Detroit Pistons thread: Oh look, another Knicks playoff flop

I was disappointed we didn't give him a shot against the Knicks when Beasley and Hardaway couldn't hit the ocean for most of that series. Sasser had a better chance of guarding Brunson than either of them, too. Bickerstaff not giving either Sasser or Fontecchio a look in that series while we were shooting 20% from 3 was frustrating.

 

he certainly could have played when McBride was on the court

 

Sounds now like it may be Monk, and the delay is Sac trying to make it a 3 team to bring in Kuminga

 

I don't like dealing with the Kings because it's confusing.

Trading for Monk after adding LeVert and Robinson makes no sense to me unless there's an Ivey or Holland trade behind it. There's not enough minutes for all of them. They're a weird fit together now. And Monk very clearly has little to no trade value at this stage if we're taking this long to decide if we would prefer him or nothing.

 

So confused about this whole sign and trade thing but apparently it needs to be completed by tomorrow and apparently we getting no one again?

 

I've gone back and forth on the Monk stuff a lot. I think he would be really good Ivey insurance and I don't think he's a bad contract, but that's a lot of scorers on the perimeter and he clearly has little to no value around the league in future trades. Kind of think we're better off just taking the $14M trade exception and seeing what we can get for it later. I am guessing the main reason we've kept the possibility open for this is because we're probably shopping Monk around the league now to see if we could get someone who fits better for that slot.

 

So no sign and trade huh?

tweet saying Schroder to Sacramento was no longer a sign and trade. His agent has announced the deal. Apparently the guy deleted it because it's not confirmed yet.

 

Nice work Langdon

Yep. It’s official. Worst GM in Detroit Sports

1. Holmes
2. Harris
3. Yzerman
4. Langdon

 

Same guys on x who always hyped up Weaver and cap space will now tell you that you don't understand ball because "trade exception"

 

No Ku. The main objective was to improve off last season and win a playoff series. We are now worse than last year, and won’t make the playoffs

 

Ku is the type of guy who will post that, but when they start 5-9 will do a video tearing apart management for not making any moves.

And then wonder why he doesn't get a real journalist job

 

that seems like reasonable reaction though to a 5-9 start.

 

Just clicked the profile, yes ku still has me blocked

 

I recognize 2.5 of those names!

 

I was about to say that is the most informed and researched thing I've seen from him, then saw in the first comment someone gave him those stats

 

That's why I trusted it could be true

 

right there with you. Clitman, Holland, and Chaz are only ones i recognize.

 

$19M out of the $48M guaranteed

 

Sounds like we did get that trade exception for Schroder.

 

That history tells us most likely will amount to nothing

 

Now we can sign Bradley Beal!

 

Probably won't amount to much, but I would bet we do something with it between now and the deadline. Probably won't amount to much, but even if it's just taking a salary dump from a team getting out of the tax or under an apron in January gets us that pick back (and probably more). Wouldn't have been a huge deal if it didn't happen, but it's still better to have than not.

 

Tolu Smith from last year’s summer league, too, but beyond those I’m clueless

 

Seems like we found out about Beasley on either Friday or Saturday.
