Because the cap hit will prevent the Pistons from ever building around him. And he's had an injury riddled career. He's a great player but will never lead this team to a championship. Philly lost tonight but I like their plan better.

Building around an injury riddled albeit younger core?

He certainly can’t play those minutes if he’s going to make 82 games. Great game.

3 games in and this conversation already. Yawn.

Do you think this franchise can compete to get to the conference finals? Hell, I will be happy if they win a single playoff series. And the east sucks.

Pistons are lucky to have Casey and 3-0 is a nice start.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-10-24, 00:18

5 seed ceiling. No advice on what they should do with their roster.

What I would like them to do. Get a bunch of assholes who are good at basketball but who would injure other people to win and that Jim Harbaugh would hate.

It’s too early to say much of anything outside the warriors will win the nba finals.

It’s 3 games in. Sometimes you get sick of hearing from the armchair sports executives.

Reading through last night's portion of this thread was pretty funny.

by Clarett's Folly 2018-10-24, 09:43

My feelings on Andre and Reggie J remain the same: not elite but who're we going to get that's better? We don't attract high-profile free agents so that's out. Anyone we trade for would have to be along the lines of Griffin, a fantastic player with a horrendous contract. All things considered Dre and Reg are pretty good options for us.

Sixers at Bucks at 8:30 Milwaukee time. WTF? Especially considering it's not the weekend. If I was a Bucks fan with season tickets I'd be pissed. Fuck ESPN and its programming schedule.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-10-25, 00:22

Steph is back. MVP Steph. 51 through 3. Actually 3rd q isn't over yet.

Nuggets -3. Monte Morris. Gary Harris. Lebron James.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-10-26, 00:35

Nuggets are good and will be for the foreseeable future.

Are the warriors in trouble? Curry is hurt so that means they will probably rebound but they've been terrible since the fight

Boban is hilarious. On Game Time on NBA TV right now. Talking his love of Ariana Grande.

by Guest 2018-11-26, 19:31

Article on the Clippers non-star approach.

They can thank SVG for Tobias, Boban and Alexander (Bridges selected with the Pistons pick and traded for him)

The Clippers Haven’t Needed a Superstar to Be Great

To be fair Blake looks great this year if he can stay healthy - I still don't think that if you consider the length and amount of his contract he was worth that haul.

Watching the Jazz vs Nets. Golbert has a few dunks already.

by **steveschneider** 2018-11-28, 19:54

Every point the Jazz has scored is a Golbert dunk. Throw it down big man!!!

Steven Adams is a good dude

Steven Adams passes up easy points to save Mason Plumlee from a hard fall
