Troy Weaver Speaks | The Valenti Show with Rico

All right it is Friday we have got a jamack Super Bowl show today and again if you’re looking to to nerd out on ball that’s fine I mean cash the ticket cookies and I got after it same thing the kickoff show that I do with Boomer

Asiz and if you want nerd ball go get it we’re going to have some fun today deep die it is it’s nerdy I admit it but this isn’t the place for it cuz let’s face it the Lions ain’t in the game we got to deal with other issues including you but I

Uh what did I do that sounded worse no no it’s it’s not what you’ve done it’s what you might do so we’re going to talk about it but I I want to start with something the only nons Super Bowl today right we have TJ Lang joining us Super

Bowl by the Numbers we’re going to get into that who said it Super Bowl Edition but beanie Howell in his update right there the Troy week weever remarks I’ll do one segment on this and we’ll move there won’t be any yelling but first things first he can take that hole

Well if you look at the last two nights he can blow it directly out of his ass how dare you with a record of 8 and 44 how dare you use a two game sample size to tell us that you’re the right guy for the job and how exciting it is how dare

You I mean first of all it’s insulting mhm it’s an insult to your intelligence you are basically saying your customers are the most brain dead idiots on the planet and even though you’ve been here for four years four of the worst years in the history of this Pistons franchise

Even though you’ve been picking in the top five each of the last four years this team goes out and wins two meaningless games on the Left Coast and you pimp that out there at your first speaking engagement since you went William Shakespeare last summer with a

Love letter how dare you you you that is outrageous you noticed that huh yeah that oh no no no no forget all about this then you know props to Reger for asking some real questions but Mike it was two things that he said that I was

Like what well three cuz that was one like wait a minute you want to play the audio for oh yeah play the audio and then you could take it to you could well I won’t say take it to six you could take it to about 212 okay but I just

We’ll do one segment on this David can you play what Beanie played in his update or does he hide that audio from us take a look at the last two nights what about the previous 50 yeah go ahead Rico I’m sorry no no you’re in Rough Waters

Because you put the team in Rough Waters it was another bite that uh that rer sent me that he was saying well you know what now that we’ve gone gone through all the trade the foundation has now been set who sets the foundation four years later I would have raised my choice so

Let me ask you a question you and your wife building a house the contractor comes back four years later and says okay Mr Weaver we have now now officially set the foundation you would fire that man right on the spot you four years and you uttered the phrase well now we’re setting the

Foundation so that means this is day one because you won two games on the west coast forget about everything else the other thing that got me Troy was basically David do we have the cut where he says that they had a a better uh better offers last year for

Bogdanovich give me a second and I will throw that one in for you no you’re fine you’re fine because we we we’re kind of going off script here when he came out and publicly admitted yes we had better offers for Burke and bogdanovic we could have got more last

Year but we didn’t water under the bridge we’re just going to move on that said something to me Mike because you don’t get honesty the only person I know that gives you true honesty as time is though and it’s going to get him in trouble one day other than

That GMS coaches players give you coach speak they get if you asked him if you went out and asked Brad Holmes hey what so how close were you to chase young I don’t want to talk about that you move on now but to publicly admit yes I could

Have got more but I didn’t tells me this man is going nowhere you nailed it you nailed it that that’s the only that is the only reason I did this one segment if you had any questions as to whether Troy Weaver has earned some form of Intergalactic Teflon status oh he’s here

Yesterday’s trade deadline Bizarro world but he’s here and the fact that he said we’ll take a look at the last two nights I I go you know what we need to get this man a wheelbarrow cuz it’s got to be hard carrying balls that big for you to

At 8 and 44 to tell me that the last two nights are signs of progress and how we need to be excited you know what you do need to load your nuts up into a wheelbarrow I don’t know how you carry them around all day you must get awfully

Tired well sit here and say well yeah it’s year four now we’re we’re pouring the foundation four years in four years in and you really think about that Mike you’re building a house you gave the people the money four years ago and they come up to you and say

Hey we just started pouring the foundation what were you doing the other four years what where have you been what have you been doing because your whole dra your first draft gone like I don’t understand David’s kid just turned three years old he walked through the door

