Any scenario that Ivey wouldn’t our pick at #4 is ludicrous

[froot loops]

Ivey was exposed against Saint Peters.

[Futureshock]

Just one game though.

[froot loops]

I don't care for his jump shot form. He will be helped by not having an immobile 7ft4 guy clogging the lane. The Saint Peters game may have been only one game but it exposed his handles. A press shouldn't affect him so much.

[jaadam4]

Yeah, all of the top 4 failed in the last game of their
tourny. Smith was terrible and I’d take him #1 overall and not think twice about it.

Need John Beilein to give Jaden Ivey a few tips about cleaning up his fundamentals!

…

So basically, the Pistons have a 67% shot at having a top 5 pick. 33% it’s #6 or #7. The lottery show is May 17th. Fingers crossed. I’m not going to sound pessimistic again because the Pistons lucked out last year.

Cade is special, I’m glad they got their gigantic PG of the future. I’m looking forward to next season already. We should have a nice pick and they have money to spend.

Can you imagine if we could land Lavine in FA and one of the blue chip bigs in this class. They’d go from being a bottom feeder team to solid young playoff team

[Futureshock]

Not getting him

[jaadam4]

He’s not leaving Chicago?

[froot loops]

Why would he leave Chicago for Detroit?

[jaadam4]

Why would he leave Chicago for Detroit?

Agreed on the city but these super teams and winning chips are all the rage. Cade is legit and we have a good young core. If they land the next big star they could make a run for years

Detroit could be special if they do it right. The Go to work Pistons were a major destination for a second until they couldn’t afford to add anyone because they had solid starters at each position.

These Pistons could not have just damned good players but multiple stars. Have you ever been to Milwaukee? It’s f’ing terrible but people would flock there if they had the scratch.

The next few years the Pistons will have just that until Cade and Co need extensions

[froot loops]

It actually has nothing to do with cities. Chicago is closer to a championship than the Pistons, Lavine isn't taking less dollars to come here because of Cade.Lavine has been talking extension with the Bulls, I expect they will extend him. All Piston fans love Cade Cunningham, but at this point free agents are not coming to the Pistons because of Cade.

[jaadam4]

The Pistons have so many pieces on rookie contracts they don’t need Lavine to take less money. Wasnt he on the trade block this year?

[froot loops]

He was not on the trade block this year, they signed DeRozan to help extend him. The Bulls can give more years and more money. If he were to leave as an unrestricted free agent, it would be for less money. So the chance of him signing as an unrestricted free agent is remote. It would have to be as a sign and trade and if he were available a bunch of teams with more ammo would be in line before the Pistons.

I've never heard of Shaedon Sharpe before but they say he might be shaking up the top 5-6 picks without playing a game of college ball while being enrolled.
