The stadium everyone knows who Shams is NBA reporter Rivals wge Adrian wowski they have a little rivalry going on we all know who Shams is um he talked about the Pistons a little bit and gave us some insight of what they’re looking to do players they’re
Targeting and I’m I’m going to read in between the lines of some of the I don’t think you guys are going to like what I took away from this um will a change come during the season we’ll talk about that coming up and then also we’ll talk
About what should be the goal for the rest of this season now that they’ve broken the single season losing streak record what can you do to take anything from this season what should be the goal we’ll talk about that later in the podcast as well but first let’s talk
About this Shams trania article or not article his report that he said on his TV or his his I don’t think it’s on TV I think it’s on FanDuel actually it’s a FanDuel show um he said that the Detroit Pistons are actively looking for a fourman some
Names consist of Pascal cakam oan noi Tobias Harris and Miles Bridges now I’m I’m kind of gonna I wanted to save this for the second segment but I don’t see how I’m G be able to talk about this without dipping into this so where I want to go first is to talk
About these four names that um Shams brought up for the Detroit Pistons and the first thing we’ll go with I want to talk about oan noi first off oan noi I don’t see the Pistons trading for him it’s not going to happen uh his the value for him from
The Raptors is going to be so insanely high that the Pistons should not try to trade for him they are going to try to fleece the Detroit Pistons they’ve been trying to fleece teams with OG for a while now and for example am I giving up
Jay and Ivy for o anobi no I’m not o anobi ain’t like that uh he he’s if he was on this team definitely they would be a lot better um if you simply just dropped him on this team he’s a three and D type of player um he’s he’s pretty
Good not trying to say he’s not but I’m not training Jane ivy for ojan anobi uh a dude who’s very limited in creating his own his own kind of shot takes a lot of corner threes it’s not like he’s taking versatile type of Threes 40% of
His threes are from the corner he shoots 43% on them which is really good but he’s just not very at least from my point of view not very versatile or or crazy sh Creator type of offensive player I think he’s limited on that end and look if you could just drop him onto
The team yes um he would help them a lot but I’m not giving up Jaye ivy for him that he’s not the type of guy that I would deem worthy of giving up Jaye ivy for and the other thing with oan noobi is that he’s technically on an expiring
Contract now he has a player option for next year but a lot of people expect him to opt out of that so he’s on expiring contract I don’t think the Pistons are going to try to trade for him when they think that maybe they could just sign
Him in the off season now do I believe they could actually pull it off and S him in the offseason no I don’t see why Oobi would want to come join the Pistons uh but I think that’s where they’re going with that so I don’t think they’re training for oan
Anobi I think they’re if if anything they’ll try to go after him and free agency this upcoming offseason the next name Pascal cakam now would I trade Jane ivy for Pascal cakam yes now Pascal yakum I would trade Jane ivy for and the reason why I’m saying Jane Ivy is
Because Jane Ivy is the player that gets mentioned is the main guy that the Pistons will be ready to move on from multiple times um they’re not moving off of Cade they’re not moving off of Zar um I know we’ve kind of talked about you
Know is who is it is it is it Ivy or is it um is it Ivy or is it Jaylen Duren who would be the most likely to move if they had to give up somebody I think it’s one of those guys I think it probably is Jay
And Ivy would I give up Jay and Ivy for Pascal SE yakum sure only if I knew he was going to resign with the team because he’s also on an expiring contract um if I knew that he’s resigning with the basketball team and that the Pistons you know talk to him
Behind the scenes like hey we’ll pay you this much we’re willing to give you whatever you want we’ll give you this fouryear contract whatever you know if they’re willing to do that and he’s willing to sign that then possibly but another thing with Pascal too that’s
Kind of concerning is that he’s going to be 30 years old next year so you would be trading for a pretty older player now Pascal is really damn good they he’s the type of player to where you would definitely consider it because how good he is um but
I I I don’t now that I’m saying thinking about myself I I don’t know if I actually would trade for him for uh Jaye Ivy he’s a good player he’s definitely I think he’s close to the quality of player and probably is the quality of
Player that you would do it for but I I now that I’m thinking about it I probably not because he’s an expiring contract he’s getting near 30 years old and he’s shooting 24% from three this year like he’s a really good player but I I don’t know man I don’t know
