Toddwert Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) are we looking at the Spurs and The Rockets games in the 2nd week of January as the highest chance of a win? because thats 35 losses in a row at that point... and i realize the next will probably be some random mid-week game that some good team is overlooking the Pistons and sitting their stars Edited December 27, 2023 by Toddwert Quote
Deleterious Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 I mean, Houston has a winning record. They probably already have more wins (15) than Detroit will win all season. Quote

buddha Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 both jalen brown and jason tatum listed as questionable for this game. is THIS the day? can they end the losing streak against the best team in the east? against the old rival? 1 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Assuming Weaver does eventually get canned at some point this season I feel bad for whomever has to come in and try to clean up his mess. They would get gifted a potential young star player in Cade but he's also almost due an extension and who knows if he will even want to stay here. Other than that though there is really not alot of redeeming qualities about this roster. Another good thing though is that given his track record you would get to work with a patient Owner, you figure he's going to give you atleast 4 years to try to get things moving in the right direction before your seat gets hot.

IF Cunningham were to be traded by a new GM in order to get this franchise on the right track, Gores has to fall on that sword. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 It's hard to conceive that Cunningham is willing to stay with the Pistons, in which case at some point they are going to have to preserve some value by trading him. Quote

Like it or not, THIS group (Cade, Ausar and Duren) along with the 2024 pick will be the Pistons core so these are the guys they'll have to develop. Get rid of the dead weight, free Ivey, and bring in some competent support players. Guys like Siakam, OG, Harris and Bridges (why the F would they target this piece of filth?) are not going to move the needle in any meaningful direction, the Pistons are just too many players away from being 1-2 players away. Those are the type of players that a team like Orlando, Houston or Indiana should target. Teams that are 1-2 players from contention, maybe OKC with their war chest of assets to work with.

Motown Bombers Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 It seems so fitting that Gores would talk up what the Pistons do in the community and then turn around and trade for Miles Bridges. Quote
Deleterious Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Make sense Cade is on the list since he is the only player that moves on 95% of the Pistons possessions. Quote

Deleterious Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 I hope this doesn’t affect our playoff push. Quote

This equals that out but now we are at 40/42. Not sure if they even it out later on or they just feel we suck so bad it doesn't matter. Quote
Deleterious Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 Knox starts for us and he wasn't even on an NBA roster opening night. I can't figure out why they have lost 27 in a row. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 Have to consider that after they get a game or two past the record they could really check out. Quote
