The Detroit Pistons thread - Where Motown is being rebuilt by forming a f'in wall, that's all we do

Anyone else think Draymond Green would be a very very good pick up as a Free Agent, he is restricted so GSW can match, but he's also a Detroit local.

He's been playing very well. I know one of the Piston blogs was very disappointed when he didn't fall to us in the 2012 draft (He was taken at 35 & we had picks at 39 [Middleton] and 44 [English]).

But to be honest I don't know why too many players would come to us at the moment apart from money. This team is already making me miserable.

Drummond hasn't got it going this season. Gets in foul trouble nearly every game and isn't getting his shot to fall.

A couple of articles about Dre

Just read the Magic are 6-42 on the road since the start of last season. Would be horrible to lose to them today.

Dre just missing easy shots now. His confidence seems so low

I agree. It's almost at rock bottom. Hopefully this 8 point spurt in the last quarter is the start of him becoming the Dre we all know & love again.

Yeah has been good so far in the last. Now we just need to get the win

I'm at work so I wasn't able to watch it but that's a horrific loss on paper. Only early days but I didn't expect us to be THIS bad.

A win sometime soon would be nice.

I think what people are forgetting about Drummond is that given his age (born August 10, 1993), he could still realistically be a Junior in college. Even though he spent one year at Connecticut, he was the same age or younger on draft day (18 years, 10 months, 19 days) as a lot of the prep-to-pro guys from the late '90s/early 2000s. He's far from the finished product, so I wouldn't go writing him off just yet.

I don't think anyone on here is writing him off yet, just hard to watch the great white hope of this poor team struggle so badly early in the season.

It's been far too long on here without anything negative about Josh Smith



In other news looks like Jennings can't go tonight with his thumb.

 

[Drumroe]

Drummond balling and I can't watch it

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Bleh

 

[ilikepotatoes]

So who we gonna draft? Oubre, Winslow and Dekker are the top rated SFs in the draft. All would be an improvement on Smith.

 

[Swarles Barkley]

Smith 20% free throw shooting on 10 attempts

We can't finish games

Dinwiddie showing some flashes....

I really hope we are tanking.

I know we aren't though.

Time for a proper rebuild with some top 3 picks...put some young pieces around Dre.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

I'd like to welcome Emmanuel Mudiay to the Pistons next season.

 

[Drumroe]

I prefer Karl Towns, dont think he would fit with Dre though

 

[Upgrayedd]

I hate to be that guy, feel free to bring up how bad minnesota is as well (We also lost to the 76ers)

That was F**king painful to watch, Jesus H Christ
