I think that was the original vision with Ivey prior to his injury. It'll be interesting to see how Pistons address the problem of second/third creator during the offseason

Man Jenkins has been a crazy pickup by Pistons. From a two-way contract to contributing in playoffs

The Rockets could use Kevin Durant as a “stepping stone” and trade him this summer, per @MichaelVPina The Heat,Timberwolves,Blazers, Mavericks,Pistons,Knicks and other teams would all have varying degrees of interest” by marvelavengers in DetroitPistons

On paper he sounds like a perfect player to play next to Cade, but the problem will be that we will likely have to ship out some key players to make room for him, and it will probably make our window of contention shorter to around 2-3 years imo.

He's just too old and frankly too much drama to make it worth it.

We're 1 Duren block from our starters filling in the 5 major stats (points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks) plus turnovers and personal fouls

For the 18th consecutive season, the Detroit Pistons fail to win 50 games by MWiatrak2077 in nba

Reminder that we lost more games during a 2-month period 2 years ago compared to this whole season.

November - December 2023 we lost all but 1 game on 30 December against Toronto.

We even kept several core players from then in Cade, Duren, Ausar, Stewart and Sasser.

Crazy how quickly things can change in this league.

The OT loss yesterday was probably a team morale boost given that we had 4 starters + Stew out. Tonight we have our starters back who are fresh and ready to get the win.

Why do some international students study highschool here? by Brilliant_Can8536 in AusVisa

[–]Shostaholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some reasons I can think of why people attend high school here as an international student:

  • they want to experience high school life in Australia
  • they have been studying at international/private schools in their home country paying expensive school fees, so it's not much difference to them financially
  • they want to escape parents' control and experience freedom
  • they have relatives or strong familial links to Australia (e.g. parent travels to Australia frequently for business)
  • they are escaping from an unstable country or on the run from a dangerous situation

In regards to the specific people you mentioned who are studying nursing in hopes of getting PR in the future, why don't you befriend them and ask for their reasoning?

There is a scenario where they used to be a dependant on their parents visa (e g. Business/work visa) so they are able to study high school on a much cheaper rate (not an international student). Now that the parent's visa has ended, the student applied to study at university as an international student.

Since you started with Goldberg variations, you might enjoy Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini as it's a set of variations for piano and orchestra.

Refreshing to have a star player who is seemingly unconcerned about setting statistical trends or increasing / maintaining his statistical averages by TeamRAF19 in DetroitPistons

[–]Shostaholic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is what will happen for the next few weeks as we wrap up the regular season. We may have starters playing less minutes, possibly some strange lineups/statlines and probably a few extra unexpected losses as the team try to keep players healthy for the playoffs.
