1st Listen. Yeah Ku..I feel you bro. But I feel like Detroit is just gonna have to be built from draft picks. In time bro….when we start shinning, them cats will come then. Stay up bro. Word up!!
Picked up the garbage . Holy shit Ku , same old Pistons .
It’s so Ironic cuz Morris was in my wishlist BEFORE we drafted Sasser. Now it’s just a fever dream… I think we should boot Killian and send Sasser to the G League to rise Morris’s value, trade him, and then play Sasser with higher minutes.
Troy Weaver sending a Message to the Team, Cade/Ivey gotta carry the load. Expect them to play 40 minutes a night in Close games.
Dog Ku we can act like Bojan Bogdanović can’t play power forward. He played power forward with the jazz
Yawn…25-30 wins next season. Picking 5th in the lottery again. Wash, rinse, repeat. Definitely turning the corner! Cap space for the Pistons is actually crap space. 😉 Great job, Ku. You have a tough job, my friend. Turning all these lemons into lemonade is not easy!
Watanbe went for so cheap….idk why pistons didn’t pick him up
Killian must be gone. First the French team takes a dump on his summer and now Troy sets the dump on fire. His only hope is if some team wants to stomp the fire out and are willing to walk away with (trade for) poop (Killian) on their shoe.
Harris is a good shooter
I thought I would be more upset but I'm not at all. We added 2 really good shooters to our bench and now have a ton of expiring contracts to use in a trade and those should be very valuable in the new CBA. With Monte Morris and Sasser, Hayes becomes very tradeable and Harris will be insurance for trading Bojan as well. This will allow for a bigger role for Ausar too. We should be poised to make a trade during the season or wait all the way to until next offseason if we need. Its not that bad. Be patient.
Be patient bro damn our time gone come we gone be better than 17 wins
I'm happy with free agency so far. If we could trade 2 or 3 players for 1 decent player/starter to free up minutes I would be happy.
Troy Weaver is sending a message to fans the message is TOM GORES SHOULD HAVE NEVER HIRED HIM AS THE GM! 😠🤦
Ku, what do you expect from the starting 4 on our team [production wise]?
Ku looked hurt when he thought Killian was gone. 😂😂😂
Rather uneventful 1st day of free agency for the Pistons. No the trades didn't move the needle for me. Just added a few vets, Harris does provide 3pt shooting, but can he get back to pre-injury shooting #s. Morris could add insurance at the PG spot. Guard depth shouldn't be a problem😮
The Pistons are ok. They added a 3 point Specialist and had a Good Draft. The Free Agent Market was terrible and the only Player that I wanted the Pistons to go after was Cam Johnson. Troy Weaver intelligently didn't want to over pay for a Player that I think wanted to stay in Brooklyn. It's all good. Let's continue to build with our Home Grown Talent.
Im done with Troy.
We haven't seen our team play together full healthy yet we want to financially cripple ourselves in a desperation signing in a weak free agency… I understand the patience running thin but we have a FUTURE. We are NOT going to be in basketball hell/purgatory. That is not the plan. We have a new coach for crying out loud. He doesn't even know what we have yet.
Man, nobody thought or wanted a big free agency. Cam Johnson is your big free agent? Bruh…
Trash team pick up garbage players.. That’s wat this team is TRASH.. HOT GARBAGE..
Welcome home Monte! Great move. Harris will be perfectly fine. We will have so much flexibility at the trade deadline and certainly during next offseason to turn this thing into a team competing in the Playoffs.
Free agency isn't one day and you can trade people all the way up until the All-Star break. lol. Everyone chill.
Whether anybody is happy with the moves or not. The facts are that this team is better than last year. New coach, healthy Cade, upgraded depth, better shooting, and more defensive versatility. This will be a better team, and I believe winning 30+ games and perhaps being a play-in team is a real possibility. I have faith in how Troy is building this team, I have faith in Monty and the young core. People are are mad they didn't sign a big name, or sign their dream player. Cam Johnson was never a real possibility. If you thought so, you're either a casual, or just 2K players. Small market rebuilding teams just are not gonna attract the sexy names. Troy is playing the long game focusing on developing his young core. When this team proves it can reach the low end of the playoffs, that's when he'll be more serious about making homerun trades & signings. We aren't there yet, and that's ok. But we are heading in the right direction.
This will give us $50 million next summer when it counts. A better free agent class… This years FA class is fool’s gold
One of Weaver’s first trades was for beef stew for a conditional 1st rd pick. That pick becomes a 2nd rd pick in 2027. It’s all going according to plan.
Cade and ivey get inside a lot, so it’s nice having these knock down white shooters at the wing. I just wish we were going to start a knock down 3 point shooter at power forward. We dont have that right now.
I’m a fan, I’m happy 🤷♂️
