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

[Damon_3388]

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.

I'm not convinced he's a genuine small forward. All his recent success has been playing as a stretch 4.

So he plays instead of Smith? Even better

When Josh Smith committed that foul there 4 points up and putting philly on the line under a minute and after that bricking a free throw you'd have to think stan probably wanted to vomit on the court.
Are Jennings and Smith's papers stamped detroit fans?

 

[djrossie16]

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

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

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

THERE IS A GUY CALLED "LOONEY" FFS
let's be honest we're going to Jack no matter what when that jersey drops!

 

[Swarles Barkley]

Yay another one!

 

[Swarles Barkley]

Something a bit more cheerful.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Yay another one!

I don't know what's worse, the pass or the shot.

 

[djrossie16]

Yay another one!

would have like to see his reaction when that dumb foul was committed up 4 under a minute against philly

What's the deal with him in China though? I thought I read he was replaced with Will Bynum.

Who's going to take them?

The LA Chuckers good fit?

 

[Drumroe]

Went to China as he was sick of seeing his mother struggling and wanted to get paid to help.

Injured his ankle so Bynum was signed to replace him. Hopefully can teach him how to lob to Dre

 

[Damon_3388]

- Get rid of Smith
- Re-sign Monroe (if he's the clear-cut #1 Power Forward, why should he want to leave? No contender is paying him the max)
- Draft Stanley Johnson or Justise Winslow (not getting a high enough pick for Mudiay)

 

[Drumroe]

I cant really see any circumstance where Monroe stays unless we play .600 ball the rest of the year with him and Dre dominating together.

You really see us winning anytime soon?

Well, the Pistons were 4-20 to start the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, with arguably a worse roster and coach, and ended up finishing the season 21-21, so anything is possible. Just can't quite see them being that bad to earn a top-3 pick (unless the lottery falls their way), which is what they'd assumedly need to get someone like Mudiay.

Brandon Jennings this season:

First 10 games - 28.7 mpg, 16.2 ppg (.451 FG%, .432 3PT%, .805 FT%, .578 TS%, 25.6 USG%), 2.9 rpg, 6.0 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.2 bpg, 2.0 tpg.

Last 10 games - 30.1 mpg, 10.2 ppg (.286 FG%, .220 3PT%, .906 FT%, .405 TS%, 22.1 USG%), 2.8 rpg, 6.2 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.0 bpg, 2.7 tpg.

I thought he'd finally "got it"

 

[ilikepotatoes]

About time we won!

 

[ilikepotatoes]

2 wins in a row!

Gotta be that Meeks factor!!!!

 

[Drumroe]

Pretty obvious to me the Meeks is the most important player in the NBA

I leave the state for 3 days and we go 2-0. Time for me to move I think.

Pistons waive Josh Smith

The Detroit Pistons on Monday waived starting forward Josh Smith, who has two more years and $26 million still remaining on his contract.
A number of teams could have interest in Josh Smith. (USAT)
The Pistons will use the stretch provision on the remaining $26 million, league sources told Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. The provision allows the Pistons to stretch the money owed to Smith over a longer period of time for salary cap relief.

Smith and first-year Pistons president and coach Stan Van Gundy often did not seen eye to eye this season. Smith was averaging 13.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists this season for the Pistons.


Fantastic move by the pistons they need to rid themself of the smith disease. Rebuilding time for Pistons.
