Detroit Pistons & NBA Talk

If he needs the ball in his hands is he going to take usage away from Cade and Jaden?

Doesn’t matter if they think he’s better

You don’t draft Scoot to be off-ball

I think (hope) that the front office isn’t anchored to their own guys thee way fans (understandably) are

I think you have to go BPA, but you’ll likely be sending off a good young player and getting poor value in exchange. Unless maybe Orlando is stuck with another wing and at the deadline you can offer one of Cade or Ivey for Franz?

This is the kind of wishful thinking you have to engage in when BPA leaves you with extreme positional imbalance.

You can easily stagger their minutes (Cade, Ivey, Scoot). Maybe play them together at the end of games if they can hold up defensively.

Edibles kicked in, but I instantly was trying to think of trade scenarios for Franz. I want Wemby, but a deal can be made at two. :man_shrugging:

Pistons actually have a 33% chance.

Anyone understand how the percentage works for the nba draft lottery? Doesn’t feel right that the Rockets and Spurs have the same percentage with the Pistons having 5 less wins.

The league changed the odds to try to avoid blatant tanking like The Process 76ers. The only benefit to being the worst is you can’t drop below pick 5. Otherwise your odds are the same for picks 1-3 as the other two worst teams.

That makes sense. Is it new this year?

This is the third year

But it’s pointless, because as long as there is any benefit to being the worst, tanking will still happen.

Preditction pistons will be 4th

And this backfired as it now incentivizes fringe-playoff teams to tank instead of fighting for the play-in
