Detroit Pistons want to go after these forwards In free agency

Detroit Pistons want to go after these forwards In free agency

Sham chirania gave us a few names to keep an eye on that could possibly sign with the Detroit Pistons this off season the names are Pascal seaka oana newbie which is probably not gonna happen now that he went to the New York Knicks Tobias Harris and Fan Favorite miles

Bridges me personally I want to see Pascal seaka play for the Detroit Pistons just another guy that can create his own shot plays with a ton of energy he can create for others he’s another guy that Kate or Ivy could drive and kick out to hit in open three he’s a

Very good player that I think is going to have a few more years playing at a high level left in the NBA I think the most realistic option though is mile Bridges just because of his connection to the state of Michigan and he is I

Mean I know some fans don’t want to hear it but he is having a pretty good season right now for the Charlotte Hornets he’s averaging 19 points shooting 44% from the field seven rebounds three assists a steal in half a block per game he is only shooting 31% from three which is

Down from his career of 34% but miles Bridges I know all this stuff bothers people that happened off the floor and that’s fair if you feel that way but he is still a good basketball player I just want to finish it with that but what name intrigues you the most out of these

Four names well the the name that intrigued me the most was Pascal seak um my only concern with Pascal is the shooting from the perimeter um he he’s not known to be an elite three-point shooter and that’s not really his game his game is more in the

Post um than the perimeter which I I I think a lot of Pistons fans know that they they know that he’s more of that you know post presence it’s he kind of looks like the Tasmanian devils at times just the way he just with the spin moves

And stuff like that but I think Pascal has always has been a name that a lot of Pistons fans look at at the power forward position it’s like yeah I would like that guy on my basketball team he’s a good player um I would like him but at

The same time I think Tobias Harris to me I I’ve told you I think he’s more realistic than anyone on this list I’m not going to speak on the miles Bridges off the court stuff because it’s not my place to talk about what he went through

Or what he did I should say um and I can understand why some fans don’t want him anywhere near the Detroit Pistons it would actually kind of go against everything the Detroit Pistons have preached to us we go after the person not the player um so I I kind of think

It it’s contradictory um I was kind of surprised when jams did mention his name this week but for me I would like Pascal cakam but I think ultimately Tobias Harris to me would probably be the most realistic you know forward they go after it’s the name that the organization is

For familiar with they traded for him once possibly they could trade for him again during this trading deadline or wait to see in free agency you know what a number for him would be but I I think to bias to me would make the most sense

For this team just for the fact that he can score at all three levels and he’s really familiar with this organization and you know he he was a part of a team that made the playoffs so um I know he’s a little bit on the older side but that

That’s is kind of my take on it with all these players that jams did um report this week obviously like Pascal but I I just don’t know how realistic that could possibly be especially when you’re going to have a lot of teams in free agency trying to you know bid you even though

You do have practically 50 60 million in cap space depending on what you do uh during this trading deadline I I I just think do you really want to max out a a guy like a pascal cakam who’s not known to be a three-point shooter or would you

Rather possibly you know pay Tobias Harris and you know he can at least hit a three-point three-point shot at least League average so that’s kind of like my only argument with it I will say just real quick before we move on Pascal three seasons he made 34% or better he

Actually hit 37% on three attempts per game his third year in the league and then 36% on six attempts per game his fourth year his first All-Star appearance I think when he has the larger offensive role that’s when you see the efficiency start to dip that’s

Why I think if you were to play even though the Pistons aren’t good but if he was to play with a playmaker like Kade and jayen Ivy who do create a lot of gravity when they’re going to the hoop or operating in the mid-range he would

Get a lot of open looks and I think that three-point percentage would kick up a little bit more but he’s not shooting the ball very well this year at only 25 percent per um a game but he’s a guy that once you get him at the top of the

Key and he does that little like you were saying that Tasmanian Devil spin move I mean he we’ve seen it a bunch tonight it’s so effective and that’s a guy even at he’s 29 right now he’ll be 30 I think next year probably even going

Into his 31st going in to be 31 I still think he could be effective like that just because his game isn’t really relied a ton on athleticism he does need that quick First Step which eventually he will lose but I mean still playing at a high level in his early 30s I think

That’s something Pascal seak could do he out of this list I do like to buy his Harris he is a little bit older but if I were to throw the bank at someone it would be Pascal cakam on this list just because I think he could have the larger

Make the largest Improvement on this team just because of the role he could play I mean another 20po scorer in a an effective Defender not a great one but an effective Defender that would be I think that would really help this team out I just don’t see it happening for

Either of these for any of these guys though coming to Detroit I don’t know yeah I mean I I can get why people want Pascal he’s younger like career-wise he’s shooting 32% from three uh Tobias career-wise is shooting 36 almost 37% so I mean it’s not that I don’t like Pascal

I do I just question fit yeah I think fitwise Tobias makes more sense on paper but who who am I to say that Pascal wouldn’t fit with Kade Cunningham I’m sure you know they could find a way for those two to coexist together I I just kind of

Question because you have so much money tied up like Isaiah Stewart baggley um what are you doing there at that power for position I mean Marvin Bagley was a DMP tonight again like I I don’t know what his future holds like is he on the trading block do the Pistons

Want to move on from baggley do they see wisan is more of that backup center I don’t know there’s a lot of questions you have to ask yourself is an organization and as fans too watching this I think fans are very vocal about wanting guys like a cakam like a kusma

Like a Jeremy Grant like a Tobias even you know some fans are with the miles Bridges stuff like I get it um I just think you need three and D Wings to help Kate Cunningham I mean you put Kevin Knox in the game and you see what happens when you put a competent

Player that can shoot three-pointers and put theall on the floor a little bit I mean if you get this team some three and D Wings to compliment you know Jaylen dur and jadeen Ivy and Kate Cunningham you’re gonna see more wins on the basketball court so I I think any of

These guys would you know help Kate Cunningham out a lot I just kind of question the fit with SE yakum in terms of you know the the paint being clogged up because if you want SE yakum to be here in Detroit he’s gonna really have to you know shoot the three-point shot

Closer to like you know 35% for I think a lot of fans to be willing to give him that bag that he’s probably going to be seeking this Summer that makes sense and those are all very fair [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Points oh