About that I don’t know all right let’s move on to the next one Tobias Harris do I think the Pistons could get Tobias Harris yes I think Tobias Harris if there is a likely person to be traded for it is Tobias Harris Tobias Harris still has um some family here in Detroit
He has a house here maybe not in Detroit but in like the rich areas of of Michigan Southeast Michigan um he still has house here he very much liked his time here Pistons are extremely interested in him and now he is a player I think the Pistons could go after and
He probably would make some sense I don’t think you’d have to give up a ton to get Tobias Harris you would have to give up Jane Ivy or one of you core for you can move off one of these other dudes which I think would be fine um
Tobias is a much better Defender now than when he was with the Detroit Pistons um so I think he would help on that and it’s not like he’s a lock down defender or anything I’m not trying to say that at all but he’s definitely better than than when he was with the
Detroit Pistons uh he’s become an even better three-point shooter since leaving the Detroit Pistons over the last five seasons he’s around a 38% 37.8 threo uh three-point shooter really good offensive player versatile offensive player can score in the post can score isolation I I really like Tobias and the
Thing with Tobias is he’s on the expiring contract of that 39 million so if the Pistons are trading for any of these guys who are expiring contracts it’s because they believe they can resign or if they’ve already talked with them that hey we’ll give you this extension we’ll sign we’ll sign you
Agreed to this dollars etc etc and they’ll say and Tobias is the one guy I think you could trade for it yeah he’s a little bit older but he’s not his game is not going to fade away um he’s a really good player you won’t his
Contract when you have to sign him is not going to be some crazy contract you have to sign him to either you don’t have to give up too much for him so I think Tobias is the likely person that will end up with Detroit Piston at some
Point I I I think I I’m pretty close to feeling like I could bet money that Tobias Harris will end up at Detroit Piston I I think the interest from both sides could be real um but so yeah I I I’d go after Tobias sis if I could and then miles Bridges
Listen I’m not gonna spend much time on this for the sake for my sake Detroit Pistons please don’t trade for Miles Bridges and please don’t sign miles Bridges look from on court perspective yes he makes sense just on court basketball-wise sure yeah he makes sense
But I don’t need to go into why you know it does you don’t want to go after him like we all know what happened off the court I I don’t want to dive too much into that and and be I I just don’t want to be talking
About that stuff and that’s why I really would hope the Pistons don’t trade for him I’m gon have to talk about that stuff I really don’t I just want to stick to basketball on here so please don’t go after him there we all know what happened off the court you know
Terrible terrible stuff done off the court just don’t please don’t go after him don’t don’t just stay away stay away please please um going back to Dubai’s Harris real quick though I’m looking at his Synergy chart in transition he’s a good uh Synergy hasn’t ranked as good
Spot up he’s in the 89th percentile excellent post up he’s in the very good 73rd percentile I’m in isolation 65 65th percentile which they have is very good on Cuts 68 percentile very good he’s just a really good offensive player very versatile offensive player um I really
Would like to buas on this team um so I think that there’s some real interest there from both sides I think that could happen um so there there’s my thoughts on that report from Shams on the Ford names that he mentioned um I don’t think oan noi is
Realistic at the trade I don’t think Pascal is realistic either I think Tobias his miles stay away from him um but to take this topic to the next segment will the change even come during this season do I think it’s coming this season and you guys will see why it will
Link back to everything we just talked about from the Shams report in just a moment um so stay tuned for all of that coming up but before we get into any of that I have to tell you guys about one of our sponsors eBay Motors our partners over
EBay motors have teamed up with locked on Fantasy Basketball host Josh Lloyd to bring you some of the best fantasy picks each week all season long whether you’re prepping for a daily draft or scouting the waiver wire every week we’re going to provide you with players that are
Guaranteed to fit your roster so let’s see who Josh has picked out for us on this week’s eBay’s guaranteed fit fantasy picks of the week and like I mentioned earlier has been picking a lot of Detroit Pistons lately man Jane Ivy’s back on this list I would be a little
Bit reary of going after Jane Ivy over the last 13 games he shooting around 25% from three 40% from the field he just hasn’t played very well over the last 13 or so games it probably has something to do with how bad the team is and how much
They’re losing and how he’s been you know kind of yanked around a little bit by Monty Williams um though at the beginning of the year despite all that happening he was playing really well so I don’t know if I can put all the blame on that I just think he’s not playing
