Watching and I appreciate it and I realized that a lot of you guys started following me because of my Detroit Pistons content and that’s not lost on me it’s just that I have stopped making Detroit Pistons content in the last two weeks because this team has truly become
One of the most unwatchable sports teams in my life like I need the season to end immediately Detroit is sputtering to the Finish Line players are getting hurt it just needs to end I I need the season to end immediately I think between Troy Weaver yelling at fans and all it’s just
The level of the news that has broken around the Detroit Pistons in the last couple of weeks that has just really been so deflating and you you think you look at the you look at the team you look at the core you look at the best players and you’re like there is
Something here but the more and more I think about it the more and more I start to just be like oh we’re trapping ourselves again like I’ve said all season I don’t put a lot of this on the players I put a lot of this on Troy Weaver and Monty
Williams Troy Weaver does not know what he’s doing and it’s so wild for a team to be this bad for this number of years it’s unacceptable and something has to change because it’s clearly not working my last draw was the Marvin baggley deal and then waving muscala and Danilo
Galinari that’s my that’s my like last STW being like Oh I thought this man was cooking but apparently not and then I think the the thing that just broke the Spirit of Detroit Pistons fans even though the Detroit Piston’s fan base is strong in terms of just we’ve sat
Through four years of this now I think seeing that Shams tweet that assar Thompson is being shut down for the season with a blood clot was absolutely just devastating news to hear and now there are articles saying that the Detroit Pistons are optimistic about it I hope that he makes recovery gets well
And all of that it is so unfortunate it it’s so sad too because he’s been having such a great season just seeing the flashes of Brilliance from assar Thompson this year on the defensive end and seeing the things that he could potentially do on the off offensive end
Is something really special and it sucks that his season had to end this way this and I think for this seeing that news was like I feel like there were he was listed as out for like asthma for a couple of games or whatnot and I’m again
I’m glad that they caught this of course I’m glad that they caught this and are taking care of it um but that that was that’s a Shams tweet that I saw and almost just dropped my phone and dis belief and shock and sadness you know I
Just feel so bad for him the other sad stuff is Isaiah Stewart is being shut down for the rest of the season as well the thing about Isaiah Stewart to me is that I again I do not think that Isaiah Stewart is a future starting power
Forward on this team however that is not to say that Isaiah Stewart wouldn’t be a useful player on a like he is useful I rather have him be able to play the backup five when he came back from injury there were times where Isaiah steu was able to get minutes at the
Backup five which unlocks assar Thompson’s offense in certain ways in terms of just being able to give him space to operate playing assar Thompson Jaylen durren and Isaiah Stewart together and like starting them all was not really helping what assar Thompson can bring to the table and I know a lot
Of you a lot of you will point to assar Thompson’s early like jump shot hitting the backboard shooting like there the point where he was shooting 15% from three and but I think that if this team had a more creative coach that assar Thompson would still be a useful he
Would be so much more useful if we just had a coach that just was a smarter offensive mind because it would suck game after game after game to see the Pistons run their offense and assar Thompson stand in the corner and it’s like where’s the creativity where is the
Understanding of your roster Monty what is going on it’s just so sad to see and then another thing is that Piston’s Twitter has been very split on the opinions of the core for um there are there’s a camp that thinks that this core for in terms of durren Ivy assar
And Cade can’t play together and I was always on the let them figure it out they let them figure it out but the more I see it the more I can be like I understand where they’re coming from and it it comes to down it comes down to two
Things um whenever Jaden Ivy slumps it looks just bad and it it looks just like it it it sucks sometimes and like and players slump and players get hot all the time but when Jay iy is off it just feels like the energy from him is just noticeably like
Different and of course I know know that’s not criticism that’s not whatever it’s just an observation I think my bigger concern is Jaylen Duran’s lack of defensive ability at this moment at this point Jaylen Darren and James wisman are like not good enough Rim protectors and it’s it’s been interesting seeing game
After game after game where it’s like when it comes to like protecting the rim he’s not that like he’s not great right now and of course this is you can chalk it down to age you can chalk it down to that him he’s still learning it’s gotten to a
