Grant helps this team and fits best with the players we have the most. Ivey is the best prospect at 4. I’m a fan of Murray but AJ Griffin is the best fit for need for the kings. If you move Mitchell into a 6th man role then Ivey slots in as the starting two guard. He also gives you the flexibility to move Fox and roll with Mitchell/Ivey going forward. The only concern I'd have is that you'd be trading for Grant on a 1 year deal with Barnes on an expiring deal as well. Murray fits well with your group and so does Griffin but I think AJG might be a little further away from contributing. I think your best route is to just take Ivey at #4 because you can still dangle him as trade bait on draft night.

I don't think either guy would want to sign there though, I'd guess OPJ goes back to GS and Warren goes somewhere he can compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be in the minority but I don’t think Mitchell and Fox should be running as starters together no matter what we do at 4. I’d hope that if we traded for Grant there’s a plan in place to keep him here for 2-4 years. Once Barnes money clears we can use it to keep Grant. If Ivey had shown just a little more consistency with his jumper and from distance he’d be a smash pick at 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivey gives you more size, length, and better perimeter shooting. Yeah you'd have to extend him but is he worth #4 and a sizeable extension? Ivey is a smash at #4 already as it is. He's not a great shooter but he improved his 3P% from 25% to 35% as a sophomore on more attempts per game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averaged 8/6 in the regular season and 5/3 in the playoffs. He's the same player that he has been he was just in a better role with the Warriors. With his injury history I can't see anyone giving him a big deal tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Pistons could also take someone like Justin Lewis, Julian Champagnie, Ron Harper Jr, Johnny Juzang, etc at 46 and see if they can be anything. Not like the Pistons are playing for 2023 anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already made $125M in his career though so I'm not sure money will be the biggest factor for him. Does it really make sense for the Pistons to invest a sizeable deal into him either? He doesn't really fit their timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
