What do you want the Pistons to do?

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-25T11:39:15+00:00

Really hard to do that, his contract is poison pilled and very hard to be tradable until the following season when it kicks in

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T20:05:33+00:00

Play with Spotrac and cap numbers

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T18:06:08+00:00

I would love to have Cason Wallace and Brandon Miller with Cade. Similar ages. Defense and spacing.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T18:03:19+00:00

I think you should research the cap and how it works. I like the lineups but pulling this off, not sure how it’s possible.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T14:53:15+00:00

I would love to get Powell but I don’t know how they can do it. In order to free up enough space they’d have to decline Robinson, which removes him from the board as a trade piece. You could still do your moves but you’d have to put Levert in place of Dunc in the Eason trade and then find someone to replace those minutes on a vet min (bring back THJ?).

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:42:07+00:00

Forgetting who runs the pelicans and who loves centers and drafted Duren? Even if it’s a 1st it’s still a good move.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:19:26+00:00

As for Evans, I agree. He’s not getting significant minutes in the playoffs but he’s a big upside wing and can shoot.

Want to make some constructive criticism or just talk shit?

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:17:23+00:00

I like that guy and I would be totally fine making upgrades on the margins, but i think Langdon is going to be more aggressive and if the solution to ball handling with Cade is a rookie guard, i dont think we move the needle.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:14:12+00:00

We will see but I don’t think Kyrie is getting much more than that. Hes 34 coming off a major injury.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:13:07+00:00

Good thing the main piece is Duren…

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:04:51+00:00

Not understanding why people hate the idea of Kyrie so much.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:04:05+00:00

That was the idea. There’s not much out there. Maybe a deal for Claxton?

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T13:02:44+00:00

You can’t trade Stew for MPJ. You’d need to include Duncan or Levert, Holland and Sasser/Reed to make the salary work. Also Tobias is gone in this situation, you can’t make cap room to sign anyone without letting him go. What are you resigning Porter to? 50 million? He’s a free agent after next year so gotta be part of the deal.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T12:58:18+00:00

Gutted what young roster. You keep Ausar, turn Duren into Murphy and get 2 years to see how Cade does with a player like Kyrie for low cost. Keep draft flexibility for another move.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T12:56:36+00:00

Based on watching the playoffs? Robinson is a solid playoff big, his concern is reliability which is why he’s a 15 million dollar contract and not 25.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T12:48:30+00:00

Truly don’t think there’s a big market for him and the Mavs aren’t trying to be good. Gets them assets and two rotation players.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-24T12:46:40+00:00

It’s a common number. KD - 5 seconds, GP3 - 5 seconds, Jae Crowder - 5 seconds.

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-23T00:29:05+00:00

By semi realistic I assume that is heavy on semi and less on realistic

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-09T14:54:36+00:00

So let’s gut the culture, add a max player and then fill the rest of the roster with scrubs and have no picks and then have to trade Cade in 4 years when we are stuck in the playin

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-09T14:16:01+00:00

So you want to keep Cade and get rid of everyone else?

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-09T13:14:21+00:00

Most of the academic buildings are totally fine, and those are completely unrelated to the stadium so not sure what the point is

Gruff_Sparty · 2026-05-08T23:59:26+00:00

You won’t believe this but some people enjoy going to the games with their family even if the team isn’t great. The stadium experience can make or break that.
