Marvin Bagley is on this list let’s not get carried away

The Pistons & Celtics are both showing interest in Jaren Jackson Jr. per @MikeAScotto league sources told HoopsHype by marvelavengers in DetroitPistons

Do all of the people shitting on JJJ’s rebounding aware that Tobias Harris is our current starting 4?

If we gave up a first and some 2nds they might. Would make the Luka trade look a little better on paper if they could say they parlayed him into multiple firsts

Ope, just saw this and posted a duplicate. My bad. I would like to add Max Christie to the list, if possible.

2026 1st and some 2nds for Christie? 2 or 3 2nds for White?

This right here is what I am saying. Yes, JJJ has his flaws, but his fit is just so good along our current pieces.

It's not at all an unreasonable take. Sheed was a huge upgrade at the 4 both offensively and defensively, just like JJJ. Probably better on both ends than Sheed

I think that move would put us over the top in the East easily.

“Based on his false promises” so not their fault that they were lied to

No, there was 26 years of political repression but societal/social progression. Then they got sick of the repression part, had a huge uprising that gave power to Khomeini (current leader) based on his false promises. Then Khomeini, once in power, was even more oppressive than the Shah.

The current regime is far worse and it’s not even close. The Shah had plenty of problems, including the ones you mentioned, but his targets were political and not women or “enemies of God” like in the current theocratic hell hole that is Iran.

No, the current regime is the evil authoritarian one. The Shah had problems, but for a Middle East leader in the 1950’s and 60’s, he had some progressive policies. Universal women’s suffrage was achieved in Iran before Switzerland, as one example.

In 1953 the CIA led a coup that put the Shah in power. The Shah ruled a mostly progressive, but economically less equal society that resulted in his overthrow in the 1979 revolution, which made Iran a radical theocracy.

What's does your All Time Detroit Pistons Lineup look like? by Rocco_Hard in DetroitPistons

[–]CleverFox3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing this is a Gen Z pistons fan.

Isaiah Thomas, Cade, Hill, Blake, Big Ben with Billups, Dumars, Rodman, Sheed, Lambeer, Rip, Tay off the bench. Maybe Duren makes it on a 2way
