Steward was extended for 4 years

CBS had a fun fact, Stewart is the first Piston since Jason Maxiell to get a rookie extension. That’s 15 years ago and it’s absolutely crazy

That’s crazy about the Pistons recent rookie extension history.

Betting on Beef Stew to get better. If that’s the case, this contract could look like a steal in a few years. No reason he shouldn’t get better given age and experience. Beef Stew has the potential to be a solid rotational big for a playoff team.

Even if he stays as is, that contract is low considering what some of these scrubs are getting. I don’t mind it at all.

Can we let Killian go now. We’re so deep at guard and he sucks

Balls

I think my issue is that Weaver's paid this scratch to someone who, by what we're seeing on the floor, is a guy who isn't someone Weaver sees as one of the Pistons' core players.

It's extremely clear he wants to push Wiseman/Duren as the primary front court pairing. What exactly is Stewart's role supposed to be here?

Basically, what is the fucking plan? What is Weaver even trying to do with this team?

There has to be a trade coming with one of these bigs...Im guessing its Bagley but his value is pretty low.

[froot loops]

I think Stewart is young and has some potential growth but I'm not sure about this extension. If you were planning on extending him you don't extend Bagley and trade for Wiseman.

I read that his extension was the first since Andre Drummond. No matter. What this shows is for all their high draft picks, they draft very poorly.

LOL, if you do a quick easy search, you'll see Weaver mention Stewart as part of the core many times. He's the starting 4.

Drummond wasn't an extension, he re-signed as an RFA.

Why, Stewart plays the 4, the others the 5.

That's not what the lineup on the court has said.

[ghandi]

Stewart is an undersized 5 and not good enough stretch 4.....He plays hard though and Im sure the team likes that about him....If he continues to improve his outside shot, then it should be fine.

[jaadam4]

Stewart will be regulated to a reserve 4/5. He’s a really good depth piece and that contract isn’t bad at all. Have you seen some of these contracts?

I do agree more moves are coming.

You think you'd watch the games and pay attention instead of be wrong, but go on.

[chemiclord]

I saw a lot of Wiseman/Duren, with Stewart coming off the bench or being sat shortly after "starting."

Sorry you saw something else, but it wasn't real life.
