As a lifelong Pistons fan, we need to stop with this Core4 talk like they are going to take over the league. They look good on paper but don’t fit on the court. You can’t have a front office that ignores putting talent around your franchise player. Also all this cap space can’t be used on a player that doesn’t take you to a minimum Play-In team. This rebuild has been a disaster. The talent level has to be upgraded

They don't fit because their coach is 💩 and wants everyone to stand in corner to shoots 3's while Cade dribbles the clock down, and passes if he can't get a shot off. They run no real offensive system, or have any offensive rhythm their whole offensive concept is just "spacing" and nothing else even the Center they demand to shoot 3's at a 35% clip. Since when has the Detroit Pistons philosophy on offense been so retarded? You see Luka is all world, and has a FBHOFer as a backcourt mate, and they barely made 5th seed playing that heliocentric style of offense. Cade would've had to he all world, and have the same to make the Playoffs and that's their only hope for their future lol.

Idk why anyone would, but if you watched DET you’d see that Cade is NOT the problem. He averaged 23 and 8 on a horrible team with no second option and the paint ALWAYS clogged. I say add a vet big who can play defense bc Duren cannot and Stew is a backup 5, not a 4. Also add 1 good shooter, and continue building through the draft. Minimal spending, and continue to rebuild through the draft. Possibly take on another bad contract for a first next year. Then, hope your other young players just improve. If they are going to get out of this, the young players that are there now have to develop and improve. But Cade deserves the fun max based on him not checking out and playing hard, good basketball himself, as well as the leadership qualities he’s shown thus far.

Gotta let Duren develop and they def need more than 1 shooter. Spend all the money on shooting to give those young guys space to operate.

@danielbutler7202 let me run this by you, it's probably a hot take but it's worth considering. Thompson does a lot of great things but his shooting is terrible! What about exploring options for him on the table to see what you can get while his stock is still really high? He won't ever be the primary guy because of Cade so he won't have the ball and that's when he's most affective. I'm not saying give him away but if we can get a guy like Lauri M or that caliber (would love Brooklyn Bridge) would you do that or bank on him becoming a decent spot up guy on offense?

My thoughts would be, you give Cade the rookie max or close to it, he's clearly shown he has the ability if you put guys around him. The bigger move is clearing house, you can't come into next season with Monty or Weaver imo. It's a lost season tbh, we gained no insight on the young guys because the roster construction was poor and the coaching wasn't utilizing the players to their strengths. Hopefully you draft Risaccher, sign some depth shooters (specifically on the wing), and maybe trade some cap for a pick. I like the idea of bringing in Simmons for a Suns 1st.

The problem is Ownership keeps interfering with the Front Office.

I would go after Hartenstein and Monk. Bring Simone back. If you can give Stew away, do it, so more cap space is available.

Have to get Brandon Ingram this offseason

Detroit will likely get the first pick this year, one year too late. This may be the most stuck in the mud franchise in the NBA at this moment.

Omg it's no hope 😂 I want to see just how bad we can be at this point

At this point you are committed to developing the young players. They will be fine but it doesn’t make sense to lose your nerve and bail now, after you just ate 2 horrible seasons. Sign a vet for the front court. Maybe its Harris if you can get him without paying an absurd amount. Maybe its just bench vets who no longer have it but still have a decent floor. Either way, you're still 2-3 seasons out from your most important players hitting their prime and with no heroes in the draft or available in free agency, you really only have one option.

Fontechio and Simmons

How in the world can you say that the Pistons are on the treadmill of mediocrity? They're nowhere near that good. They haven't won more than 23 games in a season in any of the last 5 years. I'd be stunned if the last 5 Pistons seasons aren't the worst consecutive 5 seasons in all NBA history. From their sleazy cokehead owner to the GM to the coach to the roster, they're just a joke organization. I feel bad for Cade since it's probably not realistic to turn down a max offer, so he's probably going to be stuck there a while longer but if he's ever going to carve out a respectable NBA career he's gotta get out of that hellhole Tom Gores has built.

I don't understand why all the talking heads keep saying and projectibg the Pistons to have the 1st pick. We had the worst record, so statistically, the pick we have the best chance at is 5. We have a better percentage of picking 5 than 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Think they should get Draymond find a vet wing maybe trade this years pick for a next year and get a Wing
