New Year’s Resolution’s for the Detroit Pistons in 2024

New Year’s Resolution’s for the Detroit Pistons in 2024

We’re gonna play a little game all right and you have to name three New Year’s resolutions for the Pistons I have to okay yeah yeah you go with your three and I’ll go with my three man way to put me on the spot right now um three New Year’s

Resolutions for the Pistons so are we basically saying things I want to see from the Pistons it could be anything it could be a trade it could be a rotation it could be anything that you want to see them get better at okay one would be bringing Isaiah

Stewart Off the Bench to be the backup five two would be trading for a 34 that could start alongside Cade Jaden Ivy and Duren and then three would be seen more minutes given to Marcus Sasser and assar Thompson I made it easy on myself those are my three resolutions

Or my three wish list for the Pistons okay so my wish list is getting a stretch four this deadline I like it now whether you get crazy and go for Lori marinin um you go for a lower tier guy get a stretch Bo um the second New Year’s

Resolution is I want Monty I want Mony Williams to not be as stubborn with his rotations down the stretch um I I want him to call a timeout before the lead is completely gone like so many times he’ll sub all bench unit it look it it feels like a

Hockey change sometimes it’s like you have a all bench unit and we have maybe like a six to eight point lead the bench unit comes in and then it’s like a you know 10 to 12 point deficit when the starters come back in I I want M to be

More flexible with his rotations and call a time out when maybe you know the lead is getting away from them a little bit that’s my second new resolution and my third and final one this one might be um a little controversial no I I I wouldn’t say that

Um my third and final one would be um stop trying to make Deuce a thing God yes I hate that I know that’s Kate Cunningham’s nickname but some people they’re like deuce is he talking about poop talking about I’m like no like deuce is number two

Like just call him K like we already have a nickname for Kade like you know Kate icewood whatever like we don’t need to throw deuce on there like I was literally watching and my mom came down the hall she’s like did he just say Deuce like

I was like yeah Deuce like number two she’s just like oh I was just like like come on man like just call him Cade and it doesn’t make things any better that his number is number two and his nickname is D and they’re trying to make

D something thing dude it’s so like I I love Johnny Kane I I really do man um just stop trying to make it a thing man it’s it’s not yeah and on basketball reference they say His official nickname is motorcade yeah motor Cade’s way better

Than Deuce it is it’s way better um yeah but motorcade is tough to say in like a broadcast like a motorcade driving down you know what I’m saying like we got to give a really good nickname we gotta think of one I agree with you though and I want

To I love I hate the bench units I wish he wouldn’t do that that’s such a middle school way of coaching basketball like we’re just gonna it’s like a platoon thing we’re just gonna send five guys out there bring the other five if you’re not pressing the entire game there’s no

Oh I didn’t even know they called him motor K thank you yeah I did hear that that yes Brian scaleb called a motor kid multiple times he made fun of killi and Hayes a lot though during that broadcast too holy crap my guy the other guy I don’t know who the

Other broadcaster was for the Celtics but there was one moment where he was like he just kept saying ah over and over again after one play and I was just like dude I don’t I don’t know what’s better him or George blah this is incredible but Brian Scott He cracked me

Up but the bench unit thing clearing out the bench and putting five guys in that needs to go like that is and dude give minutes to Marvin Bagley I don’t know why we’re I know they I know Monty talked a little bit about why they were getting James wisman minutes they trying

To get him in Rhythm I just don’t I don’t understand that Marvin Begley’s so much better with Kate Cunningham on the floor like those two really have something and he gives you a great Lop threat so I don’t know what that is but I want to see more minutes

For Marvin Bagley going into the the new year yeah I think they’re trying to Showcase wisman or whatever reason I mean he’s not an expiring deal you know maybe a playoff team or maybe a a lower tier team that’s looking for more Center depth wants to trade for him he’s in the

Final year of his rookie deal which is like 13 million because he was a second overall pick and I’ll probably never see that again um not not not in a year anyways might be over like a two to three year period but um yeah I don’t understand like not playing baggley

Because baggley is one of your better scorers on this team which I don’t know I felt like baggley this year has really proven himself to get consistent rotation minutes but some maybe someone upstairs wants him to play more yeah because I mean he yeah that would make

Sense too but Bagley was playing with so much effort too even on the defensive end he’ll never be a lock down Defender but he could be average where he doesn’t hurt you so much on the floor and that’s another thing that bothers me you know you’re doing everything the coach

Ask but then the coach still puts you in the dog house I don’t get it but maybe you’re right maybe they are showcasing James wisman maybe Phoenix wants him or something or the Portland Trail blers I don’t know but it’s just it’s just weird to see Marvin Begley sit there when he’s

Capable of helping this team out on the floor yeah I mean I I’ve told you you know wisman is putting it together a little bit more he’s getting his confidence he hit a couple mid-range Shots tonight he he blocks he getting better it’s just he’s had such a rough roow to the

NBA with injuries and getting drafted by a team that just has expectations um that you know maybe his development hasn’t gone as smoothly as other players in his draft class because I I feel like when you play for the Golden State Warriors uh you’re not really going to make a whole lot of

Mistakes out of out of the center position I mean you think it’s some of the great centers that they’ve had like bogot and you know David Lee even though he didn’t really play center but like they were you know veteran centers that just you know they set screens they played hard they

They they didn’t take a playoff and getting a guy like that that didn’t play a whole lot of college basketball and then you got to play behind guys like Draymond Green and others it probably wasn’t the best for his development but I think there is something there I I

Just think it’s going to take a couple of years just to untap um his potential and I just don’t know if it’s going to be in a Detroit Pistons uniform because I don’t know if they’re going to extend him this summer I don’t know if he’s

Going to be just a salary dump to try to get something at the deadline um this team needs a legitimate shot blocker Off the Bench when durren hits the bench like Monty even hinted to it like I I have to play Duran longer uh because I’m not comfortable with the backup five

Position right now you could be if you moved Isaiah Stewart to the back of five you’d be a lot better like yeah that makes no sense because if you’re not comfortable with who you have make a change to the starting lineup and bring the guy that is a

Center off the bench that can help you defensively in a pinch I seems simple [Applause] [Applause] enough Yeah
