I think Konchar has gotten lost in the shuffle here due do all the young forwards that we need to develop right now. If it was all about putting the best team on the floor every night right now the Konchar is likely a firm rotation player for us. He is a PJ Tucker type of player, plays bigger than his numbers.
Having said that I could see us taking next to nothing for him in a trade right now to clear some of that future tax concerns. With the emergence of Vince and maybe GG too.... then he is likely going to be relegated to a deep rotation role next year still. But a top heavy team like Boston or Phoenix would love to have Konchar is that 7-9th man role.
Thanks to everyone who responded, was honestly wondering.
Wouldn’t mind him for Detroit just to have a guy whose interested in doing the fringe things that help teams improve.
Here's a question. If you were the Pistons GM and you know your job is on the line, how would you best make the changes to help drive the team in the right direction?
Isn’t that the billion dollar question. I would try to the sell the owner on keeping me into the offseason so I can “properly execute my plan”. So trying to aggressively but effectively help the roster mix. <Personally I think Weaver should be fired by the end of the season >
For the time being I would try to add some young castoffs like;
Jordan Nwora- had a good run with the pacers last season, young enough to where he might actually figure it out. While the raptors might not want to keep him.
Aleksej Pokuševsk- had a decent run last season with the Thunder, but it seems like they’d be fine with moving on.
And so on. Not really a perfect plan, but at least they have potential as shooters. And just try to stumble across a diamond in the rough.
I think if you’re trying to save your job now, you’re looking at the likes of Jevon Carter (seems like going to Detroit, it would be easier to be effective again playing on such a flawed team just trying to fix its culture/discipline), Kevin Huerter, or John Collins. Yes, not all the same level but you need guys to help fix this. The problem is you’re eating up your own payroll with guys that aren’t sure fire fixes
