Let's all laugh at Reggie Jackson
- Thread starter the cool
- Start date
Seems like he's starting to find his feet -
Basically coincides with Monroe being out, they gonna offer Dray max off GP.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Reggie taking advantage of the space without Monroe
But Draymond isn't a max player IMO,he is a very solid player but I think Golden States system is covering up a lot of his shortcomings
He's not a max player, but for them to have a real shot at signing him they'd have to offer him max, and when you think about it he'd probably get the same contract on the new TV deal.
Dray was good defensively with or without Bogut, his stripes on that side of the floor are legit.

On the low, Draymond basically triggers the system. Our offense basically starts with Draymond at the top of the key making critical decisions. In the second half of the season, he's now triggering our fast break also. On Defense, he's a complete and utter a$$hole who can cover almost anyone on the floor.
He's not a true max player, but a max player under this current CBA becomes a mid-level salary under the next CBA.

Reggie too good to be a backup PG. He would want to leave anyway. With Westbrook there, he only going be out there if he is comfortable gaurding 2s all game
Once the floor opened up without Monroe clogging he floor his game flourished. He's not the 3pt threat Augustine or Jennings are so he needs more space to be effective. My guess is its one or the other between him and Monroe being offered a contract. They both can't coexist here with Drummond in the middle. Pretty sure it's gonna be Reggie since we got his bird rights and I think he and Drummond will be easier to build around than Drummond and Monroe. Reggie and Drummond are starting to have some great chemistry with the p'n'r.
My only real fear is that with the cap about to be what it is, even if we go after Draymond with a max offer, GS will still match it since it end up being quality role player money in a few years anyway. Other than that we should be adding Winslow, Johnson or Hezonja in the draft and I'm starting to like what Stan is putting together. Monroe being out seems to have really helped KCP's game too. Other than the game tonight he was playing the best I've seen him play with Monroe's absence.
Yeah, I think the writing is on the wall for Monroe in Detroit, yall have looked a lot better all season long when you have 2 shooters on the floor.
That's the tricky part, you'll draft before you know whether or not you can get Draymond, if it were the other way around you could make a run a Tobias Harris or Khris Middleton and draft Porzingis if you didn't get him. I never got the KCP hate from dudes, he was the right pick over Burke and he's developing under Stan Van X.
You answered your own question with that one. Majority of Pistons fans are probably Michigan fans too and the love for what Michigan Burke was clouding folks judgement. I never bought into the Burke hype though. Loved watching him at U of M but I saw the writing on the wall that none of that shyt was gonna translate to the league. I like KCP's progress, and although I think he will never develop a decent handle, if he learns to be more consistent with his shot he can be a solid scorer.
I hate how our pf position is gonna be up in the air, but I like the rest of the what we will potentially have added this offseason. I'm starting to be a Winslow fan after mostly focusing on Johnson during the season. Johnson seemed like the more consistent shooter, especially when Winslow was slumping during the middle of the season. But Winslow has really come on strong lately and dudes motor, especially on d, doesn't quit. I still don't think he can as good of a shot creator as Johnson, even though that's neither of their strengths. But the d and hustle dude to could bring, especially if he can be a decent outside shooter, he will be a real nice addition to the squad. Van Gundy being able to plug Hezonja into that offense is still my dream though.
