PJ. WASHINGTON will be a great fit. I think we can trade for him without trading one of our young guys
Bam Adebeyou
Both are exactly the type of power forward we need to be an elite team. Tobias has been great but PF is definitely the position to get a perfect piece
Give Ivey and fonty for Sabonis
You don't "subtract" from this core – you "add to it" – in the off season. And PuuuLLLEEZZZE none of this – "trading our core for a superstar" BS – just look around the league and see how well that nonsense pans out.
Run it back get another big in the draft 7 footer , get I've back and insert Klintman into the lineup.
Ivy should. Play next year!
Zion should be a great addition
JI is that guy don't fool yourself He is a winner it's in his dna
We next
I don’t expect a drastic change in personnel for another year. Pistons will have to make a serious move to get Cade a legit star running mate. The top of the East isn’t going anywhere and the Pistons can’t stand pat
We do not make a big trade for any position but a power forward who can shoot the three. I feel good about our wings
