Did yall not hear Trajan say he’s going to build this slowly?? He said he’s not skipping any steps. So how does trading away Ivey & our 5th just to become mediocre & cap us out. And we’re not gathering any future picks in the process! Are yall from Detroit or LA? Cuz yall stuck in la la land!! Shout out to Richmond Ca!!!
Thank you for clarifying when this segment was filmed. Makes more sense. ….How is announcing “we’re not going after home runs but rather bunt singles” going to strengthen our negotiations with FA’s & GM’s???
I understand that these were hypothetical scenarios but even then some can classified in the “No Way in Hell” category 😂😂😂 Maxey leaving Philly, Anunoby not re-signing with the Knicks 🤔Talk about having to overpay, those 2 would show what that Detroit Tax looks 😳like JMO 🤷🏾♂️
@@Jamar-lg9ob yeah there’s that talk also of him wanting a larger offensive role. He’s one of the best 3&D wings who can legitimately guard 1-4. But he is not a 1 or 2 option. Plus he does get injured, not long term but he can miss extended periods of time
@@Jamar-lg9ob are you talking about OG? Does he make us a play-in team? The same can be asked of Maxey 🤷🏾♂️ Filling a need is a step in the right direction. What else is to be expected for this team. The only way is up🤷🏾♂️
2026? We cannot trade until 2028, because of the protection to the knicks… come on guys, one of the worsts videos of you guys… all unreallistic or impacient
What would be your plan? It’s just hypothetical fun we had this past week on the show. Nic Claxton and Brandon Ingram are very real free agent options for the Pistons too as has already been reported.
Ingram is more like Blake. Grant wasn't a big name and doesn't have a history of injury. Durens defense is bad and offense is limited. Under the rim players with average defense aren't valuable in today's NBA. Sadly his trade value is probably much lower than fans think.
If we not talking on how to build a championship team then I don want to talk to you! Send me somebody who talking championship ball. I don’t care about making the fucking play in.
When is the last time a team went from 60+ losses to a championship in one summer. Pistons need to improve to even get to the point where they can start to take the final steps towards a title.
Yea, this ain’t it. Justin gave almost zero realistic names outside of the 5 FAs that have rumored connections here. Also… can WE PLEASE STOP WRITING UP TRADES OF FIRST RD PICKS WE DONT HAVE. We cannot trade a 1st rd pick until 2028, waiting on the Knicks protections to clear then waiting 2 years for the Stepien rule to clear from those protections (cause that pick ain’t conveying). Every media outlet nation wide has proposed trades of 1st rd picks since 2020, when every pick from 2020-2026 was tied up.
I feel like we can get OG if we throw him a bag remember the rumors of why he wanted to leave Toronto because he wanted a bigger offensive role so if the Knicks run it back he moves down the pecking order over there. With us he has the opportunity to be a number 2 option 🤷🏽♂️
Brandon Ingram is a bad fit for the Pistons. It would be a terrible move. He's not a great floor spacer for Cade, he dominates the ball, and he's not that great of a defender. Or am I missing something?
Injuries are the real problem. Ingram is efficient from three. He gives us a second passer playmaker. Cade might not know it yet but he needs some sort of point on the floor with him.
@@pheralanpathfinder4897 1.) Ingram is a league average 3 point shooter, not what we need. 2.) it's Ivey's job to be the secondary playmaker and he's better at that than Ingram. 3.) if it were true that Cade should play next to a point guard, that's definitely not Ingram, so I'm not sure why you added that.
That was the WORST PRESS CONFERENCE in the history of press conferences!!! Horrible on every level. Gores doesn’t know, nor care, anything about basketball. “Thread it together” and “attention to details” does not tell us anything and don’t mean anything. Not getting any free agents? “Trade for assets”. What an idiot. That’s what WE’VE been doing!!! 😡
I don't like the plan, but many fans want to keep tanking. It's silly to say Gires doesn't care. If it were true he wouldn't give Monty the crazy contract let alone pay him to go away.
