Accepted. I can re-sign Bridges for a cheaper price than Westbrook and he is younger, which is what im going for. And im stockpiling as many picks as I can.

Approve.
I think this makes sense for both sides. Pistons gets to consolidate assets for another fantasy star to add to his already nice looking core. As long as Russ is playing starter minutes in this league he'll be good in fantasy even if he does get a really bad rep in real life.
Kings do great to get a a nice haul. Bridges is only 25 and ceiling is kind of capped in Phoenix I feel like but the potential there is massive. Adding Jalen Mcdaniels plus more picks is only going to help the rebuild.

Approve.
I'm not totally sure what to think of this move. Pistons had 8 available draft picks over the next 2 years, so it makes sense to consolidate a handful of 'em. On the one hand, Westbrook has been one of the best fantasy players in recent memory and probably deserves this type of return. My main worry here is opportunity for Westbrook. Over the last month, his minutes have dwindled from 34-35 to just over 31. I think we see that trend continue over time, assuming he stays in Los Angeles. The re-sign on him could end up looking scary in a few seasons.
It does help Detroit become more competitive next season though which is exciting. Kawhi, Russ, Cade + another top 5 pick could be real interesting.
This is a pretty solid return for the Kings. Russ's fppg is at the lowest point it's been since '11-'12, so if Bagels didn't want to re-sign him, this is probably the best package he could've asked for. Bridges is capped a bit in Phoenix, but hopefully we get to see his offensive game grow a bit in the coming years.

Sorry, just realized I need to clear a roster spot for this move. Drop Serge Ibaka.

Approve. Love this for new GM, Westbrook is going to plummet soon but obviously still puts up stats in the meantime. As much as it looks like the Pistons are dishing out (and Bridges is no small piece), at least the first rounder is a late one so from his point of view it's not like he's losing a lottery pick in this gamble. Pretty well done for both I would say.

Pass, love it for kings but then I've always hated russ, hard for me to be objective about his production. I do think his time as a star in real life is drawing to an end though
