2024 Free Agents The Detroit Pistons Could Target This Summer

2024 Free Agents The Detroit Pistons Could Target This Summer

I made a list maybe about two weeks ago of unrestrictive free agent uh targets I’d like to see the Pistons to go after and I’d like you to react to it to see if there’s any names on this list that you think is a possibility so put it put on the screen real quick all right monk I mean makes sense Claxton makes sense Trent J makes sense UB makes sense hartenstein makes sense Malik Beasley I mean like in theory makes sense but I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on Malik Beasley uh I like Derek Jones but I don’t think the Pistons have the infrastructure to make for Derrick Jones to thrive in like he has like how he is right now miles Bridges um that’s a tough one for me obviously I’m from Flint but and went to Michigan State but certainly I’m not sure he moves a needle enough to deal with the uh to deal with the things that he’s done and I don’t I don’t think he moves the needle first of all I don’t think moving the needle should be let me clarify that moving the needle either way shouldn’t necessarily excuse if somebody did what he did and and should be playing here uh but if you’re if you’re a team like the Pistons just coming off 14 wins The Worst season in franchise history have only won 31 games the last two years have dealt with um things like the the Rob Murphy incident I’m not sure that you can afford I don’t know if you have enough Goodwill built up to to go and get miles Bridges uh Andre Drummond I think will I think there’s yes I think Andre makes sense um would he come back to Detroit and be able to kind of find himself as the type of role player he has been the last few years and was successfully in Chicago if he came back to Detroit where he was once the star like I would assume so at this stage in his career but I think that’s something um they’d have to consider I if I believe either a year or two ago I think there was I think he was interested in coming back um if if I’m not mistaken Tobias Harris yeah I mean that’s another one I know people are torn on Tobias I also think a lot of people think that Tobias is getting a Max to come here I don’t don’t I don’t think that’s the case so I mean if you can get Tobias for 17 to 22 million a year on like a two or threee deal like I don’t I don’t see what’s so bad about that uh personally but yeah I don’t I don’t I agree with most of these names on this list and all of them are role players and I think that’s the Pistons biggest issue right now is they don’t have or that was their biggest issue this season is they tried out a lot of they tried to make a lot of role players they tried to make a lot of players role players who weren’t even role players um yeah and they just didn’t have enough NBA Talent on their roster and uh all those guys are NBA players and and have been for a while so yeah I like all those names yeah I mean that that list was really hard to uh come up with I like I I back and forth F miles Bridges I was like if I don’t put it it’s whatever if I do put it it’s going to you know piss people off and I understand that but I mean um I honestly think they’ll Target at least one person on that list that’s just my go feeling I don’t know if it’s gonna be like a monk or you know Gary Trent maybe even I didn’t include buddy heeld maybe they go after buddy heeld you never know they need shooting yeah and uh when was Buddy in New Orleans was that was that pre I think that was pre uh Griffin cran you might you might be right let me look it up yeah that had to be early on uh oh yeah that was 161 17 yeah that was his second he buddy got traded his first year in the league hold on yeah oh was he part of the boogie trade he yeah I think he was 16 17 yeah cuz he went from New Orleans to second Sacramento mhm yeah that that Boogie TR was that I still remember that that trade was so wild that happened like 4 in the morning I was just like what wait didn’t that I thought that happened wasn’t that the trade where Boogie found out he was traded while at Allstar Weekend and that’s why they changed the rule I think so I’m not 100% I remember Langston Galloway was in that trade too I’ve talked to Langston about it if I’m not mistaken I think I think that’s the trade where Boogie was at Allstar doing his media session and he found out he was traded during the media session and then they made tra and then they changed the rule where um what’s what’s first now the deadline or the All-Star Game deadline right yeah pretty sure now the deadlines the All-Star games after the deadline now I think after that wow that’s that’s crazy I I still remember that trade though because I was like getting ready to go to bed I was like it’s 3: in the morning why am I getting a w notification like I was like what that that that’s crazy that was crazy um Boogie I missed I miss Prime Boogie shout out to Boogie he was fun as hell to watch yeah had a short Prime but man like he was really good then when when he was right I mean easy like 25 and 10 at night the couple blocks like carried me in fantasy for many years shout out to shout out to Boogie cousins man for sure for sure I I know you you said you have to go and I do appreciate you making the time like you
