Official Detroit Pistons thread

Time for Troy Weaver to start earning his money, start building a proper team.

[The King]

You draft Jerace Walker and we’re good.

THis was a poker coin flip. Anyone upset is an idiot. It’s basic math.

[froot loops]

The people who are upset are upset because they were sold a tale that tanking was to only way to go. The franchise is utterly rudderless. Next year they will be lucky to win 30 games.

[The King]

Having a top 5 pick in a loaded draft and tons of cap room is not rudderless.

[CGVT]

They will suck forever.

Jarace Walker seems like the choice. They want defense, that’s his calling card. I’m a fan of Cam Whitmore though. Not for defense, but love his offensive potential.

[froot loops]

They won 17 games this year. They are rudderless, but what's impressive is how many shit sandwiches you are willing to consume to be positive about this franchise. Hopefully they will run free agency like they did last year to acquire Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel.

It’s a disaster of a moment for the Pistons. Totally sucks.
Likely going to result in hiring Kevin Ollie as HC. The double whammy start of an offseason.

My only suggestion is don’t watch the games until they’re competent. It’s ok to be a bandwagon fan. It’s not a contest. There’s more to life than wasting it on watching shitty sports products (Detroit for the last decade plus). I wish I knew this years ago.

[froot loops]

I cannot believe Kevin Ollie might be the head coach.

[chemiclord]

The alternative is topping out struggling for the 8-seed like the 5-year stretch after Gores took over.

Tanking is the only way out for most teams. But any team building strategy that requires multiple #1 picks is a stupid strategy. Between the talent they will have net in these three "tanking" drafts, they should have found enough talented players to form the core of a competent, quality team.

[froot loops]

They will suck forever.

Maybe not forever, but a very long time. We may never see them contend again.

I havent heard the term loaded in reference to this draft before...You seem more optomistic about it than most

[froot loops]

I hate seeing Lakers and Celtics. Not surprised if the playoff fix will show up.
League definitely don’t want Denver in finals.

Is the league going to attack Jokic with a crowbar? The Lakers beat my Warriors, but Denver is another beast entirely. Jokic is the best player in the league, if you double him he finds the open cutter. And the Lakers can't exposed him on D like GS did last year.

What a Fucking crock of shit
