Wait...what?!?!?
Reggie Jackson for Etwaun Moore and Ajinca? Wow! Pistons trying to give Reggie Jax away.
Yes they are. But I think it'd be a worse deal for the Pelicans. It'd lock their team that no one shows up for into the luxury tax next year if they retain Cousins with the max. They'd be so far over that even successfully dumping Asik might not be enough.
And $16-18 mil a year is a lot to pay for Jrue Holiday's backup isn't it? Unless they're planning on playing Holiday and Jackson together. They don't really have a starting SG.
I'd assume they'd play them together, creating a backcourt that would chase AD away.
And then Detroit can trade Drummond for him? That Van Gundy is one sly fox.
