NBA you are locked on NBA your daily NBA podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day what’s up and welcome to another edition of locked on NBA the biggest stories with the local experts I’m your host Jackson Gatlin also host of locked on
Rockets right here on the locked on podcast Network your team every day joining us now is the host of locked on Pistons coup Cahill you can track down wherever you listen to your podcast or on YouTube just search locked on pistons and coup the Detroit Pistons have matched the NBA’s single season record
Now with 2 six straight losses tying them with the 2010 2011 Cleveland Cavaliers as well as the 2013 2014 Philadelphia 76ers the only team with a longer losing streak the Philadelphia 76ers back in 2014 2015 and then into 2015 2016 that 28 game losing streak that spanned across two seasons the last
Time we had you on lockon NBA Monday coup I think the the losing streak was around like nine or 10 games and the narrative was Cade needs help how did we get from that to where we are now with this Pistons team well they didn’t get Kate help that’s that’s that that’s how
We got here they didn’t get Kate help um and now it not only is it unraveling on the court it’s unraveling behind the scenes it’s it’s this is a really really messy situation going on right now in Detroit um Tom Gore the owner just came out two nights ago I believe um which
Was you know take for what you will that the story dropped at 12:01 at uh night 12:01 a.m. that he all of a sudden decided to speak up I think we all know why that happens um to try to keep it all as Hush Hush as as possible and not
Have it be as big of a news drop um but he came out and and spoke about how you know there will be changes but it’s not going to be the ownership it’s not going to be in the front office it’s not going to be in the coaching staff basically
Said that they’re probably goingon to be looking to try and make some trades and you know I I think that’s I I I think that they it’s almost too late for that all that kind of stuff I think they have to make a change that’s true they have
To do something they cannot continue to trot this out every single night but it’s at 26 games like trade should have happened earlier guys should be losing their jobs like this is this should not be something that in year four of your rebuild is something that should ever be
On the board of playing and right now what’s on the board is possibly having the worst season in NBA history there’s no reason why people should be keeping their jobs after this because the front office told the fan base that this was going to be the year they start
Competing and they’re playing meaningful games in April and the only meaningful games they were playing in the first week of the season so it’s just this is a messy situation because of this like I said not just on the courts Messi off the court it’s getting really bad
Probably gonna start hearing some stuff within the next few weeks I assume um it’s it’s just a really really messy situation and I like to compare it a little bit from my Outsiders point of view Jackson to kind of how I think Pistons fans looked at the rocket
Situation last year Pistons fans all last season were like yeah we’re bad but you know at least we don’t have drama like the Rockets like that was the whole that was the whole like feeling among Pistons fan base and now this year the Rockets went out and actually got
Players to help their young guys help them get to the next level now the Rockets are a good team and now this year the Pistons did nothing and now they’re the one with the drama now they’re the ones with stuff going on behind the scenes now they’re the one
Looking like the worst team of all time so it’s it’s it’s quite the situ sitation that has backfired on them and and it’s crazy how it’s gotten here how worried are you coup about Kade Cunningham’s future at this point when when you talk about Tom Gore coming out
And you know kind of alluding to you know making changes and and you know kind of basically pointing the finger at the players and basically saying we’re going to make some trades maybe and whether it’s too late for that does it feel like Kade is still the Cornerstone
Mr Untouchable whatever or do you think he could be on the chopping or do you or even potentially worst case scenario do you think Kate is at a point where he might ask out or ask for a trade or demand a trade uh okay well first I
Don’t think he’s on the trade block I think the reason why changes are happening is because Kay talked with them and let them know that I need help um kind of I I I just read an article from one of my friends Zari Turner um he’s one of the credential media members
With the Pistons this season he just wrote an article talking about everything he’s heard over the last um few weeks um and I can confirm not that it was leaked out by um I believe it was J Edwards of the athletic um last week after Kade dropped 43 points in that
Game I won’t I won’t go into it I’ll let people figure it out for themselves but after that game Cade went and met with Troy Weaver and Tom gors and let them know some things and some things that needed to change and I these changes I think obviously would be happening
Nonetheless but the fact that Cade is kind of on I think Kade and his Camp are losing patience a little bit and they’ve kind of let it known and Kade going out there the last few games and doing everything he can because there was a point in the Philadelphia 76ers game a
Few games ago where it looked like Kate had given up he was mentally broken he only took four shots throughout that game I’ve never seen him look like that before he looked like he was completely checked out like he was mentally broken down and then after that game he has
Been doing everything he can over the last four or five games to try get the Pistons just one win he dropped 43 points the other night this past game he did everything he could and I I believe it was a game against the Jazz against a jazz team that sat half rotation did
Everything he could and wasn’t enough and I had never seen him look the way he looked walking off the court he looked like he was holding back tears and then walking back into the press conference room I was told that he wasn’t he did have tears in his eyes so it’s not even
Just about the fact that what’s going on on the court the Pistons are breaking him down mentally they’re they’re breaking down his ment and I know that he’s told them that some things need to happen I know his Camp is ready to tell like need some things to
Happen do I think they’re trading Kade no they’re doing this I think they’re doing this because they’re on a 26 game losing streak but they’re also doing this because they know that kade’s getting sick of this um do I think that Cade will want out I just find it I find
It hard to believe that he would turn down a rookie extension we’ve never had someone turn down a rookie extension and from everything I understand and heard Kate’s love loves the city Kade loves the fans and he wants to be the one that turns this team around one of the main
Things he’s told me and his his team has told me multiple times is that he could have you know when the drafter around he’s from Texas he could have tried to tank his value to go to Houston at two he could have tried to do that told him
Not to draft me but he wanted this pressure he wanted to be the one that turned the Detroit Pistons around he wanted everything that came with this so I don’t think that he would ask out but I think if things don’t start to get better within the next two years or
Though yeah I I think he could be someone that signed the rookie extension and then you have him asking out for a trade maybe in like 2026 or something 2025 I don’t think it’s something soon though unless things just get like historically awful I mean I think we’re
We’re pretty much we’re almost in that we’re in that historic territory right now it’s get there maybe more so off the court on the court I I don’t think there’s something that could get him to ask out I think off the court that maybe but I don’t think the team’s dumb enough
To do that can the Detroit Pistons end their historic losing streak and K can Kade Cunningham be the guy to turn this Pistons franchise around you’re going to have a covered for all that and so much more over at locked on Pistons coup thanks for stopping by locked on NBA with me appreciate You