Well right now I mean until he snaps out of that Ro or out of that uh slump I’d be a little bit weary of adding him um some names that Josh has on here though besides jayen iy I think are some really good picks Jaylen Johnson coming back
For injury with the Atlanta Hawks I think he’s going to be playing a lot of minutes for them and he’s a really nice player another player Dante exom a guy who Jason kid has said is going to continue to start once the Mavs get healthy he’s been playing really well
For the Dallas Mavericks I think he’s going to continue to have a good role with them so I think those two are some excellent picks from Josh lyd and Jane Ivy if you’re a Pistons fan you want to take a chance on him obviously Jane Ivy
Always probably will love to have him on your team Josh lyd from locked on fantasy basketball is going to help you win your fantasy championship and eBay Motors knows a championship team it’s about each player being a perfect fit same thing with your vehicle I’ve told

Listen of every single day we’re fre freedom avable on podcast platforms if you haven’t already head to the YouTube channel at lockon Pistons hit that subscribe button or leave us a five star viiew whatever podcast platform you’re listening to this s that’s another great way to support the podcast will the
Pistons even make a move this year look listen guys we’re gonna have to have a tough talk again I feel like every time we you know we go on this podcast now everything’s a tough talk because of where the Pistons are at but Tom Gores when he came out and spoke to the
Media they asked him about changes and he said he thinks in the near future now he wouldn’t put I don’t feel like he would get very you know he didn’t say this season he didn’t say before the deadline all he would say was in the near future when they kept asking about
Changes now I’m sure a lot of people could take near future as quite literally like the next few weeks they’re going to make some changes or could he be talking about near future as in this upcoming offseason is that what they technically count as near future and they carefully saying those words to
Give them that out of being able to say well I didn’t say before the trade deadline so keep that in mind did he actually confirm that they would make a move during the season I don’t know now let’s move on to the Shams report I listened to Shan’s video it was a 40
Second video I listened to what he had to say and to be honest I got a pretty different takeaway than I feel like Pistons fans than Pistons fans maybe had I saw some takeaways that Pistons fans had after listening to what Shams had to say I don’t think he’s confirming that this
Team is trying to make a move this year and I think some of that is backed up by the names that he said now if we go back to the first segment what was the one common denominator of every single player that we talked about in
That first segment each one of them are expiring contracts I think what’s going on here I think it’s a very real possibility I hope this isn’t the case by the way you guys know I really hope this is not the case but what I think’s Happening Here is or it could be
Happening let me say I know for sure or I think it is going to happen I think it’s just definitely on the board I think it’s about like a 50-50 chance I think what’s Happening Here is are the Pistons are very clearly trying to smooth things over and try to keep fans
At Bay they’re trying to provide some good PR somehow you know by saying that they’re going they’re very committed and they’re trying to make some changes and that they’re very aggressive whatever to keep fans thinking that like you know we’re trying we’re about to make a change whatever
But they’re trying to keep fans at Bay because really what their real plan is is to just wait to this off season and then make moves let this season go how it’s going it is what it is it’s already you know it’s already over with who cares we’re not going to do anything
During the season and then we’ll just do something in the offseason because it tell me do you guys think it makes sense how much sense do you think it makes for the Pistons to trade for the only gu that we hear about them being interested in being Pascal seak expiring contract
Oobi expiring contract Tobias Harris expiring contract miles Bridges expiring contract if you were to get any of those guys in a trade one teams are gonna attack you because they know you’re desperate right now which I I don’t truly care about that in of itself because youve put yourself in this
Position that that’s what you have to do now but teams are going to tax yourself tax you because of the position you’re in and two they’re going to ask you by doing that to give up one probably one of your core four for most of the these
Guys at least two of them Pascal and OG why would any team give up a core for a core of your of your team for a guy you believe you could just go in the free agent Market this upcoming offseason I think that’s what their plan
Is and I don’t think sham said right there that they’re going to make a trade for one of these guys or they’re trying to trade these guys he said he said that it’s someone to keep an eye on this off season even so I I I truly think I’m hoping
