herb Ausar Gordon Stew/ another centre

Seems nasty and would help in the coming years but idk it’s a overreaction and I get it’s probably crazy as we’re probably definitely just going to resign Duran, lmk what you think thanks for listening to my ramblings
