    lol so it took you this long to actually post that when so many people have pointed out otherwise. But hey I guess your "medical reports" didn't align with it right

    Pistons will enable this trade to go through

    They know that if they had DMo and his awesome boxing out skills, no way Anthony Davis goes for 20 rebounds last night

    Pistons also know that if they had DMo cooking Anthony Davis with his array of low post moves and then stepping out to nail 5 three pointers, no way AD has the energy to score 59 points after trying to keep up with Dmo on the defensive end

    Bottom line, if Dmo was there yday, AD goes for 18/7 and not 59/20. Pistons know it.

    There's an interview with the team chief. I'm looking for the link now. Yeah the sodium because they lose so much water.

    Had to check AD's game log because I couldn't tell if you were being literal or joking. Dude really did get 59 points, wow.

    If the trade doesn't go through, do the Roxs get additional time to find a trade to get below the salary cap?