That I’m not right about this I the Pistons desperately they need to make a deal weeks ago weeks ago they need to make a move weeks ago but I think now that now that we’re seeing this and we’re seeing what sham said I think it’s very likely it’s on
The board they don’t fire Monty Williams they don’t fire Troy Weaver this thing potentially gets like 30 straight games losses who cares they keep their job for some reason before the year we were talking about how if they didn’t Ru at least 30 Games guys maybe need to be
Fired they’re not going to win 10 games this year and they’re trying to tell everybody that hey we’re they sticking to the plan everyone’s safe we’re all good this team’s going to lose 30 straight games and they’re not going to make any moves like this is do we
Understand how insane this is you understand how other GMS other owners other coaches other fan bases other players from across the league are looking at the Pistons right now how can you lose 30 straight games and just do nothing either way I’m not trying to get
On the rent I think it’s very likely this season ends without a single trade being made without Weaver being fired without Monty Williams being fired this losing streak getting to 30 plus games in a row them not reaching 10 10 games one this season and them expecting
Everybody to just be like you know what it is what it is it was a bad season but now we’re in the off season trust us to try to do something why why why should any Pistons fan want if that’s what their plan is let me tell you this if
Their plan is to wait for this off season with the c Bas that they have to do anything they don’t want to make trades if that’s the plan you need to fire Troy Weaver right now so you can get a new GM and give them it’s the rest
Of the season to evaluate this roster and get ready to prep for this upcoming offseason let them make the moves because right now I don’t think anybody should be trusting Troy Weaver to be the one to make the moves and what was going to be the most pivotal off season it
Looks like for the Detroit Pistons in the last 10 years and we said that last year that it was one of the most pitiful pivotal offseasons and they did nothing and he did nothing and now they are not going to even there’s a chance they may
Not even win 10 games this year so I don’t trust Troy Weaver to make these moves no piston fan trusted Troy Weaver to make these moves ESPN people working there have talked about they don’t trusted them I just read an incredible article from Keith Smith at SP Trak
About the Pistons he doesn’t trust no one trusts Troy Weaver for good reason for good this is not just some unfair madeup fairy tale reason why not to trust Troy Weaver this team is is about to have the worst League about to have the worst record in league history they
Have not made any moves I mean I okay I’m trying not to go into Iran again either way I think they’re sizing up to try to keep fans at Bay long enough to where they can wait again to this offseason not make any moves and just wait till this off season
I think that’s what they want to do now I think public pressure and and pressure from the fan base chancing sell the team and pressure from National media May force them to do something different l so I don’t think 100% they’re not going to make moves I think there’s still a
Chance that the pressure will get to Tom gors where he forces something to happen there’s a chance that that still happens but reading the te leaves reading some of the things I’ve I’ve seen knowing some of the things I know and then listening to what sham said I think
Truly in the heart of hearts of Tom Gores Troy Weaver AR telum Monty Williams all of them right now they’ve really just want like like like like when you’re up like for example like in in in the NFL when you’re up at like 21 points in the fourth quarter the fourth quarter just
Began you got chew clock on man you’re really just trying to get to the end of that clock you’re really just hop you’re not even trying to score teams get careful they you know they’re scared they really would just want this clock to hit zero they’re just trying to get
There that’s what the Pistons I that’s what I reading that te leaves that’s why I believe this front office and this organization is trying to do they’re really just trying to get to the end of the season they’re really just trying to say whatever they have to say do
Whatever they have to do to try to keep fans at least somewhat interested and keep them at Bay and just hurt hurry up and get to the the the z0000 they’re trying to get to the end of this season and now they can say oh well this
Offseason we’re going to try to do stuff Pro promise this offseason we’re we’re really doing something that’s what I think they want to do I’m hoping that pressure gets to them to where that is not what they do because that should not be what they end up doing this year with
What’s happened but I do fully believe at this point that’s what they want to do whether they end up being able to we’ll see but I think of their core heart of hearts and what they talk about in the meetings that we’re all obviously not a part of I think that’s what they
