And what’s the ONE move you want Detroit to make this summer? 👇🔥
Defensively the Pistons would have gave the Knicks match up problems. That's why the league got them out the way
Levert and two second for klay Duncan Robinson two second for cam Johnson don't give Duren more than 38.5 or get walker Kessler
I’m fine with cam carr or yax
Who cares about Beasley fam! Like for real. He's streaky! We need a CJ McCollum type! Consistent play!
The goal for the Pistons is to get to the eastern conference finals and the NBA Finals! They have to make a move in free agency to help Cade out.
Imagine trading up and getting Darius Acuff…. 😮😯😲
Knicks starting 5 is like 250 million
Either Trajan is really good at playing hookie or Malik did that for content. But we’ll see 👀
They need to trade that pick and get some established players that can help now.
I say move up get cam carr and get out of the trey Murphy talks they want too much and these players are very similar
Man giving up a young stud like JD for an average role player like Murphy is asinine..they should stand pat, bring Beasley back, bring Duncan back, and draft the best player. Free agent wise Kyrie would be that one piece I want
I think Trajan Langdon was telling the truth
I would keep Duren, get the best player available in the draft and take it over the top with Trey Murphy, strike right now and we can win a Championship!
Great podcast. I like the Gm’s approach. Move slow and methodically. We don’t want to trade stew or Holland and regret it. Remember Bruce Brown, Kris Middleton, and Spencer Dinwidde? I think with the growth of the core and adding CJ MC Collum and Rui or Trae Young and some mid tier players would be sufficient. New York just won a ship off trades and the year before OKC won a ship off development. I’ll take OKC any day over New York
Fake ass King
I have to bring the comedy to the channel.
But who in the he'll is the man In the clip art on the Offseason blueprint cause that's not Trajan Langdon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Help Cade by putting him at SF where he belongs
Pistons need to get that guard from Arkansas
Hopefully they make moves this offseason. Even though the Pistons are trending towards the right direction but they gotta get Cade some help.
Are they gonna bring back unc!? And would you bring Beasley back
