Detroit is finalizing a trade to send C Mason Plumlee and the No. 37 pick to Charlotte for the No. 57 pick, sources tell ESPN.
Feels like Detroit could've gotten value for Plumlee.
This borderline infuriates me, Plumlee is such a good role player and his high-post playmaking would have been so good alongside the Jays. And of course, once more, the Celtics stand idly by and watch good role players get picked up on the cheap, doing nothing.
Both Horford and Timelord are better passers with high quality playmaking in their repertoire. There was no need for Plumlee once Horford was back on the team. Heck, if Al and Robert are healthy, the combo should put up 20-22 points, 15-17 rebounds and 5-6 assists per game from the center position for the team. They are both much better fits on this team than the big, but very immobile Plumlee.
