Their answer Is build a time machine and trade for mark in July

I didn’t see the game, so obviously don’t know the specifics. But, many times when the Pistons have far fewer fouls it is simply style of play and this has been true against the Hornets many times. Cade does not drive hard all the way to the hoop and Ball does.

Yep and how aggressive teams are defensively plays into it. If Charlotte wasn't playing aggressive defense, they're not going to pick up a lot of fouls.

Good article about how the Thunder exploited a big weakness for the Knicks, their bench. 70 bench minutes to 30 for the Knicks is pretty telling.

Knicks' biggest weakness was exposed by late Thunder comeback, and they may only have a month to fix it

It’s been their weakness for years. Starters wear down in the 2H. Cavs did the same to them.
Going through a long brutal season, the playoffs will always be tough for a team with little depth and they play their starters huge minutes. Not all Thibs fault but the problem is he does it with every team

Who wants Jimmy who isn’t a contender? Why would they want him at his age unless they get him at a discount

I feel Denver makes the most sense

And what contender has the cap space and/or would be willing to part with what Miami is likely to demand?

That’s why I think Denver makes sense. I think MPJ is a good fit but are they interested in him…

Denver is a hard trade spot cause someone needs take Nnaji

Jimmy don’t play at elevation, better check with Jimmy

It doesn’t matter at this point. Pat will move him for the best deal

You asked, boy. I answered. Go take a look.

Damn you still angry/pissed off/upset from yesterday? Good. Keep on keepin' on. Yo short bus your ride is here...

Twas but an example. Pistons generally settle for jumpers instead of pushing through contact. Results in a FT disparity.

Let me say it again

27 fouls to 7

Not free throws. Fouls.

And? Detroit doesn’t play a style to draw fowls and reaches a lot on defense, generally speaking. So, it is not unusual to see them on the short side of the free throw count. This does seem a bit extreme, but without having seen the game I can not be too particularly outraged.

I’m more aghast that their top 3 scorers shoot under 80% at the line when they do get fouled.

Lakers don't want Jimmy because Redick was hired on a developing-the-young-talent agenda and he is sticking to that strategy. Right now, it is working. With the emergence of Christie (which made DRuss expendable), Hachimura, Reddish, Western Knecht, Reaves, and Koloko, to name a few, trading for Milton and DFS made sense and all of it is now making no room for people like Jimmy Butler and Brando Ingram.

They don’t want Jimmy because he is a locker room killer and he doesn’t fit what they need.

Best believe though, if there is an opportunity out there to land a difference making player they will do it.