Want to do they really just want to get to the end of the season and not do anything and just you know get the pressure off of them and then go do whatever they want this offseason I think that’s what they’re sizing this up for so let me know what you guys think
Comment section down below or over on Twitter do you guys agree with me do you guys disagree again let me know in the comments section down below or over on Twitter at CA Hill what’s the goal of this season now what should be the goal for the Detroit Pistons this year now
We’ll talk about that in just one moment but first I’ve got to tell you guys about prize picks prize picks is the largest daily fantasy sports option out there in North America we are the easiest and most exciting way to play DFS it’s just you against the numbers
Instead of battling thousands of other players including pros and sharks you pick more than or less than on two to six player stat projections and watch the winnings roll in and I’ve used price picks for a long time now and I have a ton of fun on it not only do I think
It’s the best daily fantasy option out there I think it’s incredibly self-explanatory and it has just about every sport you can think of from basketball to football to heck Esports they quite literally have everything on price picks and another thing that makes price picks so so unique and so great is
That price picks offers a reboot policies so that your entries stay in play even if one of your players gets injured for example in football or basketball games if you have a player who exits in the first half and does not return the second half that player is

What should be the goal for the Detroit Pistons the rest of this year what should be the goal for this organization we’ve talked about this a little bit but what I believe the goal for this team should be playing is not even an idea right now okay it’s over
With okay that that that that died last month so it’s not about playing it’s not about hitting 40 wins it’s not about hitting 30 wins it’s not about that what should be the goal for the rest of the season for the Detroit pist should be to get the right people
In the front office to build this team moving forward whether it’s to heck I’m sorry to say this but whether it’s to tear it down again and rebuild start a new one again or to retool or to get guys in here like whatever it is get a
Front office in here that can take this team to the next to the next spot or wherever they have to get to I think just about everybody in this world besides maybe the people inside the Pistons organization I think every single other person does not No One
Believes right now no one not me not just me not just some Pistons media National media fan bases other players other players other coaches No One Believes In what Troy Weaver is doing right now with the Detroit Pistons okay you need to get some get somebody in
That can help this team get to where they need to get to moving forward that’s should be goal number one goal number two find out is Monty Williams the guy moving forward I do not believe Tom Gores is scared to swallow that contract with Monty Williams he is not
Scared to do so I do not believe he needs to find out is Monty Williams the guy he wants to handle with moving forward is he the guy to helped this team moving forward has he lost this locker room has has he lost these players do these players still believe
He needs to find that out because if he has you need to cut the losses and just get out of it you made a mistake it sucks it’s expensive mistake but cut the losses if you believe so okay keep Monte around just make you have to make that
Decision this year and thirdly with the players you need Tom gor I’m talking to Tom gors now I’m not talking to Troy Weaver because I don’t know if Troy Weaver even makes all the decisions who’s making the decisions right now if it’s Troy weav or ar tellum but I’m
Gonna talk to Tom gors he’s at the head of all this Tom gores you need to get players around Kade Cunningham that fit him and give Pistons fans and the NBA a look into what Cade can look like at his absolute best when he’s being optimized to his a to the
Absolute best ability you need to put players on this roster that fit around whoever the young core is that’s going to be number four for me who is your young core who really is your Untouchable young Corp because there’s a lot of discussion about who actually is a part
Of that that Untouchable young core it’s not just coming from the fan base it’s not just being leaked out for no reason okay we’re not stupid these are discussions that are being had so figure out who is your young core K who else who else is Untouchable is it assar is
Jaylen durren is Jay iy are all four of those guys Untouchable do you guys want to move off of one figure out who your young core is and when you figure out when you pin whoever those guys are just Untouchable you can you do not want to
Move off of no matter what they’re they’re your building blocks for the future your cornerstones of the future when you figure that out and I to be honest I really hope that you figure that out with a new front office but whatever when you figure that
