Utah was able to get a first for Kelly Olynk, but we couldn’t for Bojan :francis:

Should’ve been traded last year anyway
Keeping Bojan when multiple squads were willing to give up a first with his age and the age/time table of the rest of the squad is unforgivable.

Last two regimes seem intent on helping the rest of the league. Seems like every playoff game I'm just counting the former (or shoulda been) Pistons.

@NormanConnors we are here if you need a shoulder breh :mjcry:

:obama: go ahead and get the jokes off, I've been saying for the longest to play those cats off ball though, Killian bias aside. So I'm good:ehh:. Tape says Ivey and Killian played great together as well as Cade and Killian, and they all played great together at the best clip with the two main scorers playing off ball. Monty and the front office are idiots mismanaging cats and trying to appease old dudes like Bog, and forcing this narrative that Cade needs the rock like Luka and etc, when he doesn't. It's their fault the record is what it is, not the players.

Yall we just flipped literally like over 50% of the roster in a month during year four of a rebuild :dead:

Troy gotta be done, he just out here having fun :mjlol:
if the team had an owner that wasn't an aloof alcoholic then he would've put the cuffs on Troy doing anything. Weaver gonna be here for another 5 fukkin years.

We won't agree on the Killian assessment, but I do agree with the rest of this. Ivey and Cade are both at their best when they don't have to have the responsibility of running the offense and getting everyone else set up. I don't like a Cade-centric offense or any one player that's not all world for that matter. They need a pg to focus them, just one that's an actual scoring threat that can break down a defense. And Cade and Ivey need more time on court together. That should be the priority now after all these moves. But I don't know if Monty actually gives a shyt enough about real coaching to do what needs to be done tho develop these guys properly and start really helping build the team.

Monty actually played a Sasser Ivey Cade Ausar Duran lineup :ehh:

Kinda want to start Grimes for defense

Ivey Grimes Cade Fontechio Duran- balanced lineup. Cade need to embrace being a SF

Sasser Ausar Stewart off bench


Pistons only a few games behind WAS, SA, CHA. Has there ever been a season with this many horrible teams at once?

The 90s had at least three 60-loss teams every season :manny:

Too many TO's down the stretch

Ivey was eating too much and Cade decided to up his own shot output:mjlol:

It's simple mathematics, if I see Monty downtown I'm going to hand him a paper explaining how the lineup should be, with serviceable/reliable/ ball protective PG in all caps at the 1

He might swing on me but I'll gladly take part of the contract in a lawsuit
