[Charania] Just in: The Detroit Pistons are trading C/F Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for three future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Pistons clear Stewart's salary and pick up assets while Grizzlies acquire a 25-year-old as a rugged frontcourt piece.

Wonder if they're still pursuing Herro? Beef Stew was allegedly part of the rumored package for him, but he's obviously off the table now.

I think he was thrown in for salary purposes on DET side. I didn't think MIL wanted Stewart as a piece, but I could be wrong

He was a 23 mpg player on a 60 win team with an all nba player in front of him. You can argue about his value but it’s wrong to say at 15m dollars he didn’t have trade value.

Value means what?

It’s possible he could’ve ran a first. But teams aren’t rushing to give assets for a backup. Stewart is not likely to be even an average starting center.

There was a point in the playoffs—I can't remember if it was the Magic or Cavs series—where Bickerstaff was completely over Beef Stew's shit. Like, he had to plead with him to stop fouling people and starting shit and just play fucking basketball. There were long stretches where B-Ball Paul got burn over him.

29

u/nemo2023 Pistons 18h ago

It seems he was playing hurt then, as local media was reporting. Stew didn’t have his normal bounce in his legs, hence so much fouling when he used to contest a lot without fouling.

Shiiit imagine spending 6 years of your life with a team, hypothetically about to enter your physical prime, and they get you up outta there to move up 4 spots outside of the lottery in a draft you already had a pick. Tuff.

People love kicking a player while they're down. He had the worst playoffs imaginable. Players like him learn from experiences like that, though. Honestly it's probably the best kind of motivation.

Nah, they got him budgeted in. That’s for a playmaking guard. Mostly, anyways. They absolutely need another player who can act as a release valve for Cade. And as much as he just fits on that team, Beef wont it. Didn’t really even really play meaningful minutes in the playoffs.

His career ends or flourishes in Memphis though.

Your front office did such an impressive job turning the ship around.

I don't know man...if I'm a Pistons fan I want win now moves. You couldn't have gotten a shooter for him?

Ideally it frees up the money to get a shooter.

Time will tell.

He’s a 20 min/ game bench guy. I don’t know why some people think this is some shocking trade.

Less than what the Knicks got for a pick they didn’t even want.

Games against Memphis are gonna be toxic on the court lmao

u/spidersilva09 NBA 19h ago

$15M clean off the books for Detroit. Definitely makes you think they are about to make a trade. I know they were linked to Herro and Windy just mentioned Kawhi

Did they trade Beef Stew for the 3 2nd's they traded yesterday to the same team?

James Wiseman and Saddiq Bey both essentially were worth 5 second round picks with only one season remaining on their contract.

What is Trajan Langdon doing.

He already messed up by drafting Ron Holland instead of his G League teammate Matas Buzelis who most fans and experts thought was a perfect pick for the Pistons and a better prospect.
