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.

won't someone please think of the children!!!!

i dont think its a good look either, but i am not overly concerned about it affecting his ability to manage players. he was very successful in houston when he had talented players. he has not been successful in detroit when he has not had talented players. jim leyland was great in pittsburgh when he had barry bonds, andy van slyke, and bobby bonilla and not great when he didnt. he was garbage in colorado and quit. every manager is only as good in a 162 game season as the talent he is given. the playoffs are sometimes a different story, but not always.

you're doing that thing again where you overrate all the tigers prospects. put some alcohol in those dr peppers. 🙂

i guess so. do you think leyland didnt know rogers was using pine tar on his glove? or that gary sheffield was juiced? i think leyland knew about plenty of cheating going on and didnt do anything about it because he has to manage a team and win games. everyone clutches their pearls about aj hinch but never says boo about the other - many other - cheating instances that have occurred with their favorite players. if you somehow think the astros scandal was worse, that's your choice. i just see it as another instance in a very long line of instances of players using every advantage they can to win. just like our hero hank greenberg did.

if youre making an argument that pitchers have to go all out to avoid giving up homeruns to everyone in the lineup, doing so in a forum with folks who have to watch the 2024 tigers bat may not be the most receptive audience.

the detroit tigers

i'm sure all of you who hold disdain for hinch over the astros cheating have the same disdain for del baker, and hank greenberg, and rudy york for cheating and stealing signs in the 1940 world series. having a guy in center field tell them what pitches were coming. https://www.vintagedetroit.com/sign-stealing-helped-tigers-win-1940-pennant/ right?
