i dont understand how you guys watch this every day. this is brutal.
-
hey look, a silver lining to today's loss!
-
this game may suck, this team certainly sucks, but any time you get to see melissa theuriau, its been a good day. elle est magnifique.

if momentum existed in sports the panthers would have won in 4. after all, they won the first three.

he's 230 at bats into his major league career, give him some time.

20234-24 14-68. Now what? (The 2024 Offseason thread)
buddha replied to Motor City Sonics's topic in Detroit Pistons
it was such a good trade they've won the least amount of games in the league since it was made. in the context of where the franchise was at the time and what it should be doing to move forward on a realistic timeline, sacrificing a first round pick for a role player at the beginning of a rebuild was not a smart trade. hopefully langdon can maximize the value of a guy like stewart rather than waiting to trade him for two second round picks two years from now. -
you have the best home uniforms in the game, why ruin them with this garbage?

this is what they should have been doing all along. not dealing future firsts for isaiah stewart or saddiq bey for james wiseman. -

i dont want grant, bi, or paul george on the team. i know beggars cant be choosers, but i dont know if any of those guys is great for cade. if i have to pick one of then its george because he's a great #2 and i think you can get him for less years. grant's contract is too long for me. unless he comes with draft capital attached i'll pass. i'd rather get tobias harris on a friendly cheap deal. i'd rather take on assets to get dejounte murray. i'd rather take assets and andrew wiggins. this is the biggest flaw in dumb ass weaver's plan. there are no good free agenta anymore and nobody is going to deal you quality for your cap space. -
i'm fine with husso and lyon this year. the other scenario is to ltir or buyout husso. i'd rather see if he can play first. but i'm not seeing the wings aa playoff contenders this year.

he gets you the most haul now, he's a pitcher with an injury history who could get hurt at any time and lose that value, and he's going to be even more valuable on his cheap contract. he might be the most valuable chip on the market if you move him now. otoh, he could be johan santana...
-
he's a poor man's andrew vaughn, not anywhere near konerko. when konerko was his age he was raking. if you squint hard enough you could see tony clark, but clark took time because of his height (i think). i dont think that's tork's issue. but i hope youre right and he gets things fixed. i just doubt it.

maybe the organization is doing what all organization's do after changes are made and the initial results are below expectations? you blame the prior management team! which in this case, would be true. the tigers' rebuild started in 2023. its only been on year. its going to take some time to dig our from under this mess. dealing for Lee last year was a start, getting a good prospect for flaherty will be the idea this year, and then getting a haul for skubal next year (or this year) will be the foundational pieces that make us the 2016 cubs. but it will take a bit to get out from under the albatross of a decade of al avila.

maybe he's working with former beat writer danny knobler in his bar in thailand?
-
he won 22 games and then got mobley and markkanen. im not saying he did a bad job, but he didnt do what atkinson did. he had talent, atkinson had next to nothing.

like you said, any coach would be a risk. atkinson took over the nets when they were the worst team in the league with no draft choices (they traded them all to boston who turned them into tatum and brown) and he got them to .500 in three years. that's why everyone loves him. bickerstaff took over a cleveland team that then aquired a top 3 pick and a star offensive player. much different situation. quinn is a crap shoot, agreed. but he is well liked around the league.

kenny atkinson took this collection of misfit toys to a 42 win season and the playoffs. quinn is a part of the best front office/coaching staff in the league.

just dont trade for jerami grant. please. -
would you rather have paul george or brandon ingram? ingram is younger but george is probably a better player. i hope the pistons dont get either of them.

we used to get videos of andre doing the same thing. -
"obviously CHI had better offers at the deadline." bad use of an asset. 3 months ago you were posting all sorts of **** about giddey and now you think he's a prize? they could have received multiple picks in different drafts at the deadline for caruso and instead chose a guy who is good but about to be very expensive for what he offers. its a bad use of assets. just like troy weaver failed to trade his assets at their peak value to accumulate future assets, the bulls have dithered on trading a good role player for maximum value and instead received nothing more than an expensive ticket to the play-in round.
-
the options arent "pay caruso" or "pay giddey". they chose to trade caruso for giddey. they could have dealt caruso for something else. caruso is a very sought after commodity. giddey is overrated. had to sit him in the playoffs because he cant shoot threes.
-
the bulls are morons. now they have to pay giddey to be a homeless man's demar derozan while they pay max money to the real demar derozan.
-
all rookies are shiny new toys because we havent seen them play yet. be careful how many rookies you want in the lineup. if youre playing that many rookies in defense then youre battling montreal and columbus for the right to pick 5th next year.
-
4th team was the coach, who was obviously not on the same page as the rest of the org. again, dysfuntion and disorganization comes from bad ownership.
