As a fortnite fan, at least I’m allowed to say the Fortnite guy is a Jazzman
That’s actually a pretty solid return. That wizards pick is going to be like 32 or 33. Knox can’t be worse than Samanic either. Plus this opens up minutes for Hendricks
I remember liking Procida as a late flyer out of the draft, but he hasn’t done much since internationally. Seems like this was essentially just trying to get the 32nd-ish pick for a dude that we just found out of nothing. Will be sad to have no 3s again and have to roll out the 3 guards or 3 PF/C lineups again… 😢
Okay, my first reaction was annoyed for us, but the more I look at this the more I’m also like, low key what are the Pistons doing? A historically bad team giving up future assets for an older rotational level RFA… like what is their best case scenario here? Even if they retain him I still feel like that’s very questionable timeline wise. This feels like a move a contending team shoring up a weakness would make, not a move for a 6-43 team…
I remember when Simone was a deep bench player/garbage time player. Getting anything out of him is a decent return tbf. Now it’s time to develop Yur77even and Samanic I guess
Honestly, not a fan of Knox. Last chance for him.
Every time I have watched him play, it feels like the team he plays on would be better if he didn’t play.
There has to be more trade/signings for us.
Based on my detailed analysis of 2 minutes of Procida highlights he appears to have a nice jump shot and good athleticism.
