Re: Pistons FORM A FU¢¥^✓ing WALL! 2018-19 thread

And spare me the idea that the Jazz or Bucks were just superior drafters when they took those players. That’s silly. Take Mitchell and Kennard... who would the Jazz have taken if they picked first? Unknowable. They didn’t have to make that choice. Reality is that they got lucky. Sucks, but thems the breaks.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Also the pistons should trade for dewayne Dedmon. Doesn’t matter what it takes. All the first round picks. Go get him.

I don’t know man but he’s hilarious

[duffy munn]

Just get rid of Reggie Jackson & Drummond and draft decent - while playing Kennard as much as possible. Whatever happens, happens - but know that duff will be here to tell us a franchise that has been mediocre for what 12-13 years is mediocre.

Here's my hot take OTPT. The Pistons will never be a championship contender with Tom Gores as their owner. I think the guy is clueless and in way over his head. Hell, I'm not even sure if he cares about winning.

Absentee ownership rarely works in any business. Neither does coked up ownership.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

The words “absentee ownership rarely works in any business” don’t make any sense in a country where thousands of the most successful companies don’t have owners but have many many shareholders who may or may not even know where the company’s office is.

You know what whatever it wouldn’t be a kickass hot take without loads of hyperbole

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Duffy has some sort of weird grudge against gores and blow. I liked it better when we were talking about roster moves but ya gotta take the good with the bad. For every bill Cain, there’s a Duffy.

Yeah. It’s very very lazy to just put all of the blame on the owner and wash your hands of it. It’s a lot more fun to spread the blame around. Like mustard on a blame sandwich.

CHAUNCEY FAMILY!

While we are in hot take ville, let’s hire Chauncey or bill laimbeer. Yes!

Ok, OTPT. Tell me why you have any faith in Tom Gores as a NBA owner. Sorry but showing up occasionally and sitting court side while blown out is not going to get it done.

What exactly do you think an nba team owners role is?

[steveschneider]

Saw the last minute. Looks like Kennard put up a decent stat line and Casey was singing his praises. Let’s hope this trend continues.

He convinced Dwayne casey to come here. Love the random guys on the internet that think they know shit about owners. Oh he does blow he must be bad. Square.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Oh I just remembered that Duffy was one of those weirdos that hated leaving the palace. That’s his gores beef otpt. 

FYI duff- it’s been way way way better attending games downtown on just about every level.

I agree Casey was a good hire. As for blow, sorry dude but it's a bad drug. This opinion does not make be square. How many full blown coke heads do you know that didn't eventually crash and burn?

New place sucks. Hockey and basketball. They blew that arena. If you’re saying being downtown before and after the game, yeah, but from sight lines to comfort they blew that one.

Just my opinion.

Uppers are bullshit horrible. Place has zero character. I think the palace was a better design. I also liked the joe better.

Agreed. I think the coaching position is overrated by the fans to an extent. It really is a players league but Dwane is one of the good ones.

My favorite arena to see Pistons game was the Silverdome. Loved the energy.

The uppers are closer than the palace were. It’s easy to forget but the uppers at the palace were lower but way further back.

And I don’t even know what the fuck “it has character” means. Sounds like some boomer shit. I suppose longevity probably plays a lot into character (whatever it is anyway)

Here’s a thought, the fact that this debate should even be happening g with all the architectural advancements since the palace was built is complete bullshit. Both you and I should be jaw dropping amazed at a new place. And frankly, from day one nobody is saying shit like that. This isn’t a pissing contest Travis, we’ve walked the concourse we’ve watched the games. It’s an average venue And that’s a crime. Oh well, I’ll still go to games and co certs there.

Ah. The issue is your expectations dog. What do you want out of sitting in the upper deck of an arena? How is that going to wow you? It’s the upper deck. What advancements in upper deck technology came through since the palace that they missed?

My advice dwags- splurge a little. Get better seats. Go explore. I bet you’ll come around. It’s better than the palace and 40x better than joe Louis.

Tell me your point dwags. Tell me about the architectural advancements in upper deck technology that you thought should be there that aren’t. Perhaps the upper deck should actually be the lower deck. It’s 2019. It only makes sense.

[DWags]

Whatevs Travis. Keep your focus on upper deck and not the pedestrian concourse. I’ll make sure to purchase premiums to make the gray boring concourse and shitty restaurants better. Cool. Place sucks. Downtown continues to improve.

The weird grey office section of the concourse is pretty boring and well, office like.... but that’s only 1/4 of it that’s semi unexplained. I’ll give you that. Did you go to the rest of it though dwags? I don’t think you did from the sounds of it.

The people that occupied that place were the best though and I loved that arena. They used to give away tickets at gas stations so you’d get working class folks in there that would bring the energy. I remember the first time I went to the Palace it felt like a library in comparison. .
