The thumbnail look like a Clique rebuild 💀

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

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.

Feels like pistons offseason guide has been the same for past 5 years. Try draft good players and be smart with your cap. Theyve taken a while to finally get to step 2 of haaving a core to build from.

I love these offseason segments for every team.

ESPN's best employee, just sports.

The Pistons fanbase is dead at this point. We are so depressed with this franchise man smh.

Thank you marks bc I’m a pistons fan that knows basketball and I’m clueless but I love this segment

The Pistons will be just fine as long as they don't panic and think winning 35 to 40 games is the goal. Don't start trading good players for old men at the end of their careers. Keep building.

I'm with letting these young guys grow together. Eventually they will learn how to win. Go out and get Draymond, Bridges or maybe even Booker. They will bring in a tough culture and improve this team. Don't spend that cash on someone who is only here for the money. Stick with the plan Pistons. This team will be good in 3-4years

They need to trade everyone besides Cade, Ausar, and Simone

Give Cade the max and start building around him, matter of fact Monty has to go also if you want Cade to shine

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.

As a life long Pistons fan it's safe to say WE ARE CHEEKS! Owner is cheeks. Coach is cheeks. Shooting is cheeks.

Jaden Ivey isn't a core piece. He's a trade piece.

As a Pistons fan it's been depressing for a decade plus. Can they move this team to Seattle or something? And we can get a new expansion down the line. This is bad, as long as Gores, Weaver and Tellem are at the helm.

Hey Bobby! Can we get your thoughts on Toronto?

I love Bobby😫🥵

Haven't done a kings off-season guide yet

The problem is Ownership keeps interfering with the Front Office.

The Bulls are maybe willing to give Zach Levine and Demar Derozan which is a soild vet that either could give about 20-25 a night and 4th Quarter score clutch affect

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

Give Cade the max - resign Tec - Draft Sarr with 1st pick - Overpay Monk & Harris in FA - Trade Duren (Drummond 2.0) while his value is still high for veterans and draft capital.

if garland and lamelo deserved theirs then Cade definitely do

If im Cade im asking for a trade & his first choice should be Brooklyn lol

how can you punt this yr.. if they give Cade the 40 mill this yr it effects cap next yr..so they must get FAs or trade core for higher salary players....because you may lose cade if you sleep on him

Pistons should punt for Kevin porter jr.

Make all the right trade and get an expired contract back. Great young guys. Bad thing it young

Jalen Duren, sorry big fella, you looking like Orlando Woodridge. Everybody can get it. I don't want to hear about a young core. That young core shows us no heart

I can’t believe the Pistons got pick 5 again lol

We don’t have a 14 win team on paper, we have a brainless coach & a GM who is better off being a scout rather than constructing a roster. This team should’ve at least been capable of winning 28-30 games on paper, but if you have a coach who loves to start Killian Hayes over Jaden Ivey or let Isaiah Livers play any meaningful minutes in a NBA game, then it’s gonna be a recipe for disaster. The fact this team is constantly plagued with injuries leads me to believe that our medical staff & conditioning teams need to be completely overhauled.

Huh... the OFF SEASON is a SEASON to forget... .... 😶

D Day

They need a new head coach

Trade with Atlanta. Get Hunter and Capella for Wiseman and a future 1st protection

EVERYBODY IS ON THE TRADING BLOCK!! FOR THE RIGHT PRICE... STOP PLAYING WITH ME!!

If Tobias Harris gets more money than Malik monk the league actually needs to be looked at lmao 😂

Trade everyone!!!

Yeah how about stop rigging the lottery, clearly there is a vendetta against the Pistons!

Max out cade

I’m about to throw 🤮. I can’t take another rebuild, the lottery is some BS. It doesn’t help team who are truly struggling

Mewo

If DET was smart and to this point they haven’t been I like the idea of punting on there cap space keeping it in reserve Pick Evan’s money take on Ben Simmons money for additional draft compensation and see what Cade gives you so you either trade him if you don’t think he is progressing enough or if he has improved his game you offer him the funny max and if he doesn’t take it then you revisit the trade discussion once again

This draft is horrible!!! Feel bad for the Pistons. Ricchashie or Buzelis would fit best. They can’t draft Sarr. They tried big men already.

