I know, I laughed about that too. It sucks for Pope.
I was actually of the opinion that they needed to match and retain him but what the hell do I know?
I sure as shit hope he stays healthy this year. 1 year deal... what the fuck...

the 5/$80 was this summer, I swear I read somewhere they offered him the 4/$80 last summer or fall. There is a chance I'm wrong, I have been before. lol

#Pistons have waived guard Michael Gbinije, who could be a candidate for a two-way contract with the Drive.

Pantry is right, Chauncey is a possibility. I'd definitely do the GM and Coach thing, I don't like the combined titles. Years ago I wanted Laimbeer to coach but his time has passed. I think you leave the coach completely in the hands of the GM.

Dumars had the opportunity to hire Laimbeer but didn't. Think it was because he was too butthurt from Laimbeer snapping a wet towel at him all those years in the locker room.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2017-08-01, 19:46

GM... sure. But hire a guy with zero coaching experience?

Laimbeer. Did he even survive the WNBA? Seems like some cliche answers to run a franchise.

3 WNBA titles coaching Detroit
Doing very well coaching in NYC right now.

I just don't see him coaching in the NBA right now.

If not Chauncey maybe someone off the Pops tree?

Can't see him being any worse than SVG, who has been long over rated. He lucked into the old Orlando gig and produced nothing.

Ever watch Chauncey on ESPN pre or post game? He knows basketball. Gores is fucking the dog every day he doesn't fire SVG.

I once scored 12 in an IM game - and that was before the 3 point shot.

by Guest 2017-08-05, 08:01

Pros and cons: Pistons interested in Kyrie Irving, but is he worth it?

The cost

ESPN.com has already played Cavs-Pistons matchmaker.

The website listed the Pistons as one of five Irving destinations with a three-team trade involving the Los Angeles Clippers getting it done.

The Pistons received: Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson.

The Clippers received: Andre Drummond, Stanley Johnson and a future Pistons first-round pick.

The Cavaliers received: DeAndre Jordan and Reggie Jackson.

So the cost to get Irving and Thompson is Drummond, Johnson, Jackson and a future first-round pick.

Would the Pistons do this deal?

Would not make that deal.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2017-08-05, 09:33

Fuck yes I would make that deal.

1- Irving

I don't love it but I don't necessarily hate it either. Our guards get a huge upgrade, Harris gets in the starting lineup but... that front line... we might get murdered on the boards.

by **Death Roe** 2017-08-08, 13:30

I'd rather take Jordan than Thompson.

Yeah, but Cleveland wouldn't go for that. If they lose Irving they're going to want more offense than Drummond can provide.

This. And I'm well past the point of Drummond being someone to build a franchise around.
