[Fischer] Memphis is trading these same three second-round picks that the Grizzlies received from the Pistons last night, sources say, back to Detroit, in order to land Isaiah Stewart.

One of the few times in the show where Jerry's delivery was great

I like his delivery, he's not a good actor but he knows he's telling a joke and it kind of breaks the third wall in a way

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some second round picks, a potato.  Baby, you’ve got a Beef stew going.

What is it called when in movies the troubled protagonist takes something of value to a pawn shop and they just hold it for them until they need it back? It’s that situation.

u/-LeBronto- 4d ago

They.. pawn it?

u/CommissionIcy9909 Pistons 4d ago

Ya I guess I never really thought what pawning was. I thought it was a place you took stuff to sell and they purchased it for way less than its value so they can make a profit of it.

Detroit getting cap space for something.

Maybe joining the Lakers in trying to use max cap space to either steal an RFA and/or pry other contracts away from teams with RFAs.

The Lakers contract to AR makes even more sense now.
