I really don't get why you are doing this to yourself. It's the same story every single time. Outlandish predictions and trade proposals. Followed by reality crashing down on you. Followed by attempts to explain why reality got it wrong.
If you only look at it from OKC's perspective. Sure they need to dump salary. But that isn't changing the quality or the value of the player. Teams can try to use it as leverage in negotiations with OKC but that's not the primary goal for them. Pistons priority is their own roster. They desperately needed shooting. Joe was one of the best options on the market. It's not just OKC feeling some kind of pressure to get certain things done.
Agreed. I don't understand how most of you guys think Gafford can extract a 1st round pick. Personally, when healthy I think Stewart is the better center, and he only procured 3 2nd's. I think Gafford's value is not high around the league, or he would have been traded by now. Has any teams inquired if he's available? Haven't heard much.
