Dream Weavers: Detroit Pistons Thread 2022-2023

I’m still feeling some type of way Bey just kinda disappeared. The nikka dropped 50 last year he got talent.

He has talent, but I think he overextends beyond where his strengths are. He's not a slasher but he seems to want to be one so bad. I don't know what's wrong with being a lights out catch and shoot guy that can attack closeouts on occasion as that's what made him so valuable. Even his 50 pt game was because he got hot from 3. He made 10 of them that game. I'm not saying not to work on expanding your game, but don't forget the core of what got you here. I thought and still think a lot of Pistons fans overrate him, especially after he dropped that 50 ball

Thought Bey would excel as sixth man. But he’s been bad off bench. Knox outplaying him at this point. He probably is odd man out and guy that needs to be moved. Bogdanovic is everything they wanted Bey to be. And Bey due for a raise

He fukked around and let Beef Stew become a better 3 pt shooter than him You gotta know where your value is in this league and on a team. Everybody can't be the 25pt, take all the shots guy.

Would y'all trade Ivey and Duran for Young?

No. It's not that Trae doesn't have value, but it's a fast track to nowhere. The team makeup as it stands is good. The pieces just need to grow together. Adding Trae takes away salary cap flexibility, and if the whole reason he might request a trade is because they aren't winning like he wants, then wtf is he gonna do when he comes to Detroit?

Would y'all trade Ivey and Duran for Young?

Nope because it would likely take more and we would essentially be in the Blake griffin situation again except trying to do what Atlanta can’t do and that’s build a team around Trae that wins at a higher levw

Would y'all trade Ivey and Duran for Young?

Can a champion caliber team be built around a player practically? He’s always gonna earn too much and not contribute enough defensively as well as too many turnovers. He’s only 6’1 so nah sit pat.

This really needs to be Casey last year. He’s a defensive coach and leading the worst defense in the NBA.

Unbelievable

Just watched replay of collapse

Casey needs to resign. Kinda loss that can break a young team. Team needs a young new voice. Worst possible scenario for them. Didn’t think they were a playoff team but didn’t think they’d be worst team in NBA. Two games worst than Charlotte and they should be better with Ball back now

Casey supposed to be the development coach. Bey regressing big time. Killian and Stew are improving but aren’t starters on a contender. Ivey hitting that rookie wall hard right now. Bogdanovic and Burkes great offensive players but gives it all back on defensive end. Livers injury prone. Diallo, Bagley, Knox former draft bust that show flashes offensively but all terrible defenders. I have more confidence in Duran than anyone else on roster

Just need to tank for the rest of the season to get top 3 odds at Wembanyama. After that yeah.