Out get players that not only fit Cade but fit those three so you can find out what they are the rest of the season if they can make progression whether you’ve made the right decision that those guys should be building blocks moving forward do you see progression from them do they
Get better do they eliminate some bad habits do they start to get more competitive in games do they start to win more games you need to find this stuff out just because the Pistons have lost my God 27 straight games does not mean that this season is over when it
Comes to playing or anything of that success yes it’s done but this season is still four more months to go five more months to go you can find out a lot of stuff still you need to find out a lot of stuff now still and it starts with
Having to get the right players in here through trades to get them in here for the rest of the season to find out what you have at the best at at at what you believe is the best chance or best ability with Kade whoever the other guys
Are whether it’s Kade durran and Nar find out what those guys can do with the right pieces around them that that enable them to do what they can do whether it’s all four of them whether it’s Kad and Jane Ivy you want to move off the other two whether it’s Kate Ivy
And D you want move off whatever the combination is that you decide is that young Court that’s Untouchable you want to build around get players in that hypothetically put them in the best positions to be their best selves allow you to use them in the right way assar
Thompson allow to use them in the ex the right way use them in in the best way possible and see what they look like for the rest of the year does the team look better do they start to look better because if that starts to happen you
Could find yourself in the position that the Orlando Magic are in next year you use the rest of you to find out what they are you put the right pieces around them they start to look good now heading into the next season you’re like okay it started off terrible start off terrible
We made changes and now we went to the offseason with some momentum because these guys look really really freaking good and we won more games than we than we thought we were going to before we made the moves and now you can go to the offseason with your cap space with
Whatever flexibility you want to do you could get whatever you want and now you can enter next season with legit expectations of making the playoffs but those are what the goals need to be for this season that’s what you need to do if you do not do that for the rest of the
Season it truly is a Lost season is it a Lost season yet no playoffs play in all that’s done are you an embarrassment to the NBA yes are you embarrassing to Pistons fans yes you those things have already happened but you can still get stuff out of the Season that matter for
The future of this team if you choose not to do those things Tom Gores if you choose not to do any of those things not only did you lose this season with the fans Not only did you lose this season when it comes to making the play in
Their playoffs when you lose this season trying to get to 30 20 games damn near when you lose this season being embarrassment to the NBA a black guy have everyone talking about you in such a terrible way guys I was interviewed by BBC network over the United Kingdom by
Do two of their different stations over there the pistes are worldwide right now for the worst reason possible so Tom Gores you’ve already lost that that’s done it’s lost in that perspective but you can still get something from the season that matters and that’s what good owners would do and that’s what good
Front officers would do they get something from this season that matters and what matters is finding out who your actual young Corp is and what they look like with the best uh uh uh optimize them to the best ability around them getting the right players around them to
Put them in the best positions that’s what the rest of the season should be about and finding out if they you have the right guys leading them that’s what the rest of this season should be about if you don’t do any of that it truly is a complete utterly Lost season and Tom
Gores I think you know that you have to do something no one wants this to just be a completely lost season it’s already bad enough no one wants this season to be for absolutely nothing you have to get that out of this you have to let me
Know in the comments section down below if you agree with me or disagree or over on Twitter at Cahill thank you guys making lock down Pistons your first list of every single day you’re available all your podcast platforms hit that subscribe but on the YouTube channel leave us a festar viiew whatever podcast
Platform listening to us on until next time I will see you guys later stay safe out there till next time peace out and
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that the Detroit Pistons are interested in adding a wing/four position and listed Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Miles Bridges, and Tobias Harris as names of interest. Do any of these names make sense for the Pistons and are these moves something this organization is waiting for this offseason to do or mid-season?

