Pistons called about Luol Deng

4

Can't imagine they were serious contenders for him, but it's interesting they called. Guessing Augustin and Butler were Plan B.

Isaiah Thomas goes to the Suns

... via a sign-and-trade with the Kings, thus closing Detroit's brief interest in bringing Zeke 2.0 to the Pistons.

Greg may block Pistons matching rights?

Kinda disturbing article from MLive's David Mayo about the possibility of Moose taking the QO, getting Monroe the heck out of Dodge with the Pistons receiving nothing in return. THANKS, JOE DUMARS!

Dre's reaction to LeBron's homecoming

I love this guy so much.

LeBron: I'm coming back to Cleveland

I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.

Isaiah visits with the Suns

How is it possible that the Suns already have 2 Point Guards that I would love to see on the Pistons (Dragic and Bledsoe), and 1 more that could potentially be good (Tyler Ennis), and they are thinking about signing IT as a 3rd guard? Something's not right here.

Pistons interested in Anthony Tolliver

We're listed as one of a few interested teams.

KCP in rare company

Well, rare company and Austin Daye.

Espn thinks Monroe likely to change teams

+

Hate the sound of this, hope they're wrong...

5. Which restricted free agent is most likely to change teams?

Thorpe: I get the feeling that Chandler Parsons ...

Ford: Greg Monroe. The Pistons are saying the right things about wanting him back, but everyone knows that it would be better for all parties involved if he moved on. The Pistons want value out of every deal they make, and I'm not sure that will be possible if they try to re-sign Monroe.

Pelton: Isaiah Thomas. The Kings may not even be able to match...

Penn: Greg Monroe. There are very few quality bigs on the market. There are multiple teams with cap space looking for size. If Bosh stays in Miami, they'll look to Greg Monroe. If someone offers him a front-loaded offer sheet, the Pistons will have trouble matching.

Elhassan: Greg Monroe. I've never been sold on how he fits in Detroit, even if the Pistons manage to extricate themselves from Josh Smith. Monroe doesn't have a reliable jumper, and he's not solid defensively. He's better off starting fresh on another team than trying to be a square peg in a round hole for the Pistons.

Karl: Isaiah Thomas and Greg Monroe! Both guys will find a new team that will pay them well and support their continued development. Monroe and Thomas are gettable.

Pistons not shopping Josh Smith?

He continued in a followup tweet: "Pistons surely getting low-balled by teams who see it as a someone's-gotta-go scenario w/ Smith, Andre Drummond & restricted FA Greg Monroe."
