I don't think they're unraveling. Just timing and circumstance. Cleveland and San Antonio with those rangey bigs that can shut down the paint are Pistons kryptonite. Then they lose Ausar for a few games and Cade for one. They don't have enough talent to be able to sustain wings without their best player and best defender, especially as a elite defensive team.

But that's kind of what im getting at, with OKC the stars can get hurt and the backups still have confidence they can win games, you need those guys to be confident in the postseason and Detroit aint really showing that

They basically know they aint shyt if Cade aint there.

Cavs are in the east too so they cant just ignore how bad a matchup that is for them :francis:

Now Boston back :francis:

just like that the Pistons drop down to probably not making the conference finals imo, and there's not much they can do about it but hope everyone is healthy and playing out of their minds.


And they better hope they dont get Charlotte in round 1 :sas2: shyt can get VERY spooky cuz they can't shoot with the hornets at all
I think the issue is just as simple as its always been, they need a second offensive option. If I was them I would see if they could make the space to go after either Reeves, Grimes, or Ayo while also trying to keep Harris on a good deal.

Gun to my head I think Grimes would fit defensively and could get his scoring back to what it was last year. He’s out of Philly too.

The fanbase is annoying but they got something legit in Cade. It's not rocket science what they need to do to take that team to the next level.

Nothing your saying is wrong except the fanbase shyt. The fanbase is just the same as any other fanbase as they're winning or looking like they're finding their footing, especially after being on an all time bad run just 2 years ago. You as a knick fan know gotdayum well how ridiculous fans can get, and Pistons fans ain't even scratched the surface of that, so y'all can miss me with the fan shyt. Folks just don't like when the rabbit got the gun :yeshrug:

Trajan should know wtf the mission is this off-season after the evaluation season. Should have a great idea of what the grocery list is, now it's time to go shopping in the summer, regardless of the outcome this playoffs.

I think it's one of Reeves, Grimes, or Ayo. Ya’ll slot them at the 2, Ausar, Harris, Duren. It just requires shedding salary either or smaller deals or letting people go. Harris should give ya’ll a deal.

Also ain't no rabbit with a gun. It's the regular season. The playoffs is a different beast. The East might be nastier than anyone expects.

Grimes could probably be had for cheap…like MLE or slightly above

I can’t believe the rockets didn’t pick up a PG at all this season. CP corpse would have been serviceable at the very least
CP and KD look like they hated each other when they were on the Sons together. Not sure KD would ok that again. Plus CP and Houston in general still got static.

Castle needs to figure out a safer way to play basketball, every other play he's falling awkwardly, already had issues landing on his hip more than once and his style puts alot of stress on his knees




:damn: Reed got sacrificed

They got too many defensive guys and "tough" guys, i think they can afford to have atleast one guy who is amazing on offense and not really defensive, you got enough players to cover up that weakness, Reaves would be amazing but i dont think he would wanna go to Detroit



They SHOULD have entered the LaMelo sweepstakes early this season before the hornets started clicking, 6'7 LaMelo and 6'8 Cade as your starting guards would've been a nightmare + 1 or 2 shooters
