Disagree with the take on face value. But damn it shit ain’t right and it isn’t heading the right direction.

Duren’s reputation implosion in less than a year has to be studied. He went from mogging the league on the cover of Slam to probably being the most mocked and booed player in the league. And there is no BeefStew to have his back against the trash talk he will get next year.

Wild idea i know.

This is a decent trade idea.

How about this

I don’t have either. I just saw on here

Okay is this worth it. Would Bulls do it?

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
I think this is a pretty fair trade as it gets Denver some pretty good return

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
Okay is this a terrible plan or am I cooking?

A dream S&T option. but unlikely.

Something like this idk. Don’t love it but could be possible

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
I have no idea what picks would need to be included. But this interests me. Either one.

What did people think of Cade’s shoes? I was expecting it to look similar to the Nike Air Zoom GT Cut that he prefers It is cool, but is it as fresh as the Anthony Edwards or wild as Melo shoe or unique as Converse Shai or wearable as Nike Book Idk. What do you all think?

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
Something like this I imagine This would be good

If the Grizzlies really blowing up. Let’s do this

I am still worried about the need for playmakers for Pistons. But I think this is a good deal
020
Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/01/2026
I don’t know what picks would take to get this done. But this is interesting to say the least

No… why would anyone think this is a good idea for either team.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
Simple and easy

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
This would be a home run trade. It won't help hugely in 3 point shooting. But this backcourt would be HUGE with Cade and RJ.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
Yes Klay is washed. But Max Christie is young and good. Only reason Mavs do it to get off contract. Klay could simply just be waived in offseason if he doesn’t do well. But he will probably be better in a Cade system.

If this will better entice Dallas, I would say this might be a plan B

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
I know RJ gets a bad rap, but curious what people think of this. And I can see where Pistons don’t even need to give up a first.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
I think this is interesting deal the Hawks and Pacers could consider

I have a disdain for Ben Johnson—and it isn’t just because he is coach of the Bears. He comes off like a TRT rage-fueled, forty something douche. His arc is basically Nate from Ted Lasso.

3 way trade where Pistons get involved with Ja swap

Who says no?

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
Here is how I do it. Okay Demar may not be able to shoot. But can he score and play make? Absolutely

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 02/01/2026
Interesting move idea

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 02/01/2026
I think Pistons would be wise to do this trade. Gets them a much needed scorer and vet…. I don’t like having to give up as many picks though…

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
I don’t know about the right passing of picks. But maybe… idk.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Imagine how disgustingly nuts this trade would be. The lobs would be game breaking. Defense probably tricky as hell PG Trae / Levert sG Cade / Holland sf: Ausar / Robinson PF: Stew / Marshall c: Duren / Reed

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Okay hear me out. KP obviously bought out by Pels. But imagine though!

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
I did this version of a trade b/c I am unsure why the Mavs would want Simons—especially if it means putting him next to Kyrie (seems silly and poor fit) If Celtics want to trade Simons, they can do it in another possible move.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
I really like this. Imagine doing this. But the Pistons also get CJ McCollum off of a buy out.
000
Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Okay easy trade (IMO). Gets Celtics under 1st apron.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Okay… but how about this….

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Am I on something here?

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 28/12/2025
Okay listen to me

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 27/12/2025
Pistons would surely need a back up veteran playmaker, and they still have the 14.1 TPE to do that. But this trade works if you see a world of Vuc as backup 5 and put more minutes of Stew and Duren together.

I know Derozan doesn’t stretch the floor. But he is a hooper that is durable.

As a Pistons fan, damn this will make Hawks a contender.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 23/12/2025
So I think this is a good trade. Provided Grimes doesn’t veto the trade and if Kelly Oubre is healthy (based on his injury, idk) For Sixers, Sochan is a good piece and helps their tax, but idk.

Thoughts?

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Perhaps this is more realistic.
