Good for building culture nothing more nothing less
Cade is going to be fun to watch run iso every game
He’s a good developmental coach, but that’s a rough situation he’s walking into
I can’t imagine Cade is very happy by this point
Cade is my current “Keep the phone warm” guy, if he wants out a DG for Cade swap might work for both teams
I mean I kinda expected this. This is his bread and butter kind of situation. He’ll be good for them for the next couple years
I’m still bitter about JB seeming like the leak in the Allen drama. With that said, I think he’s a great starter coach and knows how to coach up young guys. This is the right move for Detroit.
Feels like when Hue went to the Bengals
Makes sense
He’s good at turning 20 win teams around, that isn’t surprising
I told Pistons fans they should hire JB and I got shit on for it.
Yep. JB is good at bringing culture and stability to a Young team. Thing is, Atkinson is kind of the same. While I think it was good to move on without JB, I don’t think we will see a huge upgrade in the wins column or the playoffs.
Edit: typo
Good for JB. Fact is that he’s been a winning coach the last few seasons and now gets a chance to fix a dumpster fire of an organization. I wish him moderate sucess.
As expected the Borego to Detroit reports were all just leverage plays by his camp.
JB is perfect to build the culture of a young team.
