I'm not in panic mode over George.

It's just the 6th game.

But, they have enough other guys to pick up the slack when he's so bad.

Morris played well in the 1st.

But, Powell is the only guy who showed up for the rest of the game.

Lue needs to set a rotation at some point and stop experimenting.

Its not just George.

Luke Kennard, Reggie , Batum and Mann have been bad too.

Stop trying to play 11 or 12 guys.

It's not working.

Especially when you have 2 or 3 guys sitting every game.

No Covington or Kawhi.

Zubac might as well have not played either.

Yea they need to tighten the rotation

Yea they need to tighten the rotation

Seems obvious.

Lue is the one person I have no concerns about.

He will figure it out.

Look at your boys making moves.

Even if they trade him later, great move imo...

That's a very tradeable contract and a good value if they do keep him.

@wildturkey @DJ @trojanfan12 one less name on the free agent list.

Bojan Bogdanovic agrees to two-year contract extension with Detroit

Adrian Wojnarowski: Bojan Bogdanovic has agreed on a two-year, $39.1 million extension with the Detroit Pistons, @wassbasketball tells ESPN.

I love what the front office has done.

I hate what the coaching has done lol.

But yea...that's a really solid contract.

Provided detroit doesn't use any of its cap holds and doesn't pick up Noel (they wont) they still have 40 mil in cap space next year.

I think that extension makes Bog untradable this Season.

So, at least you know the roster will get a fair shake this Season.

Hopefully, whatever changes they make to the CBA won't affect how you use that 40mil.

It shouldn't, considering most of your core is still on rookie deals or manageable deals like Bagley.

Teams should not be punished for drafting well.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah. Just saying maximizing that return and maybe Kobe can’t mutiny in 04

Instead with no depth it made it easy

Eddie Jones was traded in 1999.

If you're talking about his trade demand, that wasn't until 2007.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

I knew we should of kept hartenstein, he's a way better player then that lazy piece of shit zubac. I called it before the season started. Hartenstein has a lot of positive impact metrics this year too.

And the rest of the team (wall, Reggie, batum, roco) are just a bunch of guys who were on their way to being kicked out of the league until they came crying to us.

And George is washed.

God this team f'n sucks.

Do we have a lottery pick or does okc own that? I say trade George, tank and then build around kawhi/some lottery pick point guard or center.

He’s been really good so far. Good move

 

[Shanemansj13]

Mitchell is in the zone. Just pulling up from 30

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Casey sucks. Dude. Your bench gets worked every single game and yet you keep doing this rotation.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

So if lakers continue being what they are (a dumpster fire)

The pelicans get their lottery pick due to the anthony davis trade? Holy cow. Ingram\Zion\Wembanyama trio? It's over.

 

[Pastafazul]

Does isiah Frankenstein have another shot other than the floater?

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

It's still early but this has been one of the most unpredictable seasons so far.

Warriors, Clippers, Lakers, Nets all suck.

Who's going to win the championship the washington wizards hahahaha

But again, still very early. Remember celtics sucked last year until january.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Best quarter of the year obviously. Keep it going Detroit

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Pistons have lost 5 in a row, they are now practically blowing out the dysfunctional warriors.

That makes me feel a little better about my Kawhi sorrow.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pistons abusing the W’s

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Pistons abusing the W’s

The test is coming up. When they rotate in the bench. This has killed them game after game.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

I think Warriors have another thing coming if they think Poole is going to replace what Draymond or Klay brought to the team.

Draymond is the ultimate intangible guy, great playmaker and defender.

Klay is the best catch and shooter player of all time and great ball mover.

Those two are building blocks for title (in their prime anyway).

Jordan Poole is just a jamal crawford 2.0, he's not someone you want with you in the trenches. Unless Draymond is knocking his ass out i guess hahahaha

Poole was terrible in the finals as well and had to be benched but fantastic in the 1st round, that's kind of what that type of player will give you though. 6th man type.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Only bringing in Diallo. Ugh. Here we go.

 

[msgkings322]

Casey sucks. Dude. Your bench gets worked every single game and yet you keep doing this rotation.

He doesn't suck today!
