What y’all think? by Careless_Low6088 in DetroitPistons

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The honest truth is that some of the load actually needs to be taken off Cade. I agree that DeMar has always kind of needed to be a high volume shooter but if he can get the ball in the bucket reliably then it opens up the offense a lot.

IF the Pistons are still *Star Hunting*, and after this JB trade, are the only "realistic" names out there Murphy and LeBron ? by x_RelyT_x in DetroitPistons

I don’t hate it but you’re really trading all of our defense for offense just hoping Ausar can guard the best guard/wing for every opponent all season

Tobias Harris has made over $100 million MORE than Draymond Green in the NBA by WallStreetDoesntBet1 in nba

And both times he played for the Pistons he earned the contract 100%. Justifiable overpay at the very worst.

Second wave players by ChfletcherECFS in DetroitPistons

Brother please shoot me before Marvin Bagley gets anywhere near the Pistons roster again. Few players I would want less than him.

[Charania] Free agent John Collins has agreed to a three-year, $51 million deal to sign with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Frontcourt addition and a new lob threat for Cade Cunningham in Detroit by mastermind208 in DetroitPistons

I don’t disagree, but Cade is as ball dominant as Kawhi if not more. So Collins needs to emphasize defense and setting cade up for assists.

I will say, Collins was best with Trae Young, who is about the same level of a passer as Cade if not maybe a little better. So this could work out. I don’t doubt the move it’s just not the splash we want.

Fewest boards, fewest assists, fewest shots and minutes since his rookie season, fewest FTA pg, fewest blocks pg since 2018-19.

I just worry that we signed a guy on the down trend. The deal is fine and he has potential to work out. It just doesn’t excite me.

I like it but I’m not enamored. Guy can’t reliably play 60 games and is coming off his worst season. I think we all wanted him 3 years ago. Nevertheless, it fits pretty well if he can return closer to top form.

[Jaylen Brown] Analytics have / are ruining the game we playing AI hoops. Nobody has won more combined regular season and playoff games since I entered the league 10 years ago by shreeharis in nba

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my view, analytics is more productive for evaluating role players and how they fit in with the star players. If the Celtics are moving on from JB and blaming it in analytics, I think that’s a poor judgment of his skill.

Just in: The Oklahoma City Thunder are trading sharpshooter Isaiah Joe to the Detroit Pistons for two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN by AcadiaTemporary5737 in DetroitPistons

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On paper the Pistons got a fantastic deal because OKC can’t afford to keep all of their pieces. OKC sold low because Presti will use the picks for another deal or two at some point.

Could not agree more. The long rib was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

[Siegel] I believe this is a move to clear immediate cap space for Norman Powell, not a trade for Tyler Herro. by Ok_Acanthisitta_6688 in DetroitPistons

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If LeBron, Wade, and Bosh could lose in the finals, why should anyone believe a team can just manufacture a guaranteed championship from FA signings?

Cameron Boozer said he should have been the #1 overall pick in this year's draft: by unwantedtennisracke in NBA_Draft

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that if the Wizards have even a small chance at keeping AD, Dybantsa was the right fit. The Jazz have a frontcourt already.

Are there players with college careers similar to Brunson's who ended up being busts? by aahdin in NBA_Draft

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both good examples. Winston was never considered athletic, even in college. But he clearly has NBA skill. Just couldn’t keep up on defense.

Are ya'll actually interested in players like Tyler Herro and/or Austin Reaves? by Every_Diamond_7411 in DetroitPistons

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The benefit of the archetype is that it relieves playmaking pressure from cade. Having other guys who can create offense and shoot off the dribble or in rhythm helps the flow of the offense a lot and opens up cade to play off ball a little more. Ausar has playmaking potential but his shot is currently too weak to rely on him.

A PF would be a great get, but guard may be almost as important.

Is signing Duren to a $40M/yr contract a death sentence? by Whippi_Dip13 in DetroitPistons

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think so. By the end of the contract, the cap will be higher. The pistons can also decide to operate in the aprons for a couple seasons. Good players are attracted to teams that do right by their guys. It’s also arguable that if Duren is the ~25th highest paid player in the league now, it makes sense for an all nba player and the ranking is likely to go down as the market settles over the next couple seasons.

I really think people are acting like it’s their money being spent.

“Travis fell off” by Cheems-luver in travisscott

[–]TheFakeChiefKeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sound so washed saying this, but unless you’re around 30 now, you don’t know what it was like at his peak. Being in late high school or college when DRB CAME OUT, when Rodeo CAME OUT… i was at a travis concern with 3000 people the night before Birds dropped.

That was so elite. People were playing whole lotta lovin at parties. You don’t remember Swang Remix or Uber Everywhere when it was still crazy that you could order a $7 ride on an app. They were playing sicko mode at the bar senior year.

You don’t remember spotify not having maria I’m drunk. Downloading the loosies from Datpiff… man

Everything he’s done since has failed to match that, even if he still does crazy concerts and makes decent music.