Trading for expirings would be retarded
I’m not giving up Jaden Ivey for pascal I’m sorry, and please don’t go after Tobias Harris pistons. Especially at this stage of his career absolutely not. Miles Bridges is 100 percent what we need here, and anybody can go for bridges except Cade, Ausar and Ivey. 🤷🏽♂️
Shit head pistons need Zach Lavine
"Is Monty Williams the guy moving forward?" Bro it's the first year of the deal 💀💀
90% of the team won't be here next year anyway so it doesn't matter if he lost the team
As a Pistons fan from another state, I can confirm that everyone is talking about this team for all of the wrong reasons. I'm almost looked at sympathetically when people hear that I'm a fan, smh.
anunoby only one that makes sense and tooo expensive
if they bring in miles bridges then all front office needs to be fired
I still think Cade and Ivey are the pieces to build around. Everyone else is replaceable. Ausar is nowhere near being a respectable shooter and unless you think Jalen duren is going to develop a more rounded offensive game I’d rather trade him also. I think everyone can agree on not trusting the front office or gores to make any moves
I think they are waiting for Morris to be evaluated before shipping out burks, Wiseman, Stewart, and possibly sending sasser to the g league. Ku is so disgusted with Bridges that he will ignore the fit and cost to get him.
the only trades I think shoul be ok ish, is for guys like DeAndre Hunter… Deni Advja… DiVincenzo… some ok players, with longer contracts but not that expensive….
Trade Ivey for a wing. Never wanted Pistons to draft Ivey. Reminds me of DSJ. Athletic with no touch.
General basketball fan and recent listener here, I just don't see why Philly would trade Tobias when theyre trying to win NOW, I disagree when you say it wouldn't take much to get him. I think some pistons fans aren't understanding just how little value most of their pieces have. Is Burks, Wiseman, or Livers moving the needle at all trade wise especially for a contender? I don't think the 76ers would even want Ivey when he has not played well this year and Maxey already does what he does but much better. I think they'd probably be interested in duren to improve their backup center role, but theyd probably want to get some shooting back for what theyre losing so youd add in bojan. and I still think theyd want at least 1-2 more of your bench players who have some value like stew or hayes. Tobias as you said is having a really good year. He's played in all 30 games, giving 17ppg with plenty of 20 pieces, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, shooting 51% from the field and 37% from 3 while having 6 seasons of continuity on the team. A contender is not just gonna trade that for table scraps from the worst team and worst bench in the NBA. sorry for the length.
Pistons shouldn’t panic and waste any resources to rescue this season
2-80 or 12-70 it doesn’t really matter. Just lose them all and hope for the 1st pick
None of those guys on that list want to come or return and probably will play like crap until it's time to sign and then we have to overpay just to have a chance at keeping them… They should go after Drummond and guy's like him that's been consistent and healthy and affordable at all the positions available
I would like to see Tobias back, but the other 3 nope! Tobias can make us better without mortgaging our core. I don’t think getting rid of Duren or Ivey is worth it for any of those 4. So if they can get TH without doing that then great!
