It's not what you give up, it's what you bring in. Questionable chemistry guy who doesn't pass and a huge contract who will want extension. It has potential to backfire and make the pistons worse. Chemistry is real. I'm not against it, but I'd want very good vibes from MPJ and his camp before bringing him in. We will need our first rd picks when we get in the Aprons
MPJ is fool's gold. Rather stick with the young guns, make a minor move at the deadline, and have a ton of cap space for the summer. We need those first round picks as we start approaching those cap aprons and the picks will be used to fill out the roster.
Listening to people who don't understand basketball talk about basketball is really painful sometimes. They think it's 2k
Giannis and Brunson make zero sense together. None. It's oil and water. If NY were going to trade for Giannis you would trade Brunson and keep KAT. (But they wouldn't trade Brunson.)
If we trade for Giannis, he's 31 with a not great injury history so we need to be able to contend NOW. Giannis needs shooting. We have zero. Yes, Giannis and Cade makes sense but there are 3-4 trades that need to happen to flip the team into an actual contender built around Giannis
For those that say no to trading a couple picks for an upgrade, what else would you rather do with the picks? Draft more Bobi klintmans and Sassers? Give me the guy shooting 40 percent from 3 on 10 attempts
this player even EXISTING in trade news for PISTONS is literally stupid…. when TREY MURPHY is right there…. either get trey murphy or stand pat simple and case closed
The alleged offers I would happily take. But anything more than that and I decline. MPJ is an injury prone bad defender so letās not go overboard with his price tag
Iād be fine giving up Ausar, Iād prefer to keep Ron though, heās got a higher floor then Ausar and while his potential isnāt quite as high, I think heās got a more realistic chance of reaching that potential vs Ausar who despite his absurd athleticism Iām not sure heāll be anything more than that. An absolute defense monster with hops, but no handle or shooting range or touch.
Smh I can't wait until for the trade deadline to pass. The only thing that people and podcasters talk about regarding this team is the trade deadline, Ivey and Levert. Nothing else.
I only give up one of Ausar/Holland. Prefer to keep Ausar because he can guard more positions and is a dawg. We need more firepower to ensure this year isnāt waisted. I donāt think too many people realize how open this conference is. If we donāt take the leap to improve, someone else will.
Langdon is pretty subtle, heās not making big splash moves: Schroeder, etc. I think we need a better defender than MPJ who can also shoot, for when Duren or Stew are out.
"The picks won't mean anything!" This is true on paper, but dealing picks now makes the Pistons less able to make big splash moves in the future. Teams like the Bucks, Clippers, Lakers, and Suns are learning that the hard way right now.
Herniated lumbar discs. He has had THREE surgeries on his spine already. Iām not into trading anything important for him. And Iām not giving up young prospects. He is having a career year, but buying on a guy who could be at his peak and then become physically unable to handle the rigors of an NBA season? Nope.
They should trade for Ja Morant. Probably wouldnāt cost them that much. Go big or go home! If he goes to the knicks I donāt see the pistons beating them in the playoffs.
A Knicks fan shouldnāt be doing Detroit Sports radioā¦ Idiotic takesā¦ JI has been back less than 25 games from a catastrophic injury and because heās not putting up all star numbers yet trade him or trade Ron Holland because some guy who can shoot a bunch of threes and doesnāt fit team system is availableā¦.. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ This entire station should be fired.
I want Giannis not mhj you go to mil and swap Giannis , Gary Trent jr and Taurean prince for Tobias Harris , Ivey , holland and 3 unprotected 1st in 2026 , 2028 and 2030 Your starting 5 Cade, Duncan Robinson, ausar, Giannis , duren your bench Gary Trent jr, beef stew, Taurean prince, Cariās lavert , Paul Reed , Marcus sassar , Javonte green , bobi Klintman, and Chaz Lanier tell me thatās not a tough out for any team any the eastern conference and at least a punchers chance for a chip
2 years ago, i wanted to build around Ivey. Now we have to trade him before he lose all value if he hasn't already. Attach Ausar or Holland with Ivey, Tobias for his contract an any future 1st pick for a Michael Porter Jr, Jaren Jackson or Lauren M.
As a delivery driver I have to agree with Mike on the opening, WAY TOO MANY people in this metro area cannot drive in snow, itās fucking embarrassing

Did MPJ ask of a sudden start passing the ball and playing defense???
its about the chemistry this is a super young team and they are cooking

F MPJ and F U Valenti
2 dumbest entities on the airwaves

there is no Leningrad anymore! They have Zenith Sank-Petersburg and Locomotive Moscow
yes, lets go to the finals! Make a move Pistons!
Mike is so right! It's incredible how quickly people in MI forget how to drive when it snows, even though they've been doing it their whole life.
I wouldnāt trade Ausar heās really the only one listed I just donāt want to let go of
The piston morons are back ššš

I agree, JI has lost a step but I put that on the injury, he could be back to that player we knew heāll be but if they can get MPJ, do it

Thanks for listening whiny pistons fans who get upset when this show doesnāt glaze your precious pistons to infinity
They really appreciate your consistent and predicative response whenever this show talks about the pistons
āI dont eat porkā but you have a huge beer belly headass š šš¾

Need to keep holland and assuar because itās not that many good wings that plays great d
But we can trade tobasis , lavert, Ivey, Bobby kitman, sassar and some draft picks. For porter jr.
Do not trade our wings. They will be very important against plays brown , Mitchell , maxey, Brunson , and sga

Mike is the Don Rickles of sports hype.
Mpj has a degenerative back condition, I believe. He is often in a lot of pain and it can affect his movement.
Herniated lumbar discs. He has had THREE surgeries on his spine already. Iām not into trading anything important for him. And Iām not giving up young prospects. He is having a career year, but buying on a guy who could be at his peak and then become physically unable to handle the rigors of an NBA season? Nope.

Mike sounds so brain dead taking basketball smh . Our best 3 pt shooter Duncan Robinson would be DNP come playoff time ?š¤¦š¾āāļø
Trading Ausar is crazy
Nahhh lego foot is crazy
Don't act as if Porte Jr is any kind of defender
Valenti doesn't know basketball, because he ignores defense. Ivey is a better keep over Porter Jr.
Valenti didn't buy into Cade at the beginning of last season, so why would his take on Holland, Ivey or Ausar mean anything
I can tell Mike doesnāt even watch the games stop with the takesā¦.
