    He never really got enough playing time to really tell what kind of player he could be. When he did get on the court it was mainly during mop up duty. Although, he had decent numbers last year on a per 36 basis (13.6 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 2.5 bpg). However, take all of that with a grain of salt since most of his time was at the end of games.

    Moral of the story: It may be a little too early to tell, but since he couldn't beat out Ajinca (or even sorry *** Asik), then unless he really improves I don't see him being anything more than a borderline backup player.

      If you wanna believe this rumor and that it came from Cleveland, then be my guest. But knowing how this team operates, I'd bet a lot of money that it came from Brooklyn's end mainly because there really aren't any takers for Deron or Joe's contract despite the fact it's an expiring.
      I don't think it matters where it came from, even though Windhorst the Ohio guy was the one to report it (who isn't always exactly Mr. Credible). It may be nothing, but I wouldn't be shocked if BK does it. I'd be more shocked if CLE goes through with it and trades Andy.

      From what I've seen around the internet, Andy's contract is only partially guaranteed in 16-17 and non-guaranteed in 17-18, so it's not like you're taking on a bad 3 year contract. It could actually turn out to be a Brendan Haywood type contract at some point.

          I'd bet that it happens, but only if they are able to sign West.

            It kinda does but that's another discussion in itself.

            Of course we'd love to do it because it means we get his contract off our hands(hence us trying to move him and Deron). You're looking at it from Cleveland's end and not our end, because if you were then you'd see why we don't want Varajeo's contract or why we don't want to take on ANY contract that goes beyond this year.

            And from what I've read from our end, these talks won't advance any further than where they are.

              We just traded for Marcus Morris and it looks like he will be the starting small forward at least for now but I think over time Stanley Johnson will earn the starting job.

              Right now Pistons depth chart looks like this

              Reggie Jackson/Brandon Jennings/Spencer Dinwiddie
              Kentavious Caldwell Pope/Jodie Meeks/Darrun Hilliard/Reggie Bullock
              Marcus Morris/Stanley Johnson/Danny Granger(if not waived)/Cartier Martin(if not waived)
              Ersan Ilyasova/Anthony Tolliver/Quincy Miler
              Andre Drummond/Aron Baynes/ Joel Anthony will also probably be re signed as 3rd center

              Quincy Miller and Reggie Bullock are fighting for roster spots and Danny Granger and Cartier Martin could be waived

                Here's an alternative for you: Cleveland re-signs JR Smith for 1 yr/$10 mil and send him instead of Andy.

                  I don't think CLE is but Andy is Bron's best friend, so unless Bron signs off on it, he'd probably be pretty pissed.

                    Best friend? Didn't he just say not long ago that the only players in the league he considered his real friends were Wade, Paul, and Melo?