People don’t understand how bad this draft is

First ☝🏽

As a Pistons fan, we have no more of these seasons left in us. We’ve have suffered I will say, this team is a lot better than 14 wins. We do not have leadership that put this team in a position to win. Our last starting lineup is actually pretty good but we didn’t play them the last few weeks of the season 😂

Sign Dwight Howard for 2 years

You sign Bridges, draft Sarr. Trade Ivey/Duren for Murray. Cade/Murray/Tek/Bridges/Sarr Sasser/Grimes/Ausar/Stewart/Wiseman Not bad

I finish the video and its just depressing for Detroit they almost have no way out

I would trade Cade for a first in 2025. That draft is stacked!! Pistons should build around the draft, Ausar, Jalen and Ivey

Just Draft Bronny and hope LeBron wants to play with him 😅

Most likely, we aren't winning next year, too. Stick to what we have. Don't overpay in free agent. Pay Cade. Keep Fontecchio. Want to see a full season with Cade, Ivey, Fontecchio, Asuar, and Duren. Stewart. Yes, I believe we can get to 30 win and win a championship with this team in time. Show improvement and fan will follow.

My personal opinion is that collegiate players must play 4 years prior to draft. Drafting early has ruined NBA

I have a plan for the Pistons. Ivey and Ausar and possibly beef stew to Brooklyn for Mikal Birdges, Duren and our pick for Sengun and maybe Houston’s pick depending on if we have #1 or we get screwed again with #5, then we sign Malik Monk and Pascal Siakam cause we have the money to do so, then we need a backup 4 and 5, get Drummond cause he gets boards and that what this team would struggle with, and then get Dario Saric cause he is cheap and played for Monty before (I have no real preference about backup 4 Saric is just one that makes sense to me) Cade, Monk, Bridges, Siakam, and Sengun is a lineup with multiple 3-level scorers who all score in different ways in Cade, Monk, and Bridges, and Siakam and Sengun are both great mid rang/low post scorers one because of strength and the other from his great post moves and skill, and on defense this team is solid too with Bridges and Siakam being elite defenders, Cade above average, and Monk and Sengun are both alright, and off the bench we have Sasser, Grimes, Fontechio, Saric, and Drummond. Add like John Wall or someone on a veteran minimum to get 0 minutes but still be a great veteran locker room guy as well, this team can genuinely make a push for the playoffs

The problem with the Pistons and I’m a Detroit resident so I have the right and insight on a team I’ve been watching for over 40 years! The problem is Troy thinks a team of 23 and under with no veteran leadership can figure out how to win without vets on the team! To be honest that’s the whole association’s problem with a lot of young teams! I wish Troy would get rid of the likes Stewart he’s not a basketball player! He’s built for wrestling, football, mma, any combat sport! But no basketball, he has no vertical, can’t protect the paint! Hands to small can’t rebound! Players like this is on the roster and that’s why we can’t win! I never seen the comparison between him and Big Ben!

Detroit should literally restart a tank. Keep the young guys, get picks, stop pretending you have a top 10 player and go get one in the draft

relegate them to G league

No offense to Cade but him getting 5 years 225m when Tatum is gonna get a super max of 5 years 320 million is so weird. Like Cade has proved nothing yet and already getting 200+ million deal

Trash team, no one should get a max deal when ur team is this trash. I’m sorry Cade u don’t deserve a max deal

If I’m the Pistons HoBO (Head of Basketball Operations) I’m trading Cade to the highest bidder, no way I’m paying him a Max contract I’d take a few young guys that another team is wasting and see what I can do in the next few draft classes (This one is terrible) Let’s say, the Hawks wanted to part with Murray for Cade? I’d take that offer if they added a 1st round pick

The NBA has become unwatchable.

Our franchise is doomed until Tom Gores sells it. That pos has become rich off of prisoners’ families, and giving Monty Williams that contract when you were bidding against literally nobody else was just the tip of the iceberg of how incredibly poor the team is ran. When the NBA intervened to make sure San Antonio got Wemby, the writing was on the wall
