Doesn't look good but that's a knee jerk reaction.

Jackson played in just 40 games this season. Doubt he does that next season.

Drummond is a very good player and they have a pretty good trio in BG/Jackson/Drummond.

James leaves the Cavs to go somewhere and they are in rebuild mode. The PIstons could very well be the team that replaces them in the postseason next year if they stay healthy.

Questionable at the time it happened and not looking good now. We'll see how Blake/Drummond do with a full season together, could be a lot better. That contract still looks bad though.

The contract is nothing from a business standpoint. They have to sell tickets and BG will help dp that. I love Harris as a player but he doesn't have the marketability or personality to do what BG can as far as selling tickets and being the face of the franchise.

If Jackson can stay healthy, that's huge. Ish Smith started 35 games and he's a backup, not a starting PG in the NBA.

I'm not making that move just to sell tickets. When you make a move like that, you better plan on playing in May for the next few years at least

It was a part of the move but not the sole reason.

Healthy, BG/Drummond/Jackson is a pretty good trio.

And so what if they do?

They aren't going to do anything once they get there. Can't win without dynamic guard play in 2018.

Healthy, BG/Drummond/Jackson is a pretty good trio.

They have a unbalanced roster with Blake, Drummond, Stanley Johnson....

None of those guys can shoot well enough to spread the floor and Kennard isn't ready to be a starter.

They have no money nor a draft pick to improve and its time to pay Reggie Bullock.

You cant win if Reggie Jackson is your best shooter.

They have to be praying that pick doesn't convey to the Clippers.

If they could get a Doncic, Porter or a 3 and D wing like Mikal Bridges, that would help tremendously.
