that one pass to Smith for the stand alone 3 needs to be eliminated from the play book, he doesn't make those enough and the miss always leads to a fast break with his man usually the one scoring


Exactly. Would you willing to trade Big Guys like Greg or Drummond or even Josh Smith to get a better, sharp shooter SF or something like that?

Drummond no, I would like for us to keep Monroe if possible. Josh is good at sf in spots but Joe should have tried to get someone more versatile for that position, or just waited until the draft (not sure how much time Gores gave Joe though, he could have been forced to sign somebody right away). If Josh could be flipped im good with that. Don't matter to me either way, I'll have a better answer by all star break

i admit the L on this one. i wasnt even thinking the pistons getting smith but the signing surprised me.

i was adamant about not getting Iggy though. i thought he was too old to tie that much money in when our team probably wouldnt start peaking for another 2-3 years. but in hindsight his perimeter defense and ability to run the court would be golden right now (dont even ask me how :wow: ). we not winning nothing no time soon but he would have definitely been the perfect fit considering the options

oh well we just have to work with what we have, and i believe we can be a 5-6 seed with the team as already constructed. growth together and improving the bench could lift us higher as the years go on

Jennings played 28 minutes and only took 3 shots. :salute:

He probably thought he was pulling a Kobe game 7 against Phoenix and was going to show us how we needed him offensively :troll:


Too bad he is dense and will chalk it up to luck and not realize he needs to take better/ less shots :aicmon:


Be honest Pistons fans: KCP, McLemore or Oladipo?

Agree. Which one player you're really don't want to give him away?
thats tough. i love drummond and greg. honestly my answer could change day to day. right now i'd say drummond. you cant find a 20 year old doing what he is doing right now with the potential he has. but greg vastly improved his post game and with a little more work, some calls from the refs and consistent shot output he could be a 20 and 8.5 - 10 guy

Right now KCP, I haven't seen much of McLemore yet. I like KCP's shooting and defense, he's like an upgraded version of RIP not as automatic jumper wise (yet) but defensively he is better. Oladipo is solid, opinion could change.
