Pistons Named as Darkhorse Team to Land Trae Young, does Hiring a President of BBall Ops make Sense? 

I know people make no sense

He might, which is why I don't particularly want Murray either, but at least he has shown in the past that he is capable of playing defense.

Difference between Trae and Blake is Trae is a lot younger and doesn’t get hurt all the time, plus we would be adding Trae Young to pair with Cade, a legit star instead of Andre Drummond, I see where you’re coming from with this, but there is more upside to Trae on this team than there is with Blake on that team

Fans constantly saying no to every move gets old. We must do something, stop acting like you got it figured out. Trae needs a massive guard next to him...Cade is that. I have no clue if it would work but I'd be willing to try...the Blake comparison is terrible.

How has Trae done the past 2 seasons with obviously way more talent on his side than our current squad?? How is adding Trae going to turn us into a playoff team when a Trae led Atlanta team can’t make it in? Yeah Trae is younger but he is a defensive liability who will get cooked come playoff time. Teams tighten up their defense in the playoffs! Blake meanwhile had an All Pro season & still got swept in the 1st round. And don’t tell me he got hurt or was hurt during that playoff run bc even a healthy Blake wasn’t beating that Giannis squad. And making a move simply bc you want to try something different is obviously a stupid idea. Ask yourself how many GM’s in the league operate a team with that kind of logic. None, & if they did they ass would be in the unemployment line. The problem is you guys aren’t patient. Yeah we should be better than we are going on our 5th year of this rebuild, but it would all be a waste if we accelerate the process for instant gratification just to say we made the 1st round but ultimately getting swept right out of it. Maybe just maybe, we 1st hire a POBO who is accomplished, package our draft pick along with Ivey & a future & try to go after B.I. Or maybe it would be smarter to continue to develop our core, try to acquire Tobias for $25-27M a yr for 2-3 yrs, overpay a Malik Monk or Oubre Jr on another 2-3 yrs & wait for that star player to become available who may actually want to be here along with the other pieces I mentioned. By that time our core will be ready to compete or at the very least, they don’t pan out the way we hoped & we move on from them instead of hoping yr after yr! Tryna get Trae in my opinion is being lazy. Try & be creative like the talented successful executives in this league.

@@florida1289 You ain't winning shit with Trae, it's a stupid idea.

@@jesus1stconstitution2nd68 I don’t love the trade for Trae Young, and I don’t think we should do it, but if it happens we should still be optimistic because it can work and it will at least be better than what we have now

Agreed, that's why my first two calls in free agency are Hartenstein and Claxton. I'm definitely not considering Clingan in the top five.

@@scottwickett1273 I wouldn't be mad at them taking Clingan 2 overall. At 1, that might be tough. Dalton Kinect at 2 wouldn't piss me off either lol

@@aaronquarles6574 That would be a disgustingly horrible decision either way.

Dude you said exactly what I said verbatim in this comment section. I had 2 guys try to argue in favor of Trae but he ain’t moving the needle. An under sized guard who puts up individual stats but doesn’t translate to winning. These fans on here be actin like a kid in a candy store thinking Trae is that guy but ain’t nothing but a sucker!!

Wizards cooking over in Washington, need to replace gafford , Poole was playing good finally end of the season , and give deni the ball more

I vote neither, but the real problem here is that you have to trade actual stuff to get Trae (who, to be clear, I don't want), and....they don't have actual stuff to trade because the very worst GM in the history of the sport has squandered assets left and right.

KAT would be an interesting target for sure! Thanks for watching!

The only non-crazy answer to that question is "neither".

I feel like the only 2 players I want to hold on to are Cade and Ausar and they'd both be great fits with KAT. Would just need to replace the wing room.

@@stevenhudson7591 I agree with you about who to keep, but I still wouldn't want Towns even for "free", just because of his contract size and injury history.

@@scottwickett1273 I'm not super familiar with his injury history beyond this year's injury but his contract could be absorbed by this team because we have no big contracts and very little talent we NEED to pay any time soon.

Why do hate defense?

Look for wings again, look how that worked in last draft, got a wing defender and lost more then we have in NBA history. We need defensive big and post players.

@@dbuck2862 we need tall wings who can shoot. Not a player who will take the ball out of Cade’s hands or Cade takes the ball out of his. That is a short term fix but you are not building a championship contender that way.

@@MrTonyJ no we drafted wing for past few years, and signed wing and we continue to lose. GRANT, BEY, BOJAN, AUSAR, all wings that could defend and (or) shoot. And every season we have lose been losing. But our big have not been good, we do not have help side defender, shot blockers, rebounding big, post players, and etc. A majority of the team that winning in the NBA in top ranking in past season has Big that are good in the post, rebound and can shoot mid range shots. The past NBA champions have also had big that are great in post and shoot mid range shots well.

@@dbuck2862 This is still just extremely stupid, and comparing to a literal defending champ with a literal MVP is such an outlier that it doesn't help your argument in the least.

@@scottwickett1273 you are comparing MVP and Champs, i giving you a full details stats on what team have proven to work with player that are more scoring driven such as cade. and it it is usually not wing they work better with BIG. for the past 5 season those team have dominated in standing, team stats, and majority won championships, but they all were making the playoffs. I still have no clue what you are speaking of regarding MVPs that i talked about. The fact are CADE doesn't play well with other scoring options and wings, that why the pistons continue to trade these players.

Stew made 38% from deep this year.

@scottwickett1273 yeah I love stew but he is a back up center not a starting pf. His 38 percent is not on high volume and teams still don't guard him like that

@@King_Lou96 He is still the best 4 AND the best 5 on this roster as of now, which makes him a starting PF, albeit arguably only by default.

@scottwickett1273 that's what I'm saying bro, you are saying it's by default. That's why we need a star to come in at center or pf that can shoot great. Lauri would be nice but Utah wants way too much for him. KAT would fit nicely but wolves likely want to keep him after having a successful season. Pistons need to find out a way to get space for cade. I wanted porzingis before boston got him but we didn't make that move. Idk who else is out there that's attainable and shoots like those guys as the pf/center spot

u win in this lg with wings, not a 6”0 170 pg when we have cade.
