The Pistons Have LOST Their MINDS…

The Pistons Have LOST Their MINDS…

The Detroit Pistons have straight up lost their minds as there have been a multitude of reports that have dropped revealing their interest in Pascal cakam and quote that they are going all in on win now players particularly like cakam so we’re going to dive into everything these reports have to say because

Frankly I think it is absolutely insane because the Pistons again have the League’s worst record they had that historic losing streak and somehow some way they think it’s a smart idea to give up the farm to acquire win now players so we’ll see what that ends up coming to

Break down whether or not it’s an actual possibility if it makes any sense for the Toronto Raptors and dive into the absurdity of it all but before we do that folks over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel so mean the world to me if you guys could hit

That subscribe button you guys been crushing as of late so if you want to continue with this daily Toronto Raptors coverage definitely hit that subscribe button but let’s dive into this madness because again we have a lot of reports coming out linking Pascal cakam to the Detroit Pistons and it makes zero sense

So basically the first one’s coming from Jake fiser saying the Detroit Pistons are looking to buy win now players and could show an interest in Pascal cakam the Pistons keep signaling to opposing Executives an interest in buying sources have set instead of selling off Veterans for from the League’s lowest ranked team

So again that is frankly Madness you look at the Detroit Pistons right now in the standings and they are 3 and 32 I mean they have half the wins of the Washington Wizards I don’t even know how that’s possible given how bad the Wizards have been this season but I

Guess when you have the League’s historic most losing streak you know that was snapped by the Toronto Raptors unfortunately he makes you do some crazy things some wild ideas start popping in the front office and maybe I get the logic a little bit I get it an ounce

Because the Pistons are so bad even during tanking years you want to have some moments of Hope some moments of joy for the fans but the Pistons just continue to lose doesn’t seem like there’s any actual development going on for the younger guys like Kate Cunningham like you know Jaden Ivy like

Ad Duran like any of those players they have currently on that roster so bringing in some wind now de can at least reshape the culture just a little bit so maybe they can make a push for next season I mean the Pistons were hoping to make a little playoff run this

Year that’s why they didn’t deal away uh boan bonovich for two first round picks last season they thought they had a little Core Group in there that could potentially make a run they gave Monty Williams that insane coaching salary and somehow some way they have the League’s worst record in a historically Bad

Season but that’s not the only report that came out as basically we also heard from NBA trade report that the Pistons will be quote all in on Toronto’s Pascal cakam as the NBA trade deadline approaches so again NBA trade report has had some hits has had some misses not

Completely leaning into that but then also from real GM basically the Pacers Kings and pistons are considered to be the most likely trade partners for the Raptors on Pascal seaka so again I dove into why doesn’t really make sense for the tro for the Detroit Pistons to be

All in on win now guys or anything along those lines but I mean why on Earth would they specifically be going after Pascal seakan because you know if you’re making that type of deal if you want to get some win now players don’t go after a guy that’s entering unrestricted free

Agency and has made it known that he will not sign a contract extension immediately after getting traded to a team the Detroit Pistons may have had better luck with OG and anobi giving his desire to have a bigger role given the cap space that the Pistons actually have

To offer but siakam’s getting a Max wherever he goes no team is trading for him without the the idea the consideration that he’s not receiving a Max contract his resume is too strong some team is giving him a Max so you know the Pistons don’t have the leverage

Of money then they also really don’t have the leverage of uh providing him with a more winning situation Pascal seak said all he really wants to do is go to a place where he’s having fun wants to have fun with basketball he believes he can do that with the Toronto

Raptors you know winning change do everything and stuff along those lines you’re not having fun with the Detroit Pistons right now and frankly it doesn’t seem like fun is on the horizon whatsoever for that Pistons team even though they do have some young players so why on Earth would they be going

After Pascal cakam you know go all in if they don’t have assurance that he’s going to stay I mean he’s going to leave it makes zero sense no reason whatsoever for him to stay with that group maybe his connection to Dwayne Casey I don’t really know but it makes zero sense for

Him to stay with the Pistons long term if that deal does go through so the Pistons we have be given up meet the Raptors asking price and uh take an insane risk which I don’t know the Pistons have just done some insane things in the past but even their young

Players don’t make as much sense of the Toronto Raptors here now at this point following the OG and anobi trade because I was a little bit more bullish on a potential piston steel if they were crazy enough to make a trade you know before we ended up absolutely increasing

Our guard depth but now especially if we deal away Pascal cakam our front line will be diminished the same way it currently is now at this point we saw it last night against the Sacramento Kings so who do the Pistons really have on their roster I mean J Ivy is a guy that

Is an interesting piece he was really good last season for the Pistons this year’s had an inconsistent role averaging 13 points 3.5 rebounds three assists you know he’s athletic he can shoot the three can get Buckets in a hurry Jay iy is an interesting piece and

A lot more interesting if we didn’t have a manual quickly but we have quickly on this group right now we have sh that’s a premier backup point guard in the NBA not that interest in Jaden Ivy here at this point and then you also have a sir Thompson who just fitwise doesn’t fit

Whatsoever this Raptor’s team now eight points seven rebounds he can slash he can attack he can do his thing out there but the lack of three-point shooting combined and maybe if you get rid of purle you know it it make a little bit more sense but he’s 67 small forward we

Have Scotty we have RJ we have shoter we have Emanuel quickly I mean you know a guy that’s shooting 15% from three again the potential is there Thompson wouldn’t be a horrible turn wouldn’t be a guy that I think is just a devastating package to get back in a pascal cakam

Deal but you know just solely off potential alone but in terms of what he’s actually providing in terms of fit doesn’t really make sense especially of this new looked Raptor younger group like future timeline looks for this team so the only real piece that I think would be encouraging to get back from

The Detroit Pistons is a Jaylen durren who this season’s averaging 13 and 12 again you probably have to deal away yaka purle then at this point you go in that younger Direction Jaylen dur is an absolute stud out there at the big man position can play defense isn’t going to

Space the floor but he’s a lob threat he finishes around the rim he’s sort of the that sort of athletic prototypical center that you kind of want to sort of develop and grow with your team so again if a pascal seak and trade does end up going down I believe it should be

Centered around Duran If Messi jiri is willing to make a trade that’s kind of Mak sense obviously the cap doesn’t work out one for one you’d have to deal purle then at that point but I think you’re dealing imp purle if you trade away Pascal cakam you know making the money

Work making all that sort of situation so I mean I unless that’s the sort of package I don’t really see a return that makes sense for the Toronto Raptors and in any world I don’t think this makes sense for the Detroit Pistons frankly I I’m shocked I think it’s just absurd

It’s a bit crazy and they’re willing to sort of even contemplate that these rumors are even coming out because we know the LA Raptors rarely leak stuff unless it’s to Michael Grange and generally they do that to Michael gra to leak some bad info to Mis you know

Mispro misdirect the rest of the NBA so the Pistons are somehow leaking this why on Earth are they going all in for Pascal sakam it’s not going to be an easy return it’s not going to be an easy Hull but if the Raptors can finess just the absolute abomination of a franchise

The Detroit Pistons has been over the past decade I mean I’m all here for it it’ be a bad look to send Pascal to Detroit but I think it’s less so because he’s an unrestricted free agent he can leave so there’s that that’s just kind

Of how it goes but let me know what you guys think about all this Toronto Raptor news the madness the trade reports rumors continues to continues to escalate so subscribe to the Raptor digest as we break it all down for you folks but anyways I’m signing out cheers
