I’m not saying it for the specific player
But if I was the Magic, and thought Brandon Miller was a future all nba guy (I’m not saying I think this), I’d take him over Franz, god bless him, all day every day.
I don’t think you stray from BPA until you know you have a top 15 guy at the spot. Especially if you are still building.
This is why Cade and Ivey aren’t stopping me from taking Scoot
If the pistons pick turns into a comparable talent to any of those guys other than fultz…I’m in!
I liked Casey and think he fulfilled his duties of tanking while maintaining a good locker room, but this team needed a new voice. Hope they bring in a whole new staff instead of promoting one of his assistants.
I’m interested in seeing what a fresh new face can do but I’m not convinced Casey hasn’t had a positive influence on this admittedly sh#tty squad. It’s not a foregone conclusion that the next guy can keep the locker room stability and continue to nurture the young talent.
I think it’ll be a less of an issue because of Cade and Jaden leadership.
This has been speculated for a few months. It’ll be interesting to see if it actually happens.
BTW- the losing streak is over!
I would not be surprised if Ivey ends up as the best player in the draft. Jaden Ivey's Stat Last 10 Games | StatMuse
Yeah I mean he’s coached an unserious team (not just in terms of talent but roster construction - no wings, two shooters, 68 centers) for three years, I don’t think his tenure really says anything about his quality. He succeeded in molding the Raptors into a real team, I think he could still have a role here.
Oh I definitely think he should be part of the organization. And I was never one to think he was a terrible coach that needed to be fired.
But I think at a certain point, you need to hear a new voice. Especially when you’ve been losing. Sometimes you’ve just learned everything you’re going to learn from one person. (I always tell students who are deciding between a 2nd class with me and a class with a different lecturer, “you’ve already heard my greatest hits.”)
Soooo……Luka might request a trade at some point.
Cade+Ivey+This year’s draft pick+w/e other picks for Luka Doncic……is that viable? Would you do it if you’re the Mavs? If you’re the Pistons?
Luka is great but giving all that up for him with not much talent on the roster is a tough pill to swallow. It’s fine if you need to get over the hump from solid to good/great team.
You absolutely do it in a clinical sense
I can’t really take watching Luka play basketball
I love it but I can understand the distaste if you mostly watch him play live and not through highlights lololol
I just wish he’d shut up!
I’d rather go after Jaylen Brown who may be similarly interested in being elsewhere.
Absolutely
UMHOOPS PISTONS DRAFT BOARD
This is where it gets interesting as I have 4 players I’m considering. Who should the Pistons have 3rd on their draft board?
0 voters
I don’t really know too much about anyone outside of 1-2 aside from Brandon Miller lol
Miller is 2 years older than Cam Whitmite and ensnared in a murder investigation
I took Whitmore
