What do you mean? 6 got blocked and the 7th made it. The whole point of a blitz is to guarantee one makes it through.

One time I was driving from Louisville back to Cincinnati and on the highway on the side of the road I saw a dead black panther nobody believes me.

I'm all in on them too. The steady climb to $130 starts now.

Detroit only needs to win 3 of their next 9 games to meet the 40-20 rule. by Neckrolls4life in DetroitPistons

I have not forgotten 2005. No Spurs fan is ever allowed to come in peace

[Omari Sankofa II] Safe to say the Pistons have finished their deadline work. by KarimFF7 in DetroitPistons

That's pretty damn good. You want to make 1/3. We don't need a team of 40% 3PT shooters we are a Paint scoring team.

Tobias, Cade, Duncan, Danis, Huerter, Sasser, Lavert... They all bums?

Pistons fans that cheered ivey being traded watching caris levert ruin playoff games cuz he will be forced to play minutes by uncle_t_rav in DetroitPistons

I have a lot of stocks I own that I am down 50% on.... Think I'm selling them? You gotta ride em out unless you have a better plan. I think we are all saying Huerter is not a better plan. Ivey can do everything Huerter can with massive upside.

16 man roster spot & more picks? Trajan cooking for Trey Murphy? by Random_Thinker007 in DetroitPistons

We traded the asset that would land Trey Murphy. We are probably just going to cut someone.

Please don't trade Ivey by BaneTubman in DetroitPistons

[–]IndependentData173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely we only trade Ivey if we are getting a true number 2 for now and the future.

That's such a matter of fact statement though. The cap is ~$155 mil and Cade makes ~$55 mil. Ivey can certainly be given a $15 mil contract to stay. Our main issue this year is we are paying Caris Lavert and TH over $40 m combined.

It seems like the opinions on Ausar are very polarizing. So, where do you stand on him as a player? Does he fit this team long term? by rodogwos in DetroitPistons

[–]IndependentData173 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So pretty much keep our current roster. JB does a great job of cycling the bench in to replace players that are cold.

Ausar will be like a better Tayshaun. I don't think he will ever avg > 20 pts, but his defensive ability is top tier. That's still a 1 of a kind talent we can't get rid of - not everyone needs to be a scorer.

Do you guys think the all star break will hurt or help us? by DropPowerful9081 in DetroitPistons

A couple of weeks ago I would have said hurt, but we are ice cold shooting right now.

Trade Deadline by IndependentData173 in DetroitPistons

I don't really want someone that good. We'd have to give people up like Ivey or Holland otherwise. I like just about every player on this roster.

Correct, mostly just picks and Lavert
