Please don't do something dumb like going after Klay.

Saw this posted somewhere else.

Over the last 83 games - one game longer than a full season - the pistons are 5-78.  What is that uhhhh about a 6% winning percentage.

i wont really care until they have another losing streak close to 28 games OR when they get close to breaking the sixers' record for worst single season record of all time.

it will be funny when they do it and no one gets fired.

They'll go after Draymond Green.

I've watched every game since 2001, even with this losing streak. But this might be the thing that pushes me over the edge.

[Motown Bombers]

I don't know, I think the Pistons could use a player like Draymond to punch them in the face and knock some sense into them.

If it means I get to watch Beef Stew break Draymond over his knee, then I'm in. Otherwise, no thanks.

Is Wiseman available?  Asking for some friends….

[Deleterious]

These teams have beat more winning teams on the road than the Pistons have total wins this year.

 

[Deleterious]

Looks like Bagley is the C of choice tonight

[Deleterious]

Down 2 with 6 seconds left and they have the ball.

[gehringer_2]

as close as you can get.

i know were the worst team of all yime, but think about how bad we would be if we drafted jalen green instead of cade.

[gehringer_2]

Ivey missed 3 of his 4 FTs? And they lost by 2...../ sigh /

Missed opportunity not having the Thompson Twins perform last night at halftime.

Sometimes the little things come back to bite in the end.  There is this inexcusable event.

Or the free throw discrepancy of 22 out of 25 vs 10 of 16.

Or the points off of turnovers, 20 to 6.

This game was definitely stealing a loss from the jaws of victory.

[Deleterious]

There were some less than credible reports that Detroit was interested.

you read the pistons beat writers and theyre "definitely" looking to make a trade.  you read the national guys and they are barely mentioned at all for the murrays and siakems of the world.

the pistons cant trade a pick.  hard to make a deal here without a first round pick to deal.  in a way, maybe its good that troy hamstrung himself with the isaiah stewart deal?

if they do make a deal, i imagine it will be stewart to a contender for a late first rounder and maybe a young(ish) player the beat writers can hype as a diamond in the rough like they did with livers and morris.

Pistons are pretty much in a straight-jacket. They have no assets to trade. They can try to take on some bad contracts but that won't get them that far. There really isn't much they can do besides do their damnedest to turn Ivey and Duren into better players and keep pushing Cade to work on his 3pt shooting. Other than that it's wait through at least 2 more drafts to get a couple of real NBA players - and that only happens if they dump Weaver.

[casimir]

Hey, maybe it’s not as bad as it seems?  There’s only one way to go from here, right?

[buddha]

the pistons obviously need new leadership.  this is obvious to everyone except tom gores and that's why nothing will change.
