26-27: 58M 27-28: 62M 28-29 67M (Player Option) Paul George also has two more years at around 50M. Combined that about 70% of the cap. The also don't own their first round picks in 2 of the next 3 years (or something like that). Sorry, Philly. You're gonna be bad for a while.

Risacher might be re-living the Killian Hayes timeline.

If I'm JB, I'm resting Cade, Duren, and Stew this game. It's not worth risking suspensions or injuries against a team full of criminals that really has nothing to lose and would be happy to hit you a lit harder or goad you a little further in order to weaken a potential first round opponent. -

Betrayer replied to Tigeraholic1's topic in Detroit Pistons
I suppose the doctors know best, but it seems silly for him to play at all. He's not eligible for awards no matter what at this point and if he doesn't play in the regular season that's another week and a half off before the playoffs start. He can work his way into shape in the first round. Stew on the other hand hasn't played in forever and isn't dealing with an organ injury - I'd like to see him get a game in. -
Maybe this will make the league look at the 65 game rule more closely. They won't do it for Cade, but for their anointed darling it should create some serious talk. I don't mind the spirit of the rule deterring players from "load management" but in it's current state there are a lot of problems with it. All League teams, legitimate injuries, salary ramifications, and so on.

Glad to hear Stew upgraded to questionable. Not gonna lie, the Tolu Smith signing had me worried. -

I imagine Harris and Robinson will get some rest in the final 4 games. Duren might sit out one or two of them as well. No reason to rest Daniss, Holland, Huerter or anyone else. I doubt Ausar will rest since he's trying to qualify for offseason awards. I highly doubt we'll see Cade, but I wonder about Stew. Seems like it might be good to get him a game or two to get back in the groove. Of course, playing Stew and/or Duren in the Charlotte matchup seems like a bad idea after what happened last time. We don't need any suspensions. -

That second half was so fun. Philly had 60 in the first half. They scored just 33 in the second half. -
Anthony Bennett I'm guessing.

Totally agree. As much as I still scream at the TV for every tiny annoyance, this season has been a joy. Hell, I could just put on a game and watch Ausar play defense for 2 hours and I'm happy. It's insane considering they won 14 games 2 seasons ago and were one of the worst teams in league history - and they didn't do it by adding an All-Star. They did it by changing the coach, culture, internal development, and adding players around the margins. Truly remarkable stuff. -

Terribly officiated game, but the Pistons pull it out. Great game from Jenkins and Ausar was everywhere as usual with 5 stocks, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists. Duren struggled a bit compared to his usual efficiency and turned it over way too much (5 of the team's 12 turnovers), but still had some nice moments. Huerter played well also. He just a solid all around player. Lavert was a team low -11 of course. JB still truckin on and giving him minutes although it was encouraging to see that he got less minutes than any of the other wings. -

I think Ausar is still eligible. I think he has to play 20 minutes in all but 1 of our remaining games (or something like that). The sad part is most of the damage to Ausar's eligibility was done by JB. Way too many games where he just decided to play him less than 20 minutes. -

I'd much rather choose one of those "1st round grades" at 21 than see what's left for me at 28. We get to draft a player that ranks higher on our board, it's as simple as that. Not sure how you can spin moving up 20-25% higher in a good draft as a bad or pointless thing. But I do agree with your other point. Accumulating more picks would certainly be nice. -
MVP. Just like last year and in 22-23. But they'll give it to the free throw merchant again.

Please get Ausar and Duren back in this game. -

Was thinking the same thing. Just don’t sit him at all in the 4th and we have a chance. -

Lavert makes 2 layups and so he thinks he should jack up a three with zero ball movement and a full shot clock. -

What’s difference coming out of the half on both ends. Team looks like they finally showed up to play. Hopefully they keep the intensity. -

Also hard for a team to shoot 60 percent if you’re playing defense (and not turning it over). -

This is just bad basketball by the Pistons. Turnovers, bad defense, not getting back, not rotating, getting beat off the dribble. -

ESPN announcers killing Lavert, as they should. Already called him “thirsty” when he was over dribbling and shot hunting, called him out on passing up the three for a turnover, and then taking that terrible air ball. -

Scoring 29 should be good in a quarter. Not when you allow 37.
