Detroit Pistons HIRE J. B. Bickerstaff as next Head Coach!

so we just started talking about it JB bicker staff fired from Cleveland the Cleveland Cavaliers fired him in May uh would they get eliminate in the second round of the playoffs so he’s had success I guess Cleveland just felt they should have performed better what I liked how Cleveland played basketball I like how they came together as a team these last two years with a lot of players I really like but weird fits like when we’re talking Donovan Mitchell Darius Garland Carris Levert Jared Allen um Isa aoro aoro yeah who’s the big guy who was drafted kads here who Evan Mobley Evan Moy yeah but I thought they played really well they thought they played team defense he’s creative offensively but he’s a defensive minded head coach and although the NBA is going scoring scoring scoring I really like having some guy like this both with experience and some creativity on offense and defense to come and just reset this organization from a basketball standpoint yeah and sometimes you know and some of the rumors I I kind of seen out there is that maybe bicker staff despite how good he is of a coach didn’t quite mesh with Donovan Mitchell which is a individual that we just saw the Cleveland Cavaliers make a longterm investment too obviously these are rumors it’s not something that I know on a personal level so I don’t want to put that out there as if it is Gospel or Truth uh but those are some of the things that have kind of gone around the kind of interwebs uh and so maybe bicker staff is a benit for this Detroit Pistons team which is kind of rudderless right now without a player of the kind of that has that the the the level of aura that ad Donovan Mitchell brings with him to an organization so bigger staff will be able to come here understanding that tran Lon made this higher Tran Landon made this High everybody understand this this is something where you know you got to do what this guy says do because this is what the organization this is what the CEO of the organization the voice of the organization as relat to Detroit pons basketball has now stated and so from that perspective I am hoping oping that the players that are here and anybody they see fit to bring in uh kind of follows his voice because you guys are right the defense that we saw despite what some people say about his inability to make you know offensive adjustments uh in a pinch the defense that we saw and the steps that we need this Detroit Pistons team to take JB bicker staff will help this team take those steps if they listen yeah hey I’m in we when you pair that with the expected Kade cunning and Max these two are now going to be tied together they can start fresh and although we probably said the same thing with Monty last year like this one feels a little different it does ites and I don’t understand how people can say Monty you know swim circles around JB bicker I don’t think Monty Williams is a bad coach I just think last year I think it’s an outlier and I think yeah there was a million different things going on his personal situation it wasn’t the right time it should never have happened um I wish him well but I like this new energy coming into the building when you add guys like JB bicker staff we’re talking about a five-year Max we’re bringing in veteran maybe it’s a year maybe it’s a half a year um they’re going to be more contracts that the Pistons take on this year but when you start bringing in guys like Tim Hardaway Jr um it’s it’s it just feels like we can actually start over you know it’s a lot of people have been maybe clamoring like or thought we’re going to have to move on from a Jaden Ivy or a Duren or a beef stew they’re still here but it still feels like a new team is Brewing does that make sense I I think what what it is is the Detroit Pistons were in a position to take this step this way so when you added Tim Hardway Jr to this collection of young Talent with the cap space that you know you have in the basketball mind and trasan you feel really comfortable about what’s going on if you added Tim Hardaway Jr to the team that you know Troy Weaver stepped into or the team before it that asy and AR tellum we kind of gming and president of bosar operation you know operating then you’re not as excited about it and so I do I don’t think you throw away the positives that had happened before as if that they’re not a part of the foundation you’re you’re giving Kade the max right now that came as a part of the previous Foundation that just didn’t get it done overall but in terms of what TR and a able to do I’m believing that he has a better Eye For What the talent on this team is then maybe we believe yeah you know and maybe that’s what that represents that he’s like you know what Jade iy jayen Duren hard time say because we still don’t know what’s going to happen uh as free agency plays itself out maybe treas is lik to see something in these young guys and he’s like you know what let’s just bring in a couple of the right vets like they tried to do the previous couple years but let’s actually get vets that can play Let’s Get vets that will contribute let’s get vets that mesh and fit a little bit better with our young talent to give them their best potential to succeed because we see these other squads like the Orlando Magic going out there and getting just the right types of vets we see the Houston Rockets going out there and getting just the right types of vets surrounding the young player it’s not even like they’re going out there and you know getting five six seven new additions they just adding like one or two players and their teams are just taking off I’m hoping TR Lon has more of an eye for that if the patient route with the young players is the way they’re going to go yeah and that’s really all it is cuz he’s proven that if you feel the right kind of team with the right kind of players he can’t turn this into a winning situation his last three years with Cleveland all winning seasons of course we know about the the playoff mishaps but you know at first I was kind of iffy on it not to say I hated it I didn’t hate it but you know I I I had to digest it a little more and then after you know looking into it I feel better about this hire to me yes miti may be a better Coach on paper but JB bicker staff is the better fit and for one he wants to be here so that’s automatically that’s automatically get you probably more wins than you had last year he wants to be here and um yeah man he came from a lot of situations for lack of better words man um I think he started with the Rockets right behind the Kevin mcel firing then um in Memphis behind the David fdale situation uh does a year there gets fired so while he’s had a lot of success it’s going to be you know up to him to prove that you know he’s more the last three years than earlier in his career so um they took over for John beine yeah and and that that ushered in a rebuild for the Cavaliers and it was ugly for a couple years and Ryan R I hope this actually was enough enough background I was going to tea up Kool-Aid for it but kg just TR the history of JB bicker staff but he had taken over for that mess that was you know the the postmortem of John John beine in Cleveland and really truly ushered that that rebuild into a what what I think is a team that can contend consistently in the Eastern Conference for a couple years depending on what they do um I like that roster a lot and maybe Darius Garland maybe he wants to follow JB bicker to Detroit maybe maybe for me personally I liked candidates like maybe Sam Cassel just won a championship with the Boston Celtics we’ talked about these candidates on these Airwaves plenty of times Brad Hendrick um other people like Chris Quinn as well I was hoping that Detroit pist could go out there and take a swing at that maybe some firsttime coaches like aan Sweeney uh but this to me signals that maybe the the Detroit Pistons have some place in plan to help lead these young players they don’t need a coach who’s learning on the Fly any of the young players you going to keep I believe they need a guy like a JB bicker they absolutely need stability at this point in the franchise and you’re getting a guy who is way more relatable to the young Talent than Monte probably ever will be or ever was so I’m I’m really looking forward to that like you said he’s defensive minded you have a Ron Holland you have an assar Thompson on this team so I’m interested to see how he he works with all these pieces of course there’s more work to be done still but looking forward to to what he can maybe bring man he’s got a fire too he ain’t no slouch man he we we know about the videos of him uh arguing with refs on the sideline as well he’s got a little fire to him I like it [Music]
