2022 Pistons Offseason

i hated jordan poole when he was at michigan and im a michigan fan.  john beilein wasnt a big fan of poole's either.  there's just something about him that seems to rub everyone the wrong way.

that said, everyone knows draymond is an ass hole.  he's been an ass hole forever.

i see killian and his "revised shooting mechanics" left off at the same point as last year.

Victor was going #1 before these two games and is going #1 after.  The real winner this week was Steeve Ho You Fat.  The amount of people in the US ordering jerseys with "Ho You Fat" on the back.  I hope Ho You Fat gets a piece of each sale.

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not but I think you now have to pay for Bally's streaming service even if you have a cable/satellite package with them. 

I'm not 100% on that but I saw some Pacers fans I follow on Twitter say that is the case with Indy so I imagine it's the same here. 

[Deleterious]

So glad I can buy that app this year.

Last year I ended up getting DirectTV streaming for $85 a month just to watch Pistons games.  That was on top of YouTubeTV at $84 a month.  So being able to stream games for $20 a month is going to be nice, assuming the app isn't garbage.

Yeah definitely a good deal in that regard it just kinda sucks for somebody like me who is a cable subscriber but would sometimes stream the games if I was at the gym or had some down time when working the late shift.

Your cable company doesn't offer streaming?

DirecTV was stabbing only so I don't see how they could stop it. I mean they don't have to let you on the app but you could still stream it from the DirecTV site.

Unpopular opinion.

If Santa is sliding down your chimney and the Pistons are already out of the playin game, shut it down and tank hard.  Going after Victor or Scoot is worth it.  Even if you miss 3-7 is full of really good prospects.

Looking at the schedule, it's going to be a pretty rough start to the season. That combined with a bunch of new (and young) pieces means that the record will be terrible come the holidays. I can't argue with your logic, but I get the feeling that there's a little pressure (maybe from Gores, not sure) to win and be more competitive this year, so I can't see them shutting it down.

I'd also question what "shutting it down" means when you're already running a roster of mostly 19-23 year olds. Maybe you could move Bojan and Burks, but I don't think you want to hold Cade and Ivey out of any significant number of games in such crucial development years.

But don't worry, just having Casey at the helm will keep us in the running for a good draft spot.

there are going to be so many teams tanking HARD this year.  the end of the season will be such a joke.

[Deleterious]

I figured he was fine on the unregistered weapon.  But they can get a little squirrely sometimes when the serial number is filed off.  I thought they might stick it to him on that.

Felony charges against former top recruit Emoni Bates to be dismissed

So this would have been Bates first year eligible for the draft.  Him, Scoot, and Victor would have made one of the best top 3 prospects ever if he had lived up to the hype.

having watched some preseason games, i can see why.

its a good number because they might finish slightly over if they dont go full on tank mode late in the year.

cause there are going to be lots of other teams in full on tank mode, that's for sure.

okc might put their entire roster on ir for the whole season and just forfeit.

These are going to be a lot more expensive than listed because of the salary cap tax.
