THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Kemba is available

Good morning everyone! Woj has blessed us with his good graces and has given word (which sacrifices of wings and craft beer have been made for) that the Charlotte Hornets have made Kemba Walker available. This most likely on the condition that a toxic contract is absorbed as well.

Looking at the math, the best trade I could come up with that would help Charlotte salary wise while not destroying the Pistons' depth was this.

Look...it's not ideal but it helps both teams out dramatically. The Pistons get a true point-guard who has been healthy during his seven-year career along with a power-forward who can space the floor. MJ gets a collection of spare parts that can be turned into $16 million in savings summer of 2018 if Avery Bradley is not resigned and Eric Moreland is cut.

If Jordan is really looking to save there is another option that creates $19 million in space depending on how both organizations value Stanley Johnson by swapping his contract with Anthony Tolliver's.

Finally, the third option I came up with is the minimal trade of Jon Leuer, Reggie Jackson, and Henry Ellenson for Kemba Walker and Marvin Williams. I like this trade the least because I would rather move on from Jon Leuer. However this option might be the best because Detroit is not taking on Batum's contract. It appears rather toxic with Batum already at age 29, three years remaining on it at $22 million/year, plus mediocre three-point shooting too boot.

So Pistons fans, what say you of the news and what trade do you think is most likely?