With birth control you’re a little late that that’s a great example you’re just a bit late but yeah when he that the honesty of yeah um could have got better deals last year but we didn’t yeah and by the way what is the sense in doing a press conference for invite only media

While the team’s on the west coast what what is the thought process there that doesn’t impact my life at all but I mean the writers are all on the Left Coast so they had to get up early to join the zoom and you’re doing a zoom

Back here I mean it’s the same thing when when they did the Tom Gore’s holiday video routine did it just Bar None it is the worst franchise in all professional sports because here’s the thing Mike it working in the media if you half ass do something at least you

Can say you did it that’s true hadn’t talked all year so oh I we held a press conference we were on the west coast oh where are you I’m sorry sorry it’s it’s the 500m news dump hey get here if you want to talk to me but other than that

Here’s the other thing too and I I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but let me just nip something in the bud because the next time we talk Pistons it’ll probably be June what you don’t get to do is talk about well you know he’s assembled some decent young Talent

Here I could have Kenny cot make the number number one overall draft pick in the NBA and probably get it right it’s called group think all right Jade Ivy was a no-brainer why idiots like us on the show told you if he fell to five it’s an auto pick you just make the

Pick I mean assour Thompson I don’t know if he’s any good the point is you took him fine when you draft consistently in the top five please don’t act like that’s some kind of Act of God that you’ve assembled a good team because here want to see what his first draft

Yielded you picked seventh overall you just waved killy in Haz you picked sadq Bay at 16 you traded him for the dead body of James wisman who’s a dnp and you’ve got beef stew here who cares guys I’m just making a point to you what I’m not going to allow that

Franchise to do is run cover for Troy Weaver because what he took the consensus number one player in Kate Cunningham he took the consensus number five guy in Jaden Ivy I mean the only thing the only comparable person I can think of is maybe he hopes he’s going to

Be under Jim Harbaugh plan and but Jim was a legend at Michigan that he was given seven years yeah and understand the bar is so low in this town that they can probably go win 36 games at some point and they’ll pimp it as a play in

Game appearance and we turned it around but the way I view it is until you consistently start winning 50 games man don’t let don’t let them win the End season tournament no but will be a but work with me until you start winning 50 games a year um or 60 you’re not a

Threat for anything yeah so the last I check we’re in this to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy and win a championship this is the Detroit Pistons Rico I’m just saying I don’t want to be painted as a hater when invariably they’re just not quote historically awful you know what I’m saying yeah so

It’s like you don’t get someone credit just because they stop bleeping their pants well congrats you made it to a toilet that’s the bare minimum how about this you four years into your tenure you did they hit their first winning streak this season uh no they they won the

First two Gam games of the year oh you’re right when they were two and0 or two- one the night LaVine dropped 50 here they were two wins so for the first time in the new year and the second time all season you had winning streak right

Now can you win a third game to tell me you’re happy that jadeen Ivy all of a sudden can shoot a three-point shot we’re good do not as a defense for your ineptitude show me the last two nights that is just insulting right or if you

Want to say okay you know what manty is forced to play all the young guys because all the other ones are gone so he have they have to learn how to play together and branded first right you’re seeing what happens when they all play together but once again why did you

Bring in somebody who didn’t really problem is guys I hate to break it to you but the winds you acrew from here on out really don’t count because two-thirds of the league are not trying so congrats you find people who are either as bad as you or

Care roughly less than you don’t care you go against a playoff team they’re preparing for the playoff they’ll rest their players against yeah it doesn’t matter to me yes you know beating the Blazers I’m I’m impressed with Ivy going seven for seven from Deep I’m impressed that ivy on back-to-back nights played

Really well okay that’s fine but man for him to get up there you got to you get a serious set of plums to get up there you’ve seen the last two games right we’re back literally cradling his pendulous balls one in each arm as he

Got up to the podium to talk about the last two nights we’re back you must be kidding me um but yeah he’s here forever so enjoy now let’s get to the Super Bowl shall we Kenny has an angle he’d like to discuss with you and I think we need to

Do it next it’s the starting point for the show okay we’ll talk Super Bowl food some party items Super Bowl by the Numbers prop bet Casino locked and loaded till 6
