Aaron Gray to Pistons

[sdballer]

Not a huge deal but Gray signed with pistons today.

 

[TyFreak Evans]

Good luck in Detroit, Mr. Gray.

 

[John Galt]

no problem we have plenty of 7 footers

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

i'm happy. he sucked.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

More than a little interesting because they have a logjam up front and are a rumored trading partner.

 

[King Baller]

Good luck in the Motor City Aaron!

As for trade rumors I would be receptive to talks for Drummond, Monroe, Jennings or Smith

 

[kingsboi]

Good riddance.

 

[pshn80]

Thanks, posters for your kind goodbyes to Gray. Seemed like a nice guy to me. Good luck.

Now the only Centers on the team are Cuz and JT. People see JT going someplace else. Does this move indicate we are getting a new center by hook or crook? Suppose so but how will he come? By FA signing? By an S&T involving IT? By a trade to come? We need to keep JT or get another Center.

Good riddance.

Really? Geez, dudes. It's not like we paid a ton of money and he failed to live up to our expectations. I wish him all the luck in the world.

 

[John Galt]

I don't know why anyone would take mean shots at this guy.

 

[Albatros]

Liked his game a lot. Good guy too. Good luck out there.

 

[Agent23]

Good luck and best wishes. Met the guy once and was a real down to earth guy. Hope he becomes a rotational big for them.

 

[The_Jamal]

Good luck to Gray. Certainly in the bottom 5% of NBA talents, but I do appreciate guys like him who know exactly what they're supposed to do when they see the floor.

This world that we live in has way too many haters.

 

[Bricklayer]

That's it, might as well shut this place down now.



But Aaron seemed to be a good guy and was well liked by teammates, so if he can convince one more NBA team to pay him a million dollars for being big, wish him nothing but the best with that.

 

[ParniValjak]

Franchise is unravelling!

Seriously, good luck to the dude. He is a good locker room guy and a genuinely good team mate. One of those guys you have on the roster to bring together the locker room.

Right? No need to be mad at Gray, just because we're short; if I were a foot taller, I'd be making a cool million on some NBA team's bench, too... And, by all accounts, he was a good teammate. Why take shots?

Sim Bhullar we hope. Anyway, good luck to Aaron. Physically limited but smart BB guy. Likeable peeps.

 

[whozit]

Good luck for someone who by all accounts was a good teammate.

 

[Gliesian]

Goodluck Mr. Gray! I enjoyed your screens and effort!

 

[Chicken Chaser]

First Cole Aldrich, now Aaron Gray! (Am I doing this right?)

 

[Variant]

How does this move affect our Vegas odds for winning the NBA Championship this year?

The odds plummeted!

What??? Good guy....ok. His game? What game????

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What??? Good guy....ok. His game? What game????

He set some of the best screens we've seen in a long time. That is a skill that is lost in today's game

He set one that reminded me of Brad Miller. Made me smile.

 

[kingsnation]

What??? Good guy....ok. His game? What game????

He knew his role. Play big, play hard, utilize his fouls and make the guy he was guarding work hard.

Best of luck Aaron!

 

[ParniValjak]

What??? Good guy....ok. His game? What game????

While far far away from being a skilled player, the guy knew his limitations and played within those. He knew how to set great screens and he was the one moving the ball. As Malone would say, he made plays for his teammates!

 

[Albatros]

What??? Good guy....ok. His game? What game????

A perfect end of the bench big who would come in and set screens rebound and defend.

You don't have to be putting up 40 to have "game".

Aaron Gray was our future...
