Detroit Pistons thread: With the exchange rate that’s a win streak

Moving into a front office job

 

It’s like nobody saw this coming

 

I mean that was a no brainer, but still glad they didn't fuck it up

 

Killian had a nice couple game finish

 

Killebron Haym3s

 

Considering

1. They seem committed to having guys like Burks and Bogdanovic on team next year because they didn't move them at deadline (and they honestly need their shooting)

And

2. They cannot trade any first rd picks beside this year's until I think 2029

This team is going to either going to be making minor moves only in offseason or will be moving Ivey/Cade if they want a big splash and I don't see that happening

Given all of that. One of Wiseman/Bagley is going to have to be moved I think regardless of who we draft, but especially if we take another big.

If we take Scoot especially, the Killian experience needs to end. Roster needs a backup/role guard who can shoot in addition to Burks. It's one of areas they could improve this off-season

With Wemby I could see
Cade/Ivey/Bogdanovic/Wemby/Duren with Burks, Stew, and Wiseman being 6-8 with Killian and possibly a new shooting wing rounding off bench

Without Wemby
Scoot-Ivey-Cade-Bogdanovic-Duren (or Miller and scoot Ivey and Cade down a position). Bench looks similar but I think they rotate Scoot/Ivey/Cade minutes with bench unit so they'd want to replace Killian with another shooter.

 

Also who can we even get this offseason with cap space? They are totally bringing Grant back aren't they

 

What if we drop to 5 and get no Wemby or Scoot?

 

Team will most likely be awful again (not that they'll necessarily be great with either). I wonder if they'd do a drastic trade at that point using Ivey or Duren or if they'd just ride it out another year. Roster is built pretty poorly so wonder if he'd try something else

Rockets or Pistons a better job? Udoka may wait out past lottery results if he's smart

 

were you intentionally trying to be confusing here

 

I think he’s just trying to say we will suck ass next season (in 1000 words)

 

I was referencing the double use of Scoot as a proper noun and verb in the same sentence

 

Got to scoot Cade and scoot Jaden to the 2/3 to make room to scoot Scoot into the lineup

 

What is the "oh really?" about? Feels like I missed something.

 

I'm only guessing, but I read it as an implication that he knows something the listmaker doesn't.

 

I have no clue about any of those assistants. It's all a crapshoot.

I'm kind of shocked so many people have Jay Wright so high on some of these lists considering his public comments since retirement about not coaching again. That seems like a real long shot that he'd be interested in coaching anywhere again, let alone here. And the risks involved there on top of the money we'd have to pay him seem pretty significant.

 

If you say so.

 

Shams and JEIII say we're going to interview Kevin Ollie. Hard pass on that one when considering some of the other names (including the ones Woj mentioned).

 

Killian lineups and the Wiseman/Bagley lineup in particular....woof

 

Just saw this in replies, lol this guy (he's correct but ignoring Ivey is also in two best lineups and Killian is not)

 

He’s such a Killian stan

 

this guy seems decent as well. Pretty much anyone but Ollie and I am good

 

Our local media is hilarious. Detroit News season grades for a team that was almost worst Pistons team ever

Burks B-, Hami B+, Killian B+, Ivey A, Joseph B, McGruder B+, Bagley B-, Stew B+, Wiseman A-

 

which clown had these grades?

 

Mike Curtis

 

They tried. A+

Last night, Edwards III was mocking Pistons fans who wanted them to sign Ayton for the max last summer.

This morning, Edwards III wrote a story projecting "a perfect, realistic offseason" and has us signing Jerami Grant for $27-30M per season.

I'm glad we didn't max out Ayton, but come on, man.

 

Our favorite blogger Ku live tweeted the Tigers game he went to Saturday and has previously tweeted about Tigers and he goes full Vin talking how bad everyone was and calling people busts. Hilarious how he doesn't have that same energy for Pistons. Our beat/bloggers/etc are hilarious

 

I forgot until today Austin Reaves told the Pistons not to draft him when they tried to pick him

 

Edit: wrong thread

 

Edwards III is the same way with whichever his EPL club is.

 

This guy?

 

Hey, Edwards with a good take today! This tournament seems so stupid

 

Hahaha wonder who did this
