Lavine doesn't work for their age timeline

What timeline? If Weaver wants to keep his job he’s going to have to start winning at some point. Trotting out a lineup of 20-22 year olds every night isn’t working. They need a good mix of vets and young players. Having vet that can score 25-30 a night helps

No one should be pushing for Weaver to sell off young assets to create a treadmill team so he can keep his job

They have Cade Ausar and Duran as their budding stars. They could trade for Lavine and still have a ton of cap space in FA and most likely another 1st rd pick since they can’t trade it until its conveyed

Not sold on Duren.
Cade is a #2 and Ausar is a elite glue guy like Iggy/Ak47.
Lavine is not a #1 option and unless you get that then you will either be lottery or 2nd round exist at best.
OKC did the rebuild right

OKC had limitless assets from trading George, Westbrook, Paul. Pistons had no assets to jumpstart rebuild

I would take a 2nd playoff exit right now. Pistons haven’t done shyt in 15+ years. There is a generation of young adults that have never seen them win a playoff series.

I would say draft better

Ausar Thompson already a special defensive player

 

[Knights89]

And another one

 

[The D-List Vet]

It’s his 3rdyear and he hasn’t made the leap.

Jalen Green has.

It’s time to admit that Cade has a lower ceiling than everybody hoped and that ceiling is neither helping or hurting this team overall, it’s just keeps the status quo.

No one in the top of the 2021 draft is all that good well only Scottie.

This about to be Ausar team in a minute

Had no clue he would be this good. If he learn how to shoot he will be a legit superstar.

Both him and his brother are going to be Stars, just sucks that his brother is going to be a backup for a bit in houston until FVV is gone.

i really wanna wait and see the entire team healthy before i throw this year in the bushes but they have to put Better pieces out there with Cade for him to ever be able to play up to his potential. I Didn't think it was possible for anybody to be a worse shooter than Killian. Then weaver said hold my beer and drafted thompson. Good on d and can rebound but the only way he can play on a winning team is if you got a big man that’s an outside shooter. His shooting is some of the worse i ever seen.

Weaver shouldn’t make it thru the season if they don’t turn this around.

 

[eastside313]

yeah i dont catch A WHOLE LOT of Rockets basketball but ever since Cade was drafted ive kept an eye out on Green to see whos the better player (partially cause of a bet with a friend too lol)

But Sengun ive noticed progressed even more since last year and is a bit more mobile and can kinda shoot a mid range. I think Duren can be that with time

Then why are you in here cappin and talkin like you know what’s going on in Houston. Beat it

 

[wire28]

Maybe we don’t deserve nice things

Bout where I'm at too, but I can see offensive potential still in Ausar. He's rushing things like a rookie now but he has enough touch around the rim to be a consistent scorer in the paint and we'll see how his jumper develops. Marion developed a decent 3pt shyt after it being non-existent his rookie year.
