I think it's 50-50 in my book. They'd get more value if they waited a year (they should improve). At the same time you'll have the 8 players I mentioned and 2 more draft picks in the mix. How many guys can you get PT for?

Nice breakdown. Thanks, Chris.
I can see a chance of us getting it for the reasons Chris stated. That's a lot of youth on one team.
Another senario is some of their youth growing like Al has and they trade a pick (or a couple young players) for a vet or two. That would probably push our pick to next year. It's too hard to tell right now.
Trade the 1st rounder for a proven talent... our projects list is long enough.
Apply the rookie contract towards staying under the lux and snag a better SF that Hayes with the MLE.
If we can't land a decent big in this draft then fuck it.
Who are we going to trade for?Quote:

Rondo
Farmar
Jack
Nelson
Dixon
None of those are all stars, but they are definately better than you'll get in a trade. Parker was drafted in the late first/early 2nd too.
Right now I like Artie McShoester out of Ireland. He's a big man who can play all five positions on the floor, shoot the ball from anywhere on the court and he also has a sharp basketball IQ.
Sir Douche Baggins from Habberdashery U. has mad game as well.
Habberdashery U is playing Belfast U (Artie's school) pretty soon. I think the Pistons should send some scouts over there.
