And we are back here on the Michigan Insider, Big 1050WTK, online at big 1050.com.

So, the KD trait.

I think it is, it is fairly obvious who won this trade, in my opinion, as the landscape for the east and credit to my guy Ira Wyntrob for pointing this out because I

not being cold and callous not basking in the misfortune.

I'll be cold and callous this time, apparently, Sam. That's fine.

Well, it's not cold and callous of you because you're not a Pistons fan.

I'm just looking at it from a big picture perspective, correct?

You're just looking at it from a big picture perspective and just being an analyst about it saying,

hey, this makes it wide open in the east for the Pistons.

Hey, you look at it.

Jason Tatum, likely out for the season, if not, you know, the majority of the season,

if not the season is a whole.

Same thing for Dame Lillard.

They were, they weren't a championship contender anyway with him.

And then we just saw Tyree's Halliburton go down here in game seven of the final.

So he's out for the majority of the season, if not the entirety of the season.

Those three injuries kicked down the door for the pistons as probably the best

team in the east. If you think like I do, they were better than the next this year. They

just were mature enough to beat it. Okay. So now, the KD trade. In the West, what does that do? Does that

vault them past the NBA champions? On par with the NBA champions, it certainly shakes things

up because the Houston Rockets were very good, but they certainly were not mature enough.

They weren't ready.
