I think this year is going to determine what's done with Duren moving forward. He's got Bickerstaff coaching him now, a well established defensive coach. If he can't get him to be deterent force in the paint then it's probably never gonna happen. Time will tell.

He needs someone that was a defensive big coaching him on the staff, bring in Ben Wallace/see if he is interested. This is still all fall back from Van Gundy era not bringing Sheed back on. Treat this like Boxing, you bring in a new trainer to add to whatever skills your guy already has. Pistons can't develop for shyt.

Spot on. Drummond was developing a bank to the basket game once Sheed start working with him, then Van Gundy came and cleaned the coaching staff house, and damn near nobody has improved much sense.

Tobias and THJ look terrible. Worse versions of Bogdonavic and Burke

Cade and Ivey only bright spots. Weaver truly was terrible GM

Ausar might be damaged good at this point. Crazy he hasn’t been cleared to play yet
Cooper Flagg sweepstakes here we come :mjcry:

I can speak from experience in going through it with my wife, it's not that crazy. They do not play around with blood clots. Wife had to be monitored for a whole year to confirm if there was a clotting agent in her blood. I imagine it's even more intense with athletes with the constant flying and potential liability situation. But once he's cleared I don't think we'll hear anything else about it.

Well we got a shot @ winning against the 76ers with their injuries. Not saying it will happen though.
