did he really miss a game for load management? that cant be right.

i wasnt expecting them to sign anyone, i was expecting them to use their cap space to get assets. but they didnt even meet that small bar. yet. there is still time and its possible they hold on to the space and use it to facilitate trades later in the year. i do remember being excited about ben gordon which always serves as a good reminder that i am dumb.

remember all the beat writers telling us for years that the pistons were in a great position to add talent because they had cap space and teams would have to unload good players to stay below the apron/second apron/cap/whatever? yeah, we got tobias harris and tim hardaway jr out of it. four years of the worst basketball in franchise history to overpay tobias harris and trade a young player for tim hardaway jr.

summer league games are fun but mean nothing. that said, i didnt think holland looked like anything special. the form on the shot looked ok. he looked bigger than i thought he would.

considering he's about 5'8, perhaps he is just half a player?

you have a problem.

welcome to nba athletes, sarr and risacher. its a little bit different than what youre used to.

his wife has a job and career there. they have kids, i think. he didnt want to uproot them. i have no problem with that.

the ratings arent even that great and their biggest stars are reaching retirement age. i dont get that contract. there will come a point where the streaming services are established, the funding runs out, and they start consolidating and making decisions based on cost. any sport other than the nfl might be in trouble then. nba basketball is also pretty bad until the playoffs start. the one thing they do have over other american sports is the international appeal. its probably the third most popular sport behind soccer and formula 1 (not counting cricket because that's so dependent on its status as the only sport the largest country on earth watches).

its click bait. ignore it.

"if he can stay healthy" is doing a lot of work there...

unless flagg drops to #5, i have bad news for trajan...

best move the pistons have made in a long time.

https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/prospects-feed/posts/top-five-prospect-systems-in-nhl-01j2406am40w 1. Detroit Red Wings Steve Yzerman must be praised for his rebuilding efforts in Detroit. The Red Wings haven't made the postseason in nearly a decade, but that could change in 2024 with the number of high-level prospects in their system. They have two of my top-10 prospects in the league in Nate Danielson and Simon Edvinsson, but it doesn't stop there.

they'll win 28 games and he'll write an article about the MASSIVE improvement and doubling their win total.

JEiii with his first kiss ass trajan article of the year. he's so patient. he signed solid pros. he didnt spend all of their cap space like some people would have done. its very funny considering he used to kiss troy weaver's ass too. maybe this will lead to some articles about how the pistons just need X player to come back from injury and it will all be good, just like he used to write all the time about....checks notes... isaiah livers.

3 years $75m for miles bridges in charlotte. at least now we know he'll have enough money to pay off his legal fees. maybe.

good thing the bulls didnt cash in on derozan last year. another smart decision based on clear, long term thinking.

that starting lineup would give up 40 points a quarter. but youre right, they would score more than last year.

no one is taking compher with his contract. he's here for a while.

shams reports pistons sign malik beasley. 1 year $6m. good deal.

"Detroit Pistons have also expressed interest in Beasley and have flirted with offering the 27-year-old guard a one-year deal. However, Detroit has held off for now amid trade discussions with other teams to act as a salary dump destination for draft pick compensation, league sources told HoopsHype." " Detroit Pistons flirted with the idea of offering Hield a one-year deal, but they instead chose to preserve cap space to be a potential salary dump destination for teams, league sources told HoopsHype" https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-rumors-demar-derozan-brandon-ingram-buddy-hield-malik-beasley-free-agency-trades/

i'd rather give danielson a try than give up assets to trade for (and then pay) necas and zegras.

it will definitely cost them votes.

i'm counting on raymond to become a 40 goal guy next year. or close to it.
