Pistons should be run n gun

Why is Ivey not starting...Cade can play off ball too... He's not a Luka, Bron, Harden etc they trying to force it on him

Defense is a mentality so I blame Monty for that

Killian even still playing in America is crazy

12 in a row is an organizational failure

Aye you gotta keep in mind though the Pistons historically do not tank

You gotta give the new owner some kinda credit..NBA you gotta be bad to get good...they got some decent picks but its looking like they gone overthink it

Wtf is he even talking about? Overpaying a good player would have done far far more than what we’re doing now. Now we’re the worst team with no one in the draft to tank for and not as much in FA.

I think they'll have a ton of capspace next year, but the free agent class is ass. The truth is there's no real direction right now and our hope is that Monty Coach Cartering this shyt so that it eventually ends up being something to build upon and the players get some cohesion.

Houston was lucky to keep getting in the top 4 the last three years in a row, Honestly they still don't have the franchise player to build around IMO, and the 2024 draft is weak... honestly I see Cooper Flagg in 2025 being the guy he can replace Jabari.
How u gon replace a nikka they just drafted

The key is to overpay players with short term contracts

Like Indiana & Houston did this offseason with Bruce Brown & FVV

Don’t give out fully guaranteed 4 and 5 year deals like they did with Ben Gordon and Josh Smith

They need a culture cleanse. Figure out the young players who are the keepers and the rest gotta go. Sign some vets that can contribute now.

Yep. Weaver probably got a 1 and a half year window to show something or he should be outta there. He gets this year to assess who the keepers are and who needs to be dealt regarding the young players, then he's gotta address the holes and actually sign some real free agents or make some trades this off-season. Then he should get up to around the trade deadline to see how the team comes out. If they still looking like dogshyt then he gotta go before he's allowed to make anymore directionless decisions.

These young top picks are making little to no impact in the win column. Wemby & Spurs are 3-13. Cade Cunningham & Pistons are 2-14. I’m sure people will make excuses and say they need help. LeBron helped turn around an abysmal Cavs from 17-65 to 33-49 his rookie season. You don’t have to get a team to the Finals right off the bat but man these teams are no better :dahell:
