I'm getting impatient. No moves at the deadline, no moves so far. We can't add a piece in the draft that won't play and a free agent no one else wants and expect to compete. There's nothing to look forward to with this team.

let's keep it real
ain't nobody trying to deal with reggie and andre
especially andre seeing he's a liability late in games and he cares more about stupid shyt than the game of basketball
i think we tried to trade him at the deadline and the other team said fukk that
and lets not even talk about his contract
it seems we'll be stuck in no man's land for a few years
but honestly i don't care because as long as lebron is in the east nobody else will get out

Yes, y'all don't have players with AS potential sans Drummond. Stan should blow it up; get as many picks as possible, and they should hit up Orlando and see if they'll give you Hezonja for the low.
I'm still sitting on Mario hezonja island waiting for him to do something
Drummond needs a vet big poking a finger in his chest again. Rasheed had him bullying nikkas and talking shyt now he's pampered and coddled. Can't even play in the last 6 minutes of a game cause he can't his a ducking free throw and is too good todo underhand free throws. Anthony Davis will rock a unibrow but Drummond too good to try rick Barry style free throws
Reggie hate came after us getting swept by the cavs hen him coming back still hurt. Reggie wasn't as bad as people made him out to be but he isn't endearing. He's like Russell Westbrook without the angry faces and the stat padding. A chucking point guard who will try and hero ball a team in and out the game despite not being a great shooter
This pretty much how i feel. I wasn't feeling it at first, but I'm warming up to taking a flyer on Giles. I'm just hoping Dennis Smith drops and we can work on moving Jackson. Once again wee in a shytty spot in the draft.With Howard going to CHA and them losing Bellinilli, I doubt Kennard drops past CHA. Kemba and Mitchell are too small to play together. Good for pistons. Give me Mitchell or Giles, unless one of the top guys drops. I'm iffy on zach Collins but I wouldn't hate it.

Everyone in the east but Boston, Milwaukee and philly have suspect outlooks. Cle has one more year to contend with that core. Washington and Tor will never get over the hump as their currently constructed. Atl, Indy, Chi are starting their rebuilds. Det, Mia, CHA are stuck in the grey area because they have no stars but will not be bad enough to get top picks. Pistons just have to hope the Reggie and Andre bounce back and Stanley Johnson and Ellenson show improvement.
Miami probably can get Blake or a hi level free agent and still have room to improve. Knicks and Pistons look lost and so do the hornets

The Knicks have Kristaps,The Hornets have Kemba...We don't have shyt and are spiraling into luxury tax territory.Our future is bottom 5 in the L.We don't have assets,cap space and are mediocre as fukk on the court..that's a terrible combination.
New stadium and the Q line

Thinking about this shyt got me heated
We got rid of Dumars because of his inability to put a consistent winning product on the floor.But we're entering year four of SVG's tenure and all we have to show for it is a first round sweep.He hasn't brought in ANY young talent (Johnson is trash and Ellenson hasn't showed shyt ,let's not even talk about our second round picks ) both of the young *talents* we have are remnants of the Dumars era (KCP,Drummond).His trades have not worked out for us and to top it off this nikka ain't that great of a coach but this nikka has ZERO heat on him.Dumars would've been crucified for this shyt.
Now we have to wait until he picks Luke Kennard because we need shooting...but this nikka will never see the court because it doesn't matter if you can shoot if you are a total liability everywhere else (Like Ellenson) or maybe he'll pick that gonzaga cac...but he'll be stuck behind Tobias ,trash ass Leur, and Henry Ellenson

Porzingas looks like he wants out and Phil is having the audacity to even listen to offers on him that's not a good look

Breh you are way too whiny. If Andre and Reggie bounce back the pistons can easily compete for Playoff birth. East is probably going to be even weaker next year. Playoff team Indy, atl, chi are starting to rebuild. If Lowry leaves, Tor run is over. Wash and mil have stars but are as flawed as pistons. SVG has done a good job of acquiring talent it just hasn't meshed together. SVG needs to improve as a coach, not an executive.
The pistons biggest question mark and what will determine their success next year will be Reggies health. He was not the same at all, without his athleticism

Breh you're making my point.You just said if Reggie and Andre bounce back we are "competing" for a playoff berth.If you're spending what the pistons are spending you are not supposed to be hoping for a chance to "compete" for a playoff berth .You're supposed to be a top 3 team in the conference.We're spending luxury tax money for a team that's a 7 seed at best . Milwaukee and Washington are not as flawed as us.They both have players you can legit build contenders with (Greek Freak and Wall) .Our supposed best player can't even stay on the court because his free throw percentage is lower than Trumps approval rating. We are nowhere near Washington and Milwaukee.
As an executive SVG has drafted literally nothing but busts.As an executive SVG has built a roster that forced our best and most consistent player on the squad to play the 6th man role (Tobias) as an executive SVG has been trash.He gambled and so far he is losing

shyt atleast they have porzingas (he ain't goin nowhere) our best player out here tweeting eyes emojis like a thot every time a rumor regarding him pops up
