It sounds like Donovan Mitchell could be traded by the Utah Jazz and some have mentioned the Detroit Pistons as a destination.
Pistons blew their chance to get Mitchell. That ship has sailed.

It’s opportunity cost. Mitchell now makes too much $. There were reports last year of OKC offering SGA and their 1st (6th pick after lottery) for our 1st overall. The problem is SGA makes like $35 per or whatever. We took Cade and his rookie deal is around $10 per. It wasn’t a terrible offer, but when you take the $35 for SGA and roughly $7 per for the 6th pick, it’s a matter of $42 million vs. $10 million.
Look at Juan Soto in baseball. You have to trade a shitload of cost controlled talent, like Herschel Walker level, and then pay the dude like $500 in an extension. Someone will do it, but not me.

Would you deal Greene/Tork/Mize/Skubal and then another $500 million in an extension for Soto? Only the NY or LA teams will do that. It reminds me of the Mack deal with the Bears. They gave up two cost controlled 1st rounders and more and then had to pay premium $$$ for a Mack extension. It wrecked their team. Well, that and Trubisky. But anyways, that deal was a loss the day they made it in a salary cap era.

NBA whacks Warriors owner with $500,000 fine for calling luxury tax “very unfair”
Posted by Mike Florio on July 21, 2022, 10:11 AM EDT

At a time when the NFL faces a defense from Deshaun Watson that the league tiptoes around the oligarchs who own franchises, the NBA has taken a much different approach to owner discipline.
Via ESPN, the NBA fined Warriors owner Joe Lacob a whopping $500,000 on Wednesday for uttering two words. (Not those two.) He called the league’s luxury tax system “very unfair” during a podcast appearance.
The fine arises from the fact that the comments relate to CBA talks with the NBA Players Association. And, indeed, the NFL has shown a willingness to whack owners who speak out of turn when it comes to the effort to avoid showing any weakness whatsoever to the union.
In 2010, the NFL imposed a six-figure fine on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for comments about revenue sharing in advance of the 2011 lockout.
Still, 12 years later, the NFL has opted to overlook the apparent fact that the Cowboys failed to report a potential Personal Conduct Policy violation in 2015, arising from the cheerleaders voyeurism scandal. Likewise, the NFL seemingly won’t be investigating the situation now, choosing to let it go (and hope the public moves on) in lieu of exploring questions regarding who knew what and when they knew it about the secreting video recording of cheerleaders who were changing clothes, if it indeed happened. (The Cowboys reportedly paid $2.4 million to resolve the situation with the cheerleaders in question.)
How can the NFL reconcile its aggressive pursuit of a full-year suspension of Watson with failing to even flinch at the seven-year-old news that emerged in February regarding misbehavior against women within one of the most popular franchises in the league? It can’t. It can’t, so it hasn’t even tried. It just looked the other way, confident that the fire will go out quickly if The Shield supplies neither fuel nor oxygen to it.
It’s sad, but it’s effective. How much can be written or said about the situation if there are no new developments? And if the league chooses to ignore it completely, the league won’t contribute to the creation of any such developments.
Trickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice. The Lions NEVER get to play the Lions, let alone twice.

I personally like it. The horse is pretty cool. Don’t think it’s a big deal because there’re HUNDREDS of different NBA uniforms in recent years. The trend of NBA teams wearing several different uniform combinations in the regular season.

bro they're terrible. If people want to redo the Pistons uniforms because they're too plain, no problem. Do something fresh and new. There's so much cool shit that you can do with Detroit. The teal were a dumpster fire then and the same now.F#*K OHIO!!!

it was sad watching us waste Grant Hill in those uniforms. They were shit. I wish things in Detroit would have ended differently with him. He was such a cool guy and a great player. It worked out well for Detroit but I was hoping he'd be a superstar in Detroit.F#*K OHIO!!!
