1/9/24 7PM Kings @ Pistons

[Deleterious]

Where is Bagley?  He is never listed on any injury reports.  He sucks but is better than Wiseman.  How do you give a guy $12.5m per and he can't get run on the worst team ever?   

How do you design a team that makes me beg for Marvin Bagley to get run?

team is desperate for wings.  i know!  lets trade one of the only ones we have for JAMES WISEMAN!

that's a trade so bad only a pistons beat reporter would defend it.

[Motown Bombers]

Good thing Monty Williams got the bag because he is never getting a head coaching job again.

True testament to how bad Wiseman and the pistons are. Fans are upset a below average player and shooter was traded.

ausar with three fouls in 5 minutes.  needs to be in the gleague.

Yes, he needs to be away from Monty Williams immediately. In fact, I would send any young player worth a damn to the G-League just to keep them away from the Monty Williams Black Hole of Suck until he's fired and if that takes a few years so be it. Just get them away from him before they're ruined forever.

How do you lead by 20 only to lose by 20...only possible explanation is...YOU SUCK!!

Zaccharie Risacher is a 6-9 wing hitting on 47% of his threes.  We may need some lotto luck to have a shot at him this summer

And before you say Weaver doesn't set the lineups.   You are correct.  But he hired the guy that does.  

[buddha]

isnt bagley hurt?  if not, there is no reason why wiseman is playing over him.

if he IS hurt, that's also not a surprise because he has always been hurt.

either way, its another trade that has not worked put for detroit.  because troy weaver is bad at his job.

Lyles has slightly higher WS/48 and VORP scores than Bagley since the trade.

Oh, and plus pickes were traded away as well.

Restoration, baby.

"Does anyone talk about this ever, like in film or practice?!"

 

[Motown Bombers]

I love this guy's videos. 

[buddha]

lyles isnt even very good, but he's more of the "theoretical" stretch player they need at that position.  lyles shoots 36-40% from 3.  bagley never shoots 3s and clogs the lane without doing anything you need from a player like that (rolling to the basket on pnrs, playing defense, blocking shots).

another "big man" weaver acquired based on draft pedigree and the fact that he's tall rather than actual ability or fit with his franchise cornerstone.

 

[Deleterious]

The new contract bothered me a lot more than the trade.
