Detroit Pistons fans chanting sell the team wasn’t directed towards the players.

Detroit Pistons fans chanting sell the team wasn’t directed towards the players.

So jayen Ivy and Kade Cunningham took offense to the fans yelling chanting sell the team I don’t know why they took offense to it because I’m sure they hear much worse things on social media and when they’re playing away games it’s just I think when the fans say

That it is it can be warranted sometimes because I think it was Keith Smith that said either Keith Smith or S facini was one of their tweets maybe it was somebody else or there saying like a good team is a product of a great a great owner and that is why there are

Some teams that are always near the top because they have an owner that is invested and really cares about the product they’re putting on the floor or the field and sometimes with Tom gors it doesn’t really seem that way but then there are other times where he’s willing

To spend the money where it does so I don’t know we’ll we I guess we’ll give it a few more years to see how he really cares about this team but I didn’t think selling the team team chant was that bad and it’s just an odd thing for them to

Bring up in their press conference I don’t know if there’s more to it or not yeah I I saw the comments um you know the the way the players took it was like you know if you’re not with us during this losing streak then don’t be

With us when we you know start winning games and my thought process behind this and I even saw some you know fans like tell the beat reporters like hey like tell the play is that this isn’t directed towards them yeah and that’s the way I took it too because when we

Were playing I want to say it was the Nets uh there was really loud of fans saying sell the team and the way I took it it wasn’t directed towards the players it was directed towards the owner at the end of the day that was directed toward Tom Gores because a lot

Of Pistons fans speculated with the selda team chance oh you want to move the Pistons you want them to re locate no I mean you can sell the team and still keep the team in Detroit yeah I I I think a lot of people when they read

The Tom gor letter to the fans quote unquote it wasn’t really a letter but you know what I mean um when they saw the last quote saying we’ve done a lot into the community outside of winning basketball games I think that just pissed fans off a lot but like dude no

One gives a if you’re charitable winning basketball game should be your number one priority nobody cares that you donate you know bicycles to these kids like actually put that same amount of effort into a winning product on the floor and we won’t be on your ass and I

I I think that’s what a lot of fans were you know trying to explain to the players and these beat Riders like we’re not attacking you like we just don’t like the owner here we think he should sell the team to someone that’s more serious about winning basketball games

Because over the last 15 years this you know organization hasn’t won a lot of basketball games they’ve made the playoffs but they’ve gotten bounced in the first round for you know the last two times they have made the playoffs I think more fans were directed towards

The a their anger towards Tom Gores not the players yeah I don’t know why the players took it that way either because yeah I’m not I would never say anything crazy about I mean we’ll talk about the players like we always do on the podcast

But nothing is just too crazy or out of pocket and when I’ve said sell the team it was never because of the players on the floor it was it was just the overall you know I just felt like the owner there are certain odors in sports it

Doesn’t seem like they care cuz like there’s no incentive to win basketball games or football games or baseball or hockey games like you get to keep your team regardless there’s no criteria for being an an owner in professional sports you just got to have the money and

That’s it so it’s just more of like dude you sell the team give me a guy or give me a a woman in place that wants to bring a winning team to Detroit I would take that over anything and I don’t see that as offensive at all I mean I just

Don’t and I’m it’s a little disappointing that the players took it that way and if Ashton’s watching right now like please tell Kade we didn’t mean we weren’t calling out the players we were just calling out the owner of the team that’s all we were

Doing yeah uh I I I made it pretty clear like my my frustration towards the sell the team chance was not directed towards any of the players yeah and like I explained that on Instagram like I have no problems with any of the players on the Pistons I think my frustration as a

Fan over the last couple of years has been an owner that is just not around not involved enough in my opinion um I told you you get three times a year you you get when a player gets drafted you get a mid-season game uh whether that’s the Lakers or the Clippers and

Then you get a April press conference when he comes to town of you know the whole media swarming him asking him what went wrong wrong this season Tom like that’s the three times a year you will see or hear from Tom Gores he’s just not available and another thing you cannot

Pat yourself on the back for being a charitable person because then it just kind of goes out the window like if you want to donate to charity cool um No One’s Gonna Pat you on the back for it like you should do it because you you

Want to do it you shouldn’t do it because you want to brag on it like oh you know I’ve done you know multi-billion Dollar Deals and I’m a very charitable person like dude nobody cares about that they don’t like if it’s great you’ve built tons of basketball

Courts you’ve done tons um with the his Flint out Flint now project like he’s done a lot of great for the community I’m I’m not saying that but when you go in an article and say like hey um outside of weighing basketball I’ve done a lot like dude nobody cares yeah and

You he could still do that stuff because he’s a billionaire like you don’t have to do it as the Detroit Pistons you could just do it as Tom you know what I’m saying and you’d probably get more praise doing it that way than you would just saying like hey look at all check

All these things off no the one box I one checked off is a winning basketball team that’s literally all I care about that that is all I care about when it comes for the Detroit Pistons it’s literally a tax write-off too so you’re not that charitable

Dude tax season’s right now man you need those writeoffs and you know all that charity is a tax right up at the end of the day that’s what you got to tell that’s what you got to remind yourself like hey man that’s true that’s [Applause] [Applause] True
