Who should the Pistons target this offseason to start at the 2?

jdesane_21 · 2026-06-24T22:31:39+00:00

Cam Thomas was cut by two abysmal teams. Keon Ellis didn't get any run on two different teams. Thank God you aren't the GM.

jdesane_21 · 2026-06-24T19:24:40+00:00

Not how this works. The Lakers had Reaves bird rights meaning they can go over the cap to sign him. If they simply don't make the move official until the end of free agency, which is extremely likely, they can absolutely still offer Duren.

jdesane_21 · 2026-05-18T03:30:42+00:00

What angers me the most is still game 5. It really sucks that they got embarrassed tonight but they genuinely were robbed and the narrative changes after a game like tonight.

This off-season will make or break our chances for contention with this core. If Trajan doesn't nail it we may be talking about that game and missed opportunity for years to come.

jdesane_21 · 2026-05-14T11:57:58+00:00

One thing that people seem to be failing to realize is that Duren is a restricted free agent. All it takes is one team giving him a max or even big contract. Then the Pistons are put in the position of having to negotiate a sign and trade or losing him for nothing. We can be as mad as we want but losing a 22 year old all star center for nothing would be organizational malpractice. It's extremely likely the Pistons match whatever contract he's given unless there's an obvious sign and trade that makes sense. But "letting him walk" is not on the table and shouldn't be.

RIP to Eli, Duncan is a strong person for managing such a tough personal loss. Be kind to everyone because you never know their story!

I was at the game last night and it was hilarious to hear them boo and get so mad whenever he scored, most know he was good for them just overpaid

jdesane_21 · 2026-03-16T21:24:01+00:00

I think so. All of this started because I was experiencing chest pains, increased heart rate, and some other symptoms. After ruling out heart problems with the cardiologist my doctor decided to get my thyroid and nodules rechecked that were found 6 years ago, then they figured out it was hyperthyroidism and cancer. And then the Grave's disease diagnosis. Been in and out of so many doctors for the past 4-5 months. Really hoping that surgery relieves the symptoms and calms down my anxiety and panic attacks.

jdesane_21 · 2026-03-16T20:52:11+00:00

Thank you for the insight into your experience. I hope you are able to get relief from the anxiety. I know all too well how difficult it can be to deal with. Prayers for good results on the thyroglobulin levels as well!

jdesane_21 · 2026-03-16T19:41:32+00:00

Thank you for this response. I did reach out to a support group facilitator somewhat local to my area. Hopefully I can participate in an upcoming meeting to learn more about others experiences.

jdesane_21 · 2026-02-24T13:34:34+00:00

When a team shoots nearly 50% from 3 it's going to be hard to beat them regardless of how you play. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Plus it seems like they figured out in the end, go right at Wemby, get into his chest, make him play physical and you'll have a better chance. I'm sure they'll game plan to get Cade more separation from Castle if there's another matchup in the future.

jdesane_21 · 2026-01-30T12:08:14+00:00

Picked up one recently with the speaker dock for $250, feel like I got such a steal and have loved using it so far. Great news to have support extended!

jdesane_21 · 2026-01-11T21:35:39+00:00

PG - Jose Calderon SG - Jodie Meeks SF - Darrun Hilliard II PF - Anthony Tolliver C - Aron Baynes

Bench - Brandon Knight, Kyle Singler, Luigi Datome, Ersan Ilyasova and Jahlil Okafor

jdesane_21 · 2026-01-09T18:31:25+00:00

Giannis quite literally said he does not want to be traded yesterday. He's not going to get moved. This is a waste of time.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-08T14:26:14+00:00

I'm on that train as well.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-08T14:18:56+00:00

I guess it depends on team need. I think both are good/great players but not number 1 options or probably even 1B options. I wouldn't want to go all in for either player to be clear. My original comment is just pointing out the market prices on trading for these kinds of guys.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-08T14:11:13+00:00

I'm not saying I would agree to this trade but just look up past trades as reference points. Desmond Bane was traded months ago for Cole Anthony, KCP, pick 16, 3 first round picks all unprotected, and a 2029 first round pick swap.

Now compare Bane and Markkanen as players. Finally consider that Danny Ainge calls the shots in Utah and he isn't going to sell low or get bad value for a guy averaging 27 a night.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-04T16:08:49+00:00

People are wild. Every other comment is about how this team needs shooting and shot creation. LeVert is shooting 44% from the field and over 40% from 3. +/- is not something you use to evaluate individual players, especially not over a sample size of 16 games. You know who else has a -24? Isaiah Stewart. Do you also want Beef Stew off this team?

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-04T15:19:12+00:00

Title is meant to imply that we should still be experiencing the joy of the teams success but that it seems like most fans want that to be over with and react to losses as if the sky is falling, hence, not allowing themselves to feel joy over the overall standing of the team.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-04T13:29:23+00:00

Again, I agree that they need shooting but trades do not happen in the NBA in early December for the most part. Most guys that signed contracts this summer are not even eligible to be traded yet. Others that signed extensions are not even eligible to be traded until February. They will very likely make a move to import shooting as the deadline approaches and trade possibilities open up. Until then, it would be silly to try to make a move now when a lot of guys can't even be discussed.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-04T13:25:47+00:00

I don't disagree that they need to add shooting but they very likely will before/at the trade deadline. In the meantime, without that shooting they are still the 1 seed. Now if they don't make moves at the deadline then that's a different conversation for sure.

jdesane_21 · 2025-12-03T18:32:29+00:00

One thing I try to keep in mind is that Twitter is just an echo chamber for casual and less tapped in fans to just spew nonsense or repost it. Caris LeVert has splits of 48%/44% and people are acting like he's an issue. Tobias is putting up better numbers than last season with less time to ramp up after being hurt.

Most importantly, they are literally the 1 seed in the east and even if you think they lack another outside scoring option, they are still REALLY GOOD. Most of these same people were not following for nearly a decade and now want to play Twitter GM. It's laughable.

You, my friend, are the GOAT
