1984Echoes

Refs have already been ****ing the Pistons. Three straight drives Duren scores THROUGH Gobert's arms not one ****ing call. Gobert was all over him... A ticky-tack touch on Randle = foul called on the Pistons. The Refs are trying to **** us this game.

OUCH!!!

4 years running...

That is the difference between the MLB player's union and the NFL player's union...

I think this year's #15 pick is more valuable to the Detroit Pistons than 2027 and 2029 1sts (with protections) ... IMO.

Caris LeVert would be high on the list of salaries to dump. He's making near-$15 mill next year. And would be an easy guy to replace with someone better... If we're looking to move $30 mill... I guess that could include Stew. But the team LOVES him so I'm not so certain. I like your logic though... and if the right trade were available maybe they do that trade... but for who? Tyler Herro? Someone else? In a 3-way so Miami gets Giannis and we get Herro and the Bucks get our 2 guys...? I would think the Bucks would prefer Herro over Stew & LeVert so that's not doable... Just thinking out loud here...

Also... I would guess that the signing bonus is for the entirety of the contract. I'm giving a guy a $20 mill signing bonus to play for my team for the next 5 years. If he plays 3 and then retires... He's only earned 3/5 of that signing bonus, and owes back $8 mill for contractual non-performance. ... I'll get off of my business-law soapbox now...

Do it. Future 1st for the #15. Same here. Do-everything-PF... including having some range. I want Yaxel. Or Cedric Cenac Jr. (similar to Jaren Jackson Jr. per scouting reports...) At 15 and 21 we could get a couple players that can hit a 3. How about a stretch-4/5 in Henry Veesaar? If Langdon could pull OKC's #15 1st rounder this year... it could really set this team up in the near future. Based specifically on that... I would guess OKC doesn't even want to deal with Detroit. Not in their best interest.

"Look in the mirror, dude".

Seriously!!!

Please Mize... More of this!

No one was covering 1B so McG beat it out fair and square. If the 1B'man would have thrown home it's possible they would have ruled it fielders choice. File it under "you snooze (2B'man) you lose".

Yeesh! 5-0 in the blink of an eye. Bill the Cat would say "Pffffttthhht!!!" Or at least: "PFAADT!!!"

PS: Awesome IF chop single by McGonigle! No play possible, scores the run. Noone covered 1B. Not that I'm hoping he gets gobs of hits like this... it would indicate some struggles centering the pitch... but in this instance, it worked.

Opposing picture is B. Pfaadt? I have visions of Bill the Cat dancing around inside my head...
