those are pretty aggressive "shades" he's got there.

i assume this means they think a lot of simon edvinsson, because he's likely going to play up top with seider. sign an rhd and kane?

what kind of delusional soul wants to give al avila credit for the tigers' eventual turnaround? even 84lives has given up that ghost. avila is the worst gm the tigers have had in my lifetime. at least randy smith didnt trade hall of famers for peanuts.

baez doesnt play good defense anymore. the tigers will hope his injury is permanent so they can collect insurance on his contract rather than having to eat it all to get rid of him.

lol, and pistons fans were thinking isaiah stewart, a first and ivey would get it done.

i dont see the big deal with walman. he was a great find because they got him for nothing. he - almost more than anyone - was exposed in the ottawa fiasco last year. they targeted him with physical play and he could not handle it. he's a finesse player and he's injured. a lot. he was on a contract commensurate with his standing in the league: ok player who is injury prone and kind of soft for a dman. that said, attaching a premium asset to get rid of the deal doesnt make a ton of sense to me and leads me to believe the rest of the league doesnt see him the way some in the analytics community see him. waiting for the other shoe to drop on the deal.

well....i was right that they would move walman but i didnt think they'd get nothing in return.

well....they just traded that pick and jake walman...

i had high hopes for gibson. he's progressed well so far.

2012 and 2013 underachieved, imo. with that starting rotation and miggy in his prime?

ok defense, but a lot of sluggers. that was more of my point. they didnt build a team based on defense, contact, and using comerica's big dimensions.

i would like to see them try that. otoh, dombrowski put together the last tiger teams to win multiple american league pennants and he did it with a team of power hitters who were decidedly bad at defense at most major positions.

when were we at the same grocery store?

the rebuild began last year.

haha canada.

but but but MOMENTUM!

lol

i feel like scotty barnes has been overrated since franz wagner bitch slapped him in the ncaa tournament. ymmv.

not sure how kenny atkinson will deal with donovan "me me me" mitchell playing hero ball and no defense. isnt that why he left brooklyn when they went from team basketball to harden/kyrie/kd?

dang.

they look dingler-esque.

do you ever get tired of being disappointed by prospects? 🙂 when are you going to join me in the "bitter old man" club?

one thing is for sure, whatever we do we cant trade our 6'8 floor spacer center who makes 1 three a game, plays 45 games a year, has a negative defensive rating, and makes the "naz reid" contract. if we trade him we might as well blow the whole thing up. lol.

so who would you aquire to go along with perennial all star isaiah stewart?

can you imagine going to cade now and saying "hey, you're going to have to pass to isaiah stewart and ausar thompson from now on because, well, we drafted them and we have no choice, we cant trade for better players or future assets now!" you get better players not through cap space, but by accumulating future assets and then trading them for better players. or, you could spend salary cap space on the best free agents in the market OR trade for guys teams are willing to give away because they make too much money. wiggins, lavine, KAT, dejounte murray, trae... you keep saying how everyone else,'s ideas on how to improve the team suck, what would YOU do to improve the pistons?
