freeling. plenty of DE's later in the draft who can crush a pocket.

wait....what?

billy donovan just hit the market. he'll be orlando's first call. another big possibility is the knicks. mike brown could be out real quick if they get bounced in rounds 1 or 2 and someone with donovan's resume is available (overrated resume, imo, but a resume nonetheless). milwaukee is a poisoned chalice. theyre going to dump giannis and be bad for a while.

"this is something i didnt think i would have to be talking about." you dont have to talk about it. you chose to go on tv and talk about it because theyre paying you a lot of money.

1) it doesnt matter what happens this year because theyre going to pay duren. hope for continued growth. 2) i'm not sure they are focusing more on duren than just packing the lane because the pistons cant shoot, and taking away the pick and roll. that's not "focusing on duren" to me and rather focusing on taking away a huge part of DETROIT'S offense. you can say that's just as much focusing on cade. the dofference being cade is able to do other things. duren is only able to roll to the basket and get lobs from cade. he cant create his own shot. he cant score when other teams set out to stop the pistons pick and roll. 3) if they really are "focusing on duren", it shows how easy it is to stop him. as opposed to cade. to me that shows duren as a replaceable player, not an irreplaceable max contract player.

proctor's got issues. no thank you.

I think they should now know who needs to get paid (ausar) and who needs to have someone else pay them (duren).

seems right except for stew's minus 11. but that could be garbage time and him being saddled with playing too many minutes with jenkins.

yikes. same thing here with loyola and depaul. girl just got murdered at loyola.

Roll Tide. that campus is ridiculous.

i wonder if they will come out and aggressively trap the whole game next time? especially when cade is off the floor. still nothing from duren. he's so dependent on cade for any offense. i bet if paul reed played his minutes with cade, he'd put up similar numbers. good to see duncan get going. cadd is the whole team, but ausar is the straw that stirs the drink. makes them go on defense. him and stew. i want apologies from all the daniss jenkins uber fans. he's a nice story, but he cant hang when the other team turns up the heat. getting another ball handler at the deadline would have been nice. there were plenty available.

what's wrong with isiah's eyes?

cause jenkins cant handle the pressure and they have no other ball handler.

that's got to be a tech on suggs

putting jenkins in with the lead under 20? risky jb, risky.

get cade some rest.

the only pistons who should have their numbers retired are isiah, dumars, laimbeer, chauncey, ben wallace, dave bing, and lanier.

this is much better. defense to offense.

heurter could be that guy, but his shooting hasnt been too great for the last couple years.

I think Thompson does create their offense through his defense. But you have to have SOME spacing out there or else cade is going 1-5. let ausar crash from the dunker spot. tobias has to play better and at least be a credible threat from 3. or put green in there. there have been a whole lot of surprising results so far. i expect the pistons to shoot better tonight and win, but it wouldnt surprise me if they dont. how many 39 point cade games can we expect?

i dont want ep40. but the amount of smoke there means they are interested.

i dont care what they do, as long as i dont have to see another retread veteran with no skills on a top line with larkin and raymond. you want to take advantage of skill? get a skilled player like ep40. you want someone to dig in the corners but still have some playmaking skill to match? move kasper up or go get a bigger guy with some speed who can stay with those two.

EP40 - Larkin - Raymond Debrincat - Copp - Kane Lombardi - Kasper - Mazur James - Compher - MBN you lose danielson in the trade plus a pick and ras. re-sign kane.

that's the meanest thing you've ever said to me. 😞

where do we fit danielson, mazur, mbn, lombardi, and james next year? they'll have to dump ras, appleton, and compher. not easy to do with their production/contracts. unless, as some have posed, youre sending them as salary makeweights pkus prospects in a bigger deal for ep40. i think jason offered up that possibility.
