This team does not currently have a #1 option and they won't be getting it from FA. If a trade presents itself then sure make it, but otherwise the only avenue is the draft. No way in hell would OKC give up SGA. If anyone leaves it will be Giddey.
They were ready to give up SGA to y’all a couple of years ago for the first round pick that got Cade. That team is cheap. That’s why their city doesn’t want to pay for their new arena. At all. Because the fanbase wants them to prove that they’re willing to go into the tax and stay there to field a competitive team. That fanbase doesn’t believe that ownership or front office will keep that core together for long.

Killian must be having another out of body experience.
Played how he normally does/brings to the table, now I know you don't be watching games :mjlol

Pistons win tonight with a couple more guys in tonight, especially Duren. The team is better as the record shows. I still think Hayes should be primary PG/move Cade more off ball/or to primarily small forward.

Bagley and Wiseman aren’t minimum players, they combine for $25 million. The Warriors were staring down financial armageddon this year because of the luxury tax and Troy swooped in to save them. The Pistons didn’t get anything out of doing so. Troy did the same thing taking Burks and Noel so the Knicks can sign Brunson to make them competitive, taking on Harris to help the Nets retain Cam Johnson, taking on Bog to help Utah expedite their rebuild. Troy helped other teams out without the Pistons gaining anything from it. I was okay with Bogdanovic, but he should have been traded by now as his value has diminished. We’re seeing the same useless moves done repeatedly. How can I not call attention to it, I’ve been watching this team since the Microwave hit the jumper at 007 and this is the worst run we’ve ever had. There’s been numerous major trades in the past year, why havent the names I mentioned above been moved yet?

So your major criticism is that the pistons are helping other teams ? You wanted to give Cam Johnson 120 million ? Give FVV the bag the rockets gave him ? 140 for Grant ? What is the fatal mistake that has happened under Weaver ? The whole damn city wanted the pistons to tank hard last year but now we’re going to use hindsight because we didn’t get wemby ,and even then he grabbed Ausar and Sasser …which both look like W’s

The reason why Bog isn’t traded is staring at us every time the pistons play. He’s a legit NBA scorer,probably top 2 on the team ..Pistons fans screaming about not having talent but then at the same time talking about trading away one of the few Vet talents on the team .

For the most part these criticisms sound like nikkas being bored and wanting to press fast forward .

8-12 fg and 3-4 from 3? If he normally played like that most of the people clamoring for Ivey to start wouldn’t care so much. He had periods last season where he went off but he’s not usually efficiently the lead scorer on his team.

His FG% is normally in the 30s. He’s usually in the 20s from 3.

Thats exactly what I'm saying. The shots were all within his normal play in regards to where he is best at (primary mid range, bully ball in the paint, low 3 pt attempts) is what I'm saying. If you watch him he has lot of unfortunate misses where the ball goes in and out or the touch is there but the ball simply doesn't roll his way. He has his share of bad misses too but if you pay attention those mostly come about when son is forcing and takes an ill advised shot/playing outside the flow. Last night his form looked excellent, elbow was tucked/not chicken wing status, anyone that has played ball forreal has to know you just have to keep getting shots up to work through kinks.

Last night his offense was working but the assist, rebounds, steals/all around game is always there, which is way I don't understand why cats are trippin' . When he's allowed to have the rock he does his thing, pushing the pace, setting cats up, and getting himself in the lane using his strength. Breh had Stewart looking like a top 3 stretch big in the league

10-12 quality shots per game with 3-4 quality 3's max is where he should be at with this team's system offense wise, as I said earlier the assist, boards, steals are always there. Move him to starting/primary PG and you're looking at a 18-20 point and 8-10 assist guy right now.

8/0 assist to turnover ratio last night in a fast paced up and down game. :manny:



If the Spurs fukk around and get dude :snoop:

He been in the league like 3 years. If he was going to turn that corner don’t you think it would have happened by now? His shooting for his career is terrible and not really improving. His career is under 40% shooting. You think another team gets him and makes him into a better player offensively?
