2640522, Really not a bad deal for either franchise imo.

Assuming LA can resign Bradley. I really like Tobias, and he's three years younger than Blake, so him, Bradley, and two picks, one a first rounder, for Blake... is a pretty good haul tbh. Likely the first of multiple moves, all of which will likely look to include picks and/or young talent. Not sure what they could get for DJ considering he's expiring IIRC, but at this point, cut your losses, tank hard, aim for a Top 5/6 pick, and see where you are in terms of young talent next season. Depending on what they think of AB and Tobias, either resign or pocket the money to go after the next big free agent.

Pistons moved a guy they wanted out and a guy who might not've resigned after next season for Blake Griffin who still has a couple good years left to play alongside Drummond with Reggie Jackson running point. Considering the Pistons have Kennard, Johnson, and Ellenson to continue to develop/fill in additional minutes, that's a decent core in the East imo. Still not an ECF team... but maybe if they can ditch Galloway and/or Leuer they can have the money to pursue one more FA?
