Detroit may be ready to deal​

In Detroit, the severity of Cade Cunningham’s shin injury has the Pistons’ lynchpin considering season-ending surgery, leaving opposing front offices positing that veteran sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic will indeed become available before February’s buzzer. The Suns and Lakers were two teams engaged with Utah about Bogdanovic trades this summer.

Another Pistons player league personnel are monitoring is third-year forward Saddiq Bey. The Villanova product was recently demoted from the starting lineup before bouncing right back into Dwane Casey’s opening unit. Bey will become extension-eligible this summer and has had a noticeable drop in production. Detroit has taken early calls on Bey from inquiring teams, sources said, a change in behavior from recent trade windows. But it seems the Pistons are intent on further evaluating Bey before truly entertaining his trade market.

Burks might be too good to keep benched even at the prospect of our young guys playing
That makes no sense. Prioritize youth develop unless you trying to showcase for trades. Watch that game last night and I wouldn’t even be happy with that if I was Pistons fan. You won but it was mostly off the back of veterans. Duren flashed prettt well. But ain’t nobody trying to see Burks, Knox and Bogdan win meaningless games

If that’s the case you can have Gordon for free.

Houston and Detroit are in similar bad states. All the other rebuilding teams have warped passed us. Coaching and management letting us down.

Young guys had like three turnovers in a row 🤣
The team had yet to win a road game and both ivey Killian and the rest have had better games no point in letting them play bad basketball when a win was right there. Burks Bojan and maybe Cojo were the vets but Duren who is 19 and Knox who is 23 still closed out.

You consider Knox apart of your core?

Only core players right now is Cade ivey and Duren. But that doesn’t mean fukk everyone else. 82 game season ivey isn’t becoming all nba by finishing that game out might as well let Burks and Bojan clutch a needed dub

Bottom line Casey must do what's best for the team. Duren is what's best for the team. Not Beef Stew. Great coaches do that.

It would be nice if this is the team new him, but I'm pretty skeptical. He's never been a good shooter. But if he's able to revamp his game to a athletic 3 and d type he'll be very valuable to the team.