Point where it feels like bad habits are being developed and it reminds me of the bad habits that Andre Drummond developed when he was a piston on both sides of the floor I know that Jaylen Duran has the chance to go 20 and 20 every game we’ve seen this before with Drummond
Where it’s like you have all these tools but you’re not really improving and I’m really concerned about that on that front on the defensive end if Jaylen dur not improving on the defensive end and now we this leads us to I guess James wisman where James wisman has improved
And I think that a lot of Pistons Twitter has choed up to Taj Gibson being signed to a 10-day contract and I think that Tod gibon giving James wisman some confidence that sounds great I’m I’m rooting for that and James wisman has improved um I don’t know if he’ll be on
The team with us next year or not but good for him that’s all I can say I don’t know man it’s like year it’s year four every game and every day I’m just losing more and more faith I didn’t even know I had in the front office and the
Coach like I thought I was at a zero and then I thought I was at we were at rock bottom and we keep just digging a shovel digging with a shovel you know the thing is is that there are a lot of things that people can point out to us being
Like hey Detroit has like a lot of cap space and they’re going to get a possibly a top pick in this year’s draft even though it’s a weak draft even though people say it’s a weak draft it’s still a draft there’s still optimism there it it’s hard to be optimistic
About this team having like 68 plus dollars 68 plus million dollars it’s optimistic about this team having millions and millions of dollars in cap space however free agency just isn’t what it’s not the same right it’s a little bit different now and there are a lot of free agents listed here that I
Would want I’m going to go down the list I would take Tobias Harris um that the thing is even if I say these things it’s one of those things where it’s like yeah the Pistons have money but do this does this player want to go to the Pistons
All right so the Pistons whoever they’re going to get is going to be it’s going to be seen as a massive overpay which I’m not interested in Gordon Hayward I could see Gordon Hayward and a piston Jersey and I will not be tuning in um but there are some players that I want
In terms of just like I would love for I would love for us to get um Nicholas claxon or Isaiah hardenstein I would love for us to if the Pistons got hartenstein I would be so happy because it would be a big that has defensive abilities that could possibly teach
Daren or something like that I would love for that to happen but I don’t think that that’s likely cuz I don’t trust this front office I just don’t trust this front office to be able to get this deal done Mason plumbley coming back maybe the thing is is that over
This offseason every wo J Shams tweet that starts with the Detroit Pistons will terrify me I’m not looking forward to it but that’s just where we are it’s just like you’ve lost the fan base Troy and Tom Gores and Monty Williams you’ve lost the fan base and it’s really hard
It’s really hard to get excited with all the pieces that are there it’s really hard to get excited when you have absolutely zero faith and trust that the front office is going to get things done and that’s what really just hurts as a piston fan knowing that we have this
Long off season there have been so many TV zooms of Kade Cunningham just being so sad that I feel like really bad I just wish I just wish that things were better but with this regime I just don’t know if they will and the thing is is
That every season the bar gets a little bit lower and they still Troy Weaver still finds a way to miss the bar the expectations are so in the ground and then Troy Weaver digs underground year after year after year I need him gone I think that that’s going to be the end of
My video today but thank you guys for tuning in as always I appreciate you I love you guys and thank you guys for supporting me and I really hope that the Pistons become better in the future or else I don’t know man I I just haven’t watched any Pistons basketball for like
The last week and a half two weeks cuz I got we got March Madness we got baseball starting I’m getting back into baseball which will be another video where I talk about my love for baseball and why I left baseball and why I’m back but that’s another video that’s coming later
And also keep on watching the 2K wha ifs I think those videos will be like 30 minutes to an hour nice chill 2K rebuild builds I appreciate if you guys watch that if not it’s all cool I will see you guys later love you bye

Pistons vs Wizards in a 7 game series for the #1 pick😬😭😂
pistons have finally broke my bro 🙁
You want Hartebstein, wait for Troy Weaver to give Luke Kornet a bag instead
I wouldn't worry to much about the players and how they fit until the Pistons get a coach that knows how to make a proper rotation. This team should have 25-30 wins but Monty is actively sabotaging games.
Related to Thomson, didn’t blood clots force Chris Bosh out of pro basketball?
