Detroit Bad Boys Podcast: Stuck In The Suck

We’re only a day and a half away from the 2021 NBA Trade deadline, so you know what that means! Speculative trade conversation time! Matt Way and I (David Fernandez) talk some official trade discussions, including the Sacramento Kings offering up Marvin Bagley for Saddiq Bey. Some trade rumors, including the Pistons “lurking” around Victor Oladipo, as reported by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. And some trades that we straight up made up. In all likelihood these trades won’t go down, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t merit behind their utterance! Some other trade conversations include What it would take for Troy Weaver to trade Jerami Grant Spencer Dinwiddie 2.0 Whether or not it’d make sense for Charlotte and Detroit to make a swap Some under the radar guys we’d like Detroit to target And as always, make sure to subscribe to the Detroit Bad Boys podcast, where you’ll find new episodes of Inside The Cylinder.