@@scottwickett1273 more teams have built a championship team without tanking than teams which have done so by tanking. And I'm not talking FA destination teams.
We do quite well. Nothing wrong with throwing around hypotheticals from the internet. Live a little. We have tons of other content on this channel with more to come. So obviously you’re free to watch what you want and avoid what doesn’t vibe. Hope we have some content that appeals better to you.
@@WoodwardPistons Maxey is a RFA in what world do you think the 6ers wouldn’t match any offer made to maxey ? That’s why this shit makes zero sense. And monk going back to the kings
@@blkjezuz6310 it’s all hypothetical. And there are paths in which they don’t match with maxey depending on what they do to complete the roster. They’re being linked to other high priced free agents and want to do all they can to win a chip.
@@WoodwardPistons what other high priced free agents? LeBron James? 😂😂😂 man stop. And you’re not going to sign a mid 30’s pg to 4 years and let a young coming into his prime maxey walk. Y’all getting paid just do better for your audience
Don't understand trading Ivey athleticism can't be taught he's only been in the league 2 years let him develop like ant man did you trade Ivey it will come back to haunt the pistons
The Pistons should target Jordan Clarkson Matthew brogden in the back court bring back Christian wood for 10 million a dollar draft weare from Indiana. Draft Zach Eady
@@pheralanpathfinder4897 statistically Duren and Claxton are almost the same person, not to mention that you JD is one of top rebounded in the Association. Only place Claxton dwarkfs him is defensively. Btw, do you really think Bagley is better or worth more than JD 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
We know. The segment was from Wake Up Woodward show via Woodward sports before he was signed. This is just a replay for the Woodward Pistons family to spur free agent conversation and find out what others like
I commented this on another video but this confirms I was right , I can barely listen to this anymore yall so impatient that y’all want mediocrity. I guess that’s why y’all on here and tragan in the GM
lol using this clip of a segment in which our intern wanted to pose questions to me as a credentialed beat reporter is your prerogative to have. If the content isn’t to your liking, you don’t have to be here. Instead you take the time to try and throw shots. Yall never cease to amaze me. I professionally cover the team and I’m grateful for that. I have a good relationship with the Detroit Pistons organization and I’m grateful for that. I’m happy with the work my team and I have put in. Hope you find out there whatever it is that you’re seeking.
Thunder fan here trust me be patient and Langdon gotta hit on his picks even this yrs weak class he at least needs to hit on a solid role guy but yall are drafting high enough to maybe hit on a nice starter at the least Detroit is now pretty much like OKC gonna have to build through the draft because it's not a top FA destination and personally bro I think your doing a good job covering your team the few times I've checked yall out I liked your views on your team now since I'm a outsider just watching anything NBA n Draft or FA related I'm not as invested as your other watchers that actually are pistons fans 😉 but I did root for the bad boys in 89 and the 04 team because I can't stand LA lol
@@WoodwardPistons I’m seeking for our fans to stop being so irrational. I apologize for the shot . It was an emotional post . I’m seeing people say trade duren not I’m seeing a video titled what do we need to make the plan in ?” Is that what we satisfied with ? The play in ?
@@armontimuzic6785teams need to make the playoffs before they win a title. Even the Super Friends in Miami didn't win a title year one. How many more years of tanking before fans realize it doesn't work?
It’s really sad that everyone is ready to give rid of Jaden Ivey just after two years. The first year he had no help as a rookie and they still won more games, and a second year in which Monty ruined for Ivey - on top of every thing he was still the only player that played the most games both years. I wish the best for him I hope when he leaves Detroit everyone here will regret it just like a bunch of players that we traded before. Anyways just my thoughts. I know Ivey has been a bit disappointing but who wouldn’t be in his situation. I want to give him one more year with a good coach that will put the players in the right spot.
Ivey will be in the mix for MIP after the Pistons trade him. Was the trade Ivey hype coming from Monty or Cade? We might find out next season. Or this summer.
