Pistons Didn’t Get Max Value At Trade Deadline | The Valenti Show with Rico

Pistons Didn’t Get Max Value At Trade Deadline | The Valenti Show with Rico

All right I’m looking to talk to the people uh if you’ve tuned in expecting uh you know me to go nuts I I can’t this Pistons team it’s hysterical in a morbid way I mean it’s it’s just like man I hand selected chairs for you to throw I

Know buddy I don’t have it I don’t have it because I don’t have a handle on what’s going on as I said to you yesterday I am not in the business of just being unfair I can’t make fun of Fontano or Grimes they don’t deserve that they’re nobody’s it is what is Troy

Weaver’s plan if there is one at all and trading bogdanovich and Burks in the same deal and netting Grimes and two second round that that’s just awful and please don’t straw man argument me with well the Knicks weren’t offering a want your job as a general

Manager is to create a market or to better the market that exists over the last 18 months I’ve wanted bogey traded so now it’s just Jeremy Grant part two where you didn’t get maximum value you know who got better in that trade the Knicks mhm I’d argue you traded Burks

And bogdanovich for two guys who will never play in a playoff game while they’re here and two picks that you’ll never know the name of how did we get better today now we have 40 minutes I will tell you this Rico asked a question credit to him can

The Pistons get your interest back in any way shape or form here’s the only way I’d be interested they have to have one of those big mafioso meetings and go raise your hand if you want to build around Cade raise your hand if you want to

Build around Ivy you only get one and I’m trading the other guy pick your point guard and build a team around them last night case in point all right no Cade Ivy gets to be ball dominant 37 closes him out he looks like a different player right yeah and Cade I think

Kade’s an excellent player but he can’t play with Ivy so we tried it it hasn’t worked you want my interest you got to shake up this core and you’ve got to show me a plan yeah because in that scenario I would be the one saying I

Want to keep Ivy you got to let K go cuz I think k more marketable get you something I am not going to knock anybody’s opinion Rico you have every right to feel that way I I don’t even want to go down the road I’m telling you asked me the question

What could they do to get your attention that cuz at least it would be a Line in the Sand organizationally this is who we’re building around see I don’t even think getting the number one pick in this upcoming draft would mean anything because people would look at players and

Say I have no idea it’s kind of like looking at this team right now I have no idea what I’m looking at is this guy good I don’t know is it weak to say that in order to get me back they have to I have to know what the plan is because

Here’s the thing and people were saying well you all wanted bogy to be traded you all wanted moris to be traded absolutely yeah but not for nothing yeah that’s the thing and because you don’t have a plan it looks like oh my gosh doesn’t it feel like Troy Weaver is the

Mark it’s like sitting down at a poker game and you know the guy who’s all pilled out of his mind and hammered and you go well he’s losing his money tonight like that’s Troy Weaver not in the pilled out drunk for format I mean just as the mark the guy

Everyone knows they can get over on it’s very aesque to me and and that’s where I was that’s what was leaning me in that direction because I always say to me it’s always like that one guy if you play Fantasy Football that you knew oh

Yeah I can work a trade with this guy well that’s the thing because I don’t trust while they need to have a plan I don’t trust Weaver to be the one to implement the David I think you can see what his plan is from a mile away it’ll be this summer

Attempting to get Tobias Harris at a max deal at 32 years old is that is that going to get your attention of course not you know miles Bridge’s agent Rich Paul um they they were going to veto any deal today he’s going to get to be an unrestricted free agent now obviously

Charlotte has his bird rights but Le let’s say the off season was Tobias Harrison my bridges what does that make a 30- win team is that like think about the grand scheme here guys 30 and 52 here I’ll tell you what I’ll do for you I’ll give you 35 wins cuz I’m just

Feeling so effing generous here’s 35 and 47 what does that do we are on a road to nothing maybe put you in a playing game and it would have to be an extremely down year um let’s get to the people let’s see what they have to say and if you can identify a

Plan happening I would love to hear from you let’s go to Jeff to lead off today Jeff how you doing brother oh pretty good how are you guys I’m okay now I was baffled by how we got three people over the limit and there’s not Five Guys that can play

Basketball and I really think they should go into drug testing CU there is no logic behind what he’s doing yeah I mean it’s it’s it’s it is very difficult Jeff to figure out exactly what what are they doing how excited should I be because there’s nothing about this that screams

Excitement there’s nothing about this that makes me feel like Troy weer and the Pistons are on the right path to getting back to a playoff team and that recent question how could we get interested back in the Pistons this year I think they should just allow

Them to go full Globe Trotter make crazy passes and bounce shots and that’s about the only way you’re going to get me to watch it the rest of the year all right well H wow yeah that not optimal uh let’s just go over to Larry 971 Larry

What’s going on buddy I’m good how are you guys hey Larry uh so uh I heard before where you were saying it’s the moves of a Madman it it’s not moves of a Madman this is he has the brain of a kid that’s eating crayons in the

Corner it doesn’t make sense any of the moves you’re not getting anything back and if you are it’s like you said for something in 2030 who’s even going to Care by that point because nobody cares right now exactly look that that’s the thing and this is where again Larry if you had an

Owner who who was engaged if you had an owner that was remotely knowledgeable about running a sports team or if you had good people in the organization to guide him none of which that that you have the owner would recognize this is a failed State and we have to restart this

Is a rebuild of a rebuild I mean think about Troy Weaver all he’s done basically is attempt to fix one of the most egregious Summers we’ve ever seen you you played the role of horse fluffer to the Nets and you took took Joe Harris while they went to the mating barn and

Got cam Johnson you paid Marvin Bagley and then had to bribe a team to take him because it was a mistake by you you have waved the first draft pick you’ve ever had you got nothing for sadique Bay unless you consider the dead body of James wisman something and you have beef

Stew who might get dealt in the next 30 minutes you have pieces that don’t fit you just took the two best Shooters you have and the two best vets you have that combined are about 35 points a game and the return on those is maybe a backup guard in Grimes and

And two seconds one problem everything I listed beforehand vaporizes those second round picks out of all of this I think you netted one pick so one pick Fontano and Grimes and you’ve just released every other player headed your way sounds about right now you want this

Man in this city to hit free agency and have a landmark off season one problem look at the free agent list Demar D rozan old can’t shoot it not from Deep he can’t Klay Thompson yeah right Pascal cakam yeah right who Tobias Harris at age 32 miles Bridges and all of his court

Dates is that what we’re doing what’s what like guys help me help me CU I’m one step this is essentially what would happen if David was explaining the Bible to me help me I cannot fathom we’re in this spot it’s a failed State you cannot allow somebody who has burnt their own

House down twice to be allowed in the kitchen anymore so but that’s what a real owner would do Troy Weaver wouldn’t be here and we’d begin executing someone else’s plan I think all today tells me is Troy Weaver’s here for the long go yeah that’s it right there because

He’s making these deals it’s astonishing isn’t it Troy I trust you and help us out here let us know what you’re doing your calls next 248 539 9797
