15-67 prediction basketball fan ( warrior fan) not a pistons fan. I thought y'all would be solid 35 wins when you started 2-1 and looked solid first 5 or so games
I knew the moment we extended Isaiah Stewart with a year still remaining on his rookie deal that the Pistons would be doomed. I admittedly anticipated slightly cracking the 20 win mark prior to the season, but even that seems like a pipe dream at this point.
Now is Stew the source of all this team’s problems? Of course not. Is his contract an abject albatross? Not necessarily. But the signing exemplifies everything wrong with the Pistons’ front office and the organization as a whole from the top down.
Stew had already started more than 130 games in his career prior to this season and all he had proven was that he is not and never will be a starting caliber NBA player. His career numbers were beyond mediocre for a starter (and they still are). He can’t create his own shot, is undersized for his position, has no post game, cannot put the ball on the floor, and sorely lacks the athleticism to be a rim runner or a lob threat.
BUT…he “hustles”. He plays with “effort” and “energy”. He’s the “anchor” and “emotional leader” of this young team.
And that, of course, was more than enough to sell this front office.
By paying Stew and effectively cementing him as your starting PF of the future, it indicates that the Pistons are more concerned with assembling a team full of guys who fit this goofy culture that they’ve conjured in their twisted minds rather than going out and trying to acquire people that are actually good at basketball. They couldn’t care less about surrounding Cade and Ivey with the proper pieces to help spur their development. The most important thing is keeping the “emotional leader” of the worst team in basketball over the past 4 years on this roster and ensuring him a starting spot.
Rico is being generous. As a fan I depend on the Pistons losing and hope it burns all the way down. Move to Seattle because this 3 wins total all season stuff tarnishes my memories of Ben Wallace. It's bad
The Pistons are in the bottom 3 of worst winning percentages of any pro sports team (all 4 leagues) since 2019, along with the Carolina Panthers and NY Jets. So sad to see what Gores has done to this once great franchise.
Just heard that Bagley was a "healthy scratch" against Washington – so Monty could play Wiseman?? How is that freaking possible? Is Monty the Piston's answer to Matt Patricia's BS when was the Lion's coach. You undermine Ivy BEFORE you even play a game by benching him and then barely playing him – you surround Cade with four guys who can't shoot and then complain about "turnovers" – and you act like Killian and Stewart are "starters" rather than bench players.

hey mike your overweight
Their not beating the Lakers or NY afterwards….
I agree w David
I had them winning 25 games and that has drastically changed.
Karma is biting them if y’all had attended the open practice y’all woulda been pissed.
Under and Troy Weaver will still be there 😢

That “What Are We Doing?” placard Rico suggests is the funniest thing I’ve heard on this show. Also “No Win November”. Two gems in one segment!
I got 1.5 wins at the most the schedule is brutal

Entire organization is a dumpster fire.
Troy Weaver reminds me of Bob Quinn, a scout that's clueless about being a GM.
Pistons need to do what the Lions did and get a real GM.
Denver Nuggets assistant GM Tommy Balcetis is who Gores should hire.
I’ll say under 3 and Weaver is still here, Gores doesn’t care
Bring back Joe Dumars

20-62.
Pistons GM has been getting praise up until this season, his draft picks are solid just needs to get way more active on the FA market
I now see why casey quit 😂😂😂
Should be set at 2.5

Tom Gores has billions of dollars because he constantly scammed prisoners for phone calls at a rate of a price per minute long.

2022/2023 revenue for Detroit Pistons: $274 million. Tom Gores : "When the wallet's fat that's where it's at"
I'm having a hard time finding a win. I'm going under. Troy will still be employed.