He drafted four point guards in a row… they traded Saddiq. We only have a Core 2 (Cade & Duren) and maybe Sasser. I still believe in Ivey but it night not work with Cade. Trade with Utah or San Antonio (Collins, Johnson, or Sochan) for Ausar and whatever else. Maybe we get picks back for trading our younger players
The Knicks need a big with Robinson out. Fournier is available, can shoot and is on an expiring contract. He'd fit right now and help them clear the decks for next year. There has to be a deal in there somewhere.
– True, they won't trade before the off-season
– I don't think Troy goes anywhere
– I don't think Monty goes anywhere
– I think they sign FA Tobias Harris during the off-season
– I think they go for a cheap low key risky signing of a younger player with upside that fits their "timeline" such as Miles Bridges
– I think if Devin Booker ever bats an eye, Tom Gores goes deep in his "multibillion dollar" bag & does what it takes to get it done 💣
i’m trading ivey in a heartbeat for OG and Pascal . only way to make a team better that lost 28 straight is too add better players even if you have too give up a turnover prone guard that can’t play defense
Do you really think that replacing Troy is the answer. The problem is Gores, he's the one that had to get his way in the coaching hire, despite his GM (Troy) trying to tell him that this team needed a different type of coach leading them at this time. It's the reason a person who's been in a long term relationship shouldn't rush into another relationship right after the long term relationship ends. You need time to get mentally clear and Monty has not gotten the chance to get mentally clear, so to think that sending Troy on his way and allow a new GM (who might want his own coach) to change the players actions on the court is unrealistic.
Whats crazy is how dudes are tryna dismiss Bridges because of something that behind the scenes your favorite NFL player is doing and just hasn’t been caught the man is a good player and is working on himself like where is the forgiveness because let’s be real a lot of y’all love Trump
Itmakes no sense for the Pistons to give up talent in a trade for any of these free agents to be. This year is already OVER. If they are goign to trade, find young guys on multi year contracts that co grow with our young core.
I read thru 67 comments to see what people were thinking. Since opinions are like a-hole, everyone has one. Lol😂😂😂. Now, here is mine.😂😂😂😂
To me, it's not about not giving up one of the young core. It about trading one and risking that player leaving in the off-season. Also why do people keep saying why free agents won't come here. Won't they come if they are getting more money than other teams will pay? Let's be real if it's about assets we can't match teams like OKC or for that matter, 50% of the league because we don't have picks to trade. What do the Pistons have? A boat load of cash that others teams don't have. Pistons have about 66 mil not including if the get off Bojan's contract for picks. That's darn near 86 mil. They could get two max players. Also look at the others teams that have money, for max players, Magic, Sixers, Jazz and Raptors. Two of the players are on the Raptors and the team probably doesn't want to max them out. The Magic already have wings, and the Jazz have Markkanen and probably not in the market to spend that kind of money. So the team we are really competing with are the Sixers. They want either OG or Siakam. That leaves Tobias and Miles Bridges. To those that say no to Miles. He is going to play in the league, get over it. Not every one is a saint. Can the Pistons get one of those guys? We are going to have to over pay. So what, we have the money. It's been said that the Sixers are willing to pay up to 40 mil for OG or Siakam. Tobias is going to be 25-30 mil, Miles 20-25 mil. They could pick up Kelly Oubre 20mil, Buddy Heild 20-25 mil. Also we have a tax level exemption of 13 mil. Malik Monk, DeAnthony Melton. Yes we have to pay by we have the money. Plus we have a top five pick. Cade, Ivey Duren, OG, Buddy Heild. Bench of Ausar, top 5 pick, Stewart if not traded, Sasser, and pick your choice of Kelly Oubre, Monk, Melton. You still have Bagley as your 3rd center. I think that team can be a playoff team.
