buddha Posted Monday at 11:45 PM Posted Monday at 11:45 PM NAW to atlanta. with beasley's "situation", shroeder gone to sactown, and lavert here. the pistons have tread water at best. and likely gotten worse. they probably bring beasley back on a one year deal. Quote

The Pistons are absolutely worse, Beasley and Schroder saved their bacon many times last season when Cade was a turnover machine in the 4th and nobody else could hit a shot. Depending on young player development, this is a worse roster than last season. As expected, Ivey is the key to all of this. If he comes back at 100% continuing his trajectory of last season then the Pistons can be a playoff team but if he's not the answer I could see a step back next season.

Yeah from a personnel standpoint I think they may have actually regressed this off-season. I think the real hope is that Ausar takes a leap forward along with Ivey playing like he was the last month before injury and improvements from somebody like Holland. Also maybe Cade takes another step forward and enters the true elite tier of players. If none of those things happen it's hard to see them finishing at or better where they did last year. Quote

If none of those things happen it's hard to see them finishing at or better where they did last year. internal improvement is the only way they get better. but its still early, they can still do things. missing on NAW really hurts. not sure what trajan is thinking sitting around and watching shroeder leave, naw spurn them, and then signing an aging, injured, non-shooter-non-defender like lavert. maybe they were prepating to give beasley the moon and then pivoted? they seem to have been caught flat footed.

buddha Posted Tuesday at 12:15 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:15 AM remember all that magical cap space we were hoarding? that the pistons were going to be a team that facilitsted all these trades? what happened to that scenario? Quote
Hart Posted Tuesday at 12:40 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:40 AM It is true that we have downgraded as far who is staying and who is going but it is also true that the core of this team remains intact and the development of Cade, Ivey, Ausar, and Duren was going to make or break this team regardless of those other guys.
