  1. The season hasn’t started and we had a great offseason and the guys we drafted look good people just on the hype train dickriding hope you get your views

  2. They have pieces but can’t put it together. You look at rosters who have been worse on paper but still have churned out better seasons, you wonder where the Pistons even go from here

  3. Stop being so negative we do not know how the season is going to go with our new acquisitions but everybody wants to call Detroit the dumpster fire where there is another team maybe two other teams that’s in the same boat so stop putting down Detroit

  4. I disagree. They have a nice roster and a very good head coach. I expect major improvements from this team in 2024-25.

  5. It's always weird seeing voice only channels with the person behinds it hahaha JK tho. Keep up the great work! Your videos are very well done

  6. Being from Detroit I got to chime in , last season was absolutely a disgrace, all that losing to just get the 5th pick. I think we are in the right direction, we got probably the best coach to fix our biggest problem the pairing of Cade and Jaden, if Bickerstaff get those to be cohesive high scoring duo, get Jalen back on track defensively Detroit will do much better. I think the drafting of Ron Holland was a great pickup, dude is 6'8" quick defensive, pairing him with Ausar Thompson they both learn to shoot is kind of scary. Only thing I think will keep the Pistons from advancing is the lure of the 2025 draft is way too much talent to pass on.

  7. I don't agree. The Nets have a collection of random guys that they wont be able to trade for much, they also don't have anyone recently drafted they are excited about, they have a new coach, this GM group is considering 36 year old Jimmy Butler (probably on a max). To me unless they get very lucky and win the top draft pick, they will likely be bad for 4-5 years easily. At least Detroit has Cade. That's something

  8. Debatable… I give that more so to the Washington Wizards…

    The Pistons at least has some young pieces that makes me more confident in them… I have faith in Thompson and Holland (who could very well become Rookie of the Year). Cunningham is a good player but needs to improve on defense and get healthy. I do like a Duren as a defensive Center in the league on the contrary versus what HR said about him and I hope that their new coach figures out how to use Ivey.

    I do think them hiring former coach Monty Williams was a mistake, because I don't think he has a great track record with rallying younger players (hence his handling with Deandre Ayton).

    With Washington, they missed on draft picks, traded players that had some potential for little to no value, and signed veterans that aren't going to help them in the long term. Note, I am not that low on Sarr, but the Johnny Davis pick looks bad, especially with Jalen Williams being picked two picks later, Jalen Duren at 13th, Mark Williams at 15th and Walker Kessler at 22nd

    They drafted Corey Kispert when they picked him before Alfren Sengun, they traded away Deni Avdija, but in that draft they also could've drafted Haliburton, or Maxey.

  9. Hot take, Tobias Harris will be a very big part of the Pistons season and can be a border line all star this season

  10. The pistons is too young to a fault. Other than this year's addition (THJ, Harris, Reed, Beasley) the vet on the team is Isaiah Stewart. It's like their playing AAU games in the NBA. They're all very talented yes, but you can't just out-talent everyone in the NBA to succeed. Monty williams is also like the worst coaching hire you can possibly do. Believe me i know, i'm a magic fan, we hired frank vogel during our rebuild.

  11. I am so amazed how many guys come to the NBA w/no jumper…not even a small one. W/ that being said I want to believe in my Pistons. Cade is a great player. Should have drafted Dalton Knecht. Before Jalen Brown signed I wanted the Pistons to go after him maybe even Brandon Ingram. But I do think the team will be better, but they have to draft better period
