There's still room, hop in. But don't drink the Flint water.

Let's go!

I'd be more convinced if they didn't just fall into the 9 spot before the ASG.

They've looked bad as of late. Maybe trading Jennings and putting Blake back in the mix and adding the new guys will help.

I however remain skeptical even though I am on board just in case.

[Mass Debator]

They're taking a step in the right direction. However, they're missing at least 1 piece for me to even consider them a contender. Maybe that 1 piece is another year under the entire squad (especial Stanley's growth), but another point guard is really needed right now.

[Levity]

has blake really been as bad for det as ive been reading on here? after his season or two with Nash, i felt his game really came along and matured. and would be great for an offense that DET runs.

[embersyc]

Blake hasn't been bad, he is nothing special either though.

has blake really been as bad for det as ive been reading on here? after his season or two with Nash, i felt his game really came along and matured. and would be great for an offense that DET runs.He started off the season really rough. But then again, he suffered a concussion during the first week of training camp and missed most of the preseason with a new ballclub, so he may have just needed to get his feet under him.

He's had some good moments since emerging out of that tough opening stretch, but he still scares me a little when facing faster guards who are very aggressive on both sides of the ball (Dennis Schroder types).

It also seems some squads have successfully bumrushed him in the backcourt or early in the offense.

If there's no waiver options, we may also be seeing the return of Spencer Dinwiddie.

I'm on board. Les goooooo!!!

[FreezingTsmoove]

I'll pass on this because of the high crime rate, and violence in Detroit

[DukeDelonte13]

Love the moves they are making.

Love the young core they got.

I'm on.

[Kobe_6/8]

Drummond - 23
Pope - 23
Jackson - 25
Johnson - 19
Harris - 23


They have a solid young core, I think they'll make the playoffs. Van Gundy made the finals building a team around a Center.

[Duderonomy]

Damn 0-2 since the ASB

[PJR]

Their young core isn't very good. Outside of Drummond and Stanley Johnson, I wouldn't want anyone on that team on my mean playing a major role going forward.

[Done_And_Done]

They've made notable strides in the short time that SVG has been at the helm and while these improvements might not have translated into real successes as of yet, his impact is one that cannot be denied. The Pistons look to be in real good hands right now. I fully expect them to be competing in the 5-6 seed range next season... Only going up from there

[Chadwin]

You picked the right size cruise ship for it.:lol

Thinking about drafting Buddy Hield with Detroit's pick B^)

There's a chance that trade will be voided

I'm happy for the Detroit fans. I like this young team

[hold this L]

Needs to stay 7th for the Raptor game. Don't see them beating Cavs obviously.

Just wish DrummGOAT was (much) better at FTs, it's tragic the best player gets benched in the 4th when they desperately need him. :facepalm

Luckily Baynes is better than a lot of team's starters at C, but yes 1/10 freethrows is an embarrassment, at this point Andre doesn't need a shooting coach as much as he needs a psychiatrist.

[hold this L]

Yeah I agree. He has to be practicing them by quite a large number before and after practice, at least I would hope so. At this point it must be mental more than just bad accuracy.

[PistonsFan#21]

We got Miami twice, Cavs, Magic and Wizards to finish the year. Really hope we can hold the 7th spot and get Raps instead of Cavs in the 1st round
