Pistons Rebuilding Gone Wrong

[John B]

14 straight loses, tying their worst. They are guards heavy. Anyway we get Ivey from them? Hook it up Monty

[Obstructed_View]

Trading picks? There's nobody they want.

Blair, bonner, Neal and a 1 for Ivey

Blair, bonner, Neal and a 1 for Ivey

classic!

Hayes has been really disappointing. He could be a reclamation project…and he’s a fellow Frenchman

[The Truth #6]

This thread has the making of a classic compare /contrast of two struggling teams playing horribly with questionable coaching decisions. Ahh, fun.

I want to know more about Monty Williams and his coaching style this year. I've heard he has signed veterans and is playing them over talented younger players, specifically Jaden Ivey, for example.

Change it to a second and change Ivey to Cunningham and maybe we have a jumping off point, though I'd want them to throw another asset in tbh.

[NASpurs]

And they still have a better point differential than the Spurs

[Mugen]

Better than the Spurs at least

[Mugen]

It's what happens when you pick from the soft branch of the Old Man tree tbh

[poopbox]

We desperately need to con them into giving us Ivey. He'd solve every problem we have and then we could start building toward something

[JeffDuncan]

And they still have a better point differential than the Spurs

Yes, by a full 5 points.

Week 5 Net:

Pistons, -7.5

Spurs, -12.5

The Spurs are dead last in the league.

They got the Ausar pick right somehow. Probably should have gone 2nd imho. His defense is already elite and if his offense comes along he could be Kawhi like.

The Pistons’ GM is Troy Weaver. He’s the one who signs the players. While we’re comparing teams and coaches, might as well compare GM’s too.

I‘m not sure the Spurs could beat the Pistons

If Pop ran a starting lineup that made sense the Spurs could beat them. Jones/Vessel/Keldon/Sochan/Wemby is the best option.

[Kevin]

Keldon and the Raps pick might be enough to pry away Ivey in the unlikely event the Pistons actually trade him away.

Monty was very critical on the team’s maturity and lack of compe iveness. Keldon could bring that and still in their timeline. I’d take a swap for Ivey. Ivey is not being used fully averaging only 25 mins

[Mugen]

They'd never trade for Ivey. I'm sure Monty has already poisoned that well that Pop would stay far away even though it'd probably be a worthwhile move. They also wouldn't banish Keldon to f'n Detroit.

Is a trade from this show really banishing?

Fair point tbh

They sure did draft a lot of point guards, that seems like a bad choice, especially with Cade not being a player to build around, it seems.

[CorrectCrusader]

Idk why y'all want bad players from awful teams

I mean they already banished him to San Antonio so I don't see why not.

Monty is a coach who gets carried by veteran players playing at an elite level. He is like old school Pop chastising young players for every little mistake and then benching them when they don't do something he thinks is correct, as if he would know what is the correct thing to do. That is why Ivey is coming off the bench and why I think he is gettable cause Monty has to have some young players in his dog house and for who knows what reason he has targeted Ivey the same way he targeted Ayton in Phoenix.
