This is exactly the sort of player the Pistons should be looking for: incredible longevity, tons of experience, in great shape (swims all day), eats a balanced diet, and 10+ feet tall.

Many references are made to the 14-win roster as if it was simply an inevitable disaster of its own accord. I think it could have achieved double that tally if it hadn't been destroyed by the worst NBA coaching performance in decades. The roster has issues but isn't THAT bad.
Mike Breen calling a Pistons postseason game 🥲 This was only eight years ago, but it feels like a dream.

I'm not sure either team would do the Bridges trade. The Pistons would be punting on ceiling. The Nets, whose first-round picks are owned by Houston through 2027, would be betting on two raw prospects who are both far from sure things and had very mixed-bag sophomore seasons.

I'm looking forward to seeing this same sort of crowd energy for the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena someday. The Palace was an intimidating environment for opponents to play in during the Going to Work era. Here's hoping LCA can be that too in the future. (Watch with sound on)
TAKE NOTE: that headline is unambiguously false and amounts to a deliberate distortion of the facts by its author. All that was said on the topic was Scotto idly speculating that "There’s a possibility Detroit will look to sign a free agent like Tobias Harris or Miles Bridges."

Let's take this moment to remind ourselves that Troy Weaver had James Wiseman ahead of Anthony Edwards on his 2020 draft board.

When Tobias isn't a featured option, he has a habit of outright disappearing from the offense. It's been a problem as far back as his days with the Pistons.

Also, my sincerest gratitude goes out to those who reached out throughout the season with kind words about my content. Knowing that you've enjoyed it makes all the hours of work worthwhile.

I know this has been said a zillion times and is a common staple in end-of-season content, but I'll say it anyway (and mean it!): one of the few bright spots of this season for me has been talking basketball on here with all of you! Here's hoping for brighter Pistons days ahead.
Murray plays alongside Sabonis and Fox, two all-star-caliber veteran scorers who create a ton of open looks for him and free him from the need to do so for himself. 84% of his FGs this season were assisted. Detroit's two best players at the time of that draft were Cade and Bey.

Whomever the Pistons hire, I hope he makes full personnel control (including coach and GM) a condition of accepting the job. It's the only reasonable hope we have of Weaver and Monty being replaced.

Weaver has made bad bets throughout his tenure. Blowing $20m on the Harris cap dump was the result of three more: 1) Stewart giving good PF minutes despite lacking the qualities to do so 2) Livers staying healthy (lol) and doing well 3) Raw rookie Ausar contributing on offense

So says the guy who has done more to make his team worse than any other NBA coach in recent memory. Of all the professional coaches I've ever seen, Monty is the greatest fraud. He makes Doc Rivers look brilliant and honest by comparison.

I've seen a lot of "Monty is a good coach" floating around NBA circles this season (especially on broadcasts) based on his history. Monty WAS (the past tense is essential here) a good coach prior to this season. He has been a humongous catastrophe as head coach of the Pistons.

Monty Williams is a player killer. Turned a promising rookie who ended his first season as a strong starter into a bench role player to give Killian Hayes 31 starts. Brilliant motivational techniques. Maybe the worst Pistons head coach ever. And there have been plenty of duds.

I think Monty Williams poor coaching affected the development, in a negative way, of the young players. #pistons #DetroitBasketball Ivey. Duren. Sasser. Ausar. I almost want to put an asterisk on their seasons.
I’ve seen Andre Drummond do this single-handedly almost 50 times in his career
@ToTheBasketPod Yeah I really don't see Brooklyn giving up that 2025 first in the deal.
@DuncanSmithNBA Would’ve been fun to see booker play behind killian to start the year as Monty figures out his rotations
The 2023-24 Detroit Pistons accepted this challenge with gusto
@ToTheBasketPod @KoryEWoods Couldn’t agree more I was watching highlights from cades rookie year and Dwayne had them full court pressing in the 1st quarter I haven’t seen that once at anytime since Monty became coach
Got two emails about this story — “who cares” and “please pass these Ausar coaching tips to the staff”

We don't even have a new president yet. Any "intel" up to this point is speculation
Several NBA executives believe there is a chance Tobias Harris will sign with the Detroit Pistons in free agency, per @PompeyOnSixers (Via bit.ly/3Jq1DmN)
Sam Presti has drafted 37 guys on to Seattle/OKC since he took the job in 2007 15 of the 37 are bonafide HITS. That's a 40.5% success rate If you're worried about being wrong or not WILLING to be wrong... GO DO SOMETHING ELSE
Detroit Pistons media availability: Troy Weaver is "stepping in wet cement" this offseason
Utah Jazz media availability: Danny Ainge is “big game hunting” this offseason trib.al/Z4V1qqs
The new POBO to Troy and Monty on the first day on the job: #DetroitBasketball
Hope it’s a quick meeting
Monty: "I told them in my opinion, we have dug the trenches for the foundation of this organization." Said next step is pouring the concrete this offseason and seeing whose fingerprints will be on it. Monty's meeting with Troy Weaver tomorrow.
Fine I’ll do it

Jaden Ivey scored 7 points tonight… (if they don’t move him in the offseason) I really hope they get a new head coach and Ivey takes off in year three I still believe in him so much, but man this season has been tough to witness #DetroitBasketball
Yall know what happened to Coby White after a disappointing 2nd season? They benched him for two years and made him earn his starting spot back.
A lot of people (myself included) get frustrated with Jaden Ivey, but the reason you don't give up easily on a guy like that is because of the jump dudes like Coby White make. Even after an up and down start to a career, a big jump can happen over one off-season.
