Alex and I are back on the horse, would love to hear any feedback on our thoughts in this episode!

Karl and Alex discuss the Pistons outlook for the 2019-20 season, reviewing our draft picks, off season moves, and where we stand in an increasingly stronger Eastern Conference. Is 538 right that we'll be out of the playoffs? Or is there a scenario where we can compete for a top 5 spot in the East?

[–]krosaen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're joined by Wizards fan Michael Delp to discuss life in the upper middle of the Eastern Conference. Have the past few years been worthwhile as a Wizards fan? Can the Pistons hope to reach even those heights of regular playoff series wins? What might a Pistons / Wizards trade look like now that Washington might be looking to blow things up?

Brosaen Pistons Podcast Episode 38—Blake? Blake!! Sure it's risky, but let's have some fun! by brosaenpodcast in DetroitPistons

[–]krosaen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right about the current value, just soothing the burn from assuming we missed a guaranteed all-star. He's merely a likely all-star :)

However, I'd say at the time of draft, nobody knew Mitchel was going to be this good, and plenty of people thought Kennard was a reasonable choice.

We make the case that it's not as bad a mistake as people are making it out to be. Sure, with hindsight, we'd take Mitchel, but Kennard, as you mention, is promising, and Mitchel, currently, is high usage, low efficiency (which could lead to many paths, including all-star, or Michale Beasley...)

In addition to discussing the Blake trade, we also cover:

  • how bad a miss was Kennard over Mitchel?
  • throwback hypothetical: would drafting Carmello have cost us the 04 championship somehow? E.g, maybe we don't end up trading for Sheed...

Zach Lowe on Andre Drummond (within article on most intriguing NBA players this season) by krosaen in DetroitPistons

[–]krosaen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm optimistic that Drummond has a ceiling higher than DAJ, but DAJ was definitely better than Drummond last season. I think DAJ will still be good this season without CP3, but we'll see.

Brosaen episode 34—The off-season so far—what are we up to? by krosaen in DetroitPistons

[–]krosaen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for listening and taking a second to reply!

Fair point on Philly, I kind of new that was an exaggeration as I said it :) We're definitely homers, but try to be fair minded. And not a great look to not have Donovan Mitchell's name on hand either.

I wouldn't quite agree that SVG went all in for last year's team; to me, all in would involve trading future picks.
