37 pts / 15 rebs on 17/22 shooting from the center spot. :o
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

It really puts into stark contrast the talent difference between wisemen/bagley and Stewie, I love beef but hes a backup talent wise.

I am at a loss as to why Joseph is taking off balance runners in the lane, and not dumping it down to Wiseman.

Holy crap. WHY.

I am absolutely loving this. Two bigs crashing the boards, going after the ball. Awesome.

Corey Joseph is just an ****. Plain and simple. No excuse for him to be shooting that shot, ever.

Cannot wait until he is a distant memory.

But if he did that trying to purposely assure the loss? He is a vet who may actually try to lose knowing it's best for the team. I hope he is gone next season, can't stand him, but I think Casey is close enough to him that he could actually ask him to help the tank.

Welp, the Pistons pretty much clinched 3rd and Wiseman looked good. That's all I got, can we put this season out of its misery already?
No Ivey and Duren makes them a really hard watch even though they battled at least.

I missed the game.

Looks like Wiseman and Bagley had good games, but so did Williams for the Hornets.

2018-2019 season. Had a 4, and 5 game winning streak.

Yes, its been that long.

Amazing tank loss tonight. Should secure the Pistons with the 3rd worst record.

Bagley can score and rebound. Can’t really defend.

Wiseman is the same, but taller, longer, younger.

Honestly, I’d be pretty happy with the Bey for Wise swap in isolation. It’s too bad we have all this money locked up in Bagley, too.

In the small sample Cade had with Bagley they were quickly successful. Having Bagley, Duren and Wiseman next season will give him plenty of options up top.

So I'm sitting here thinking about how a;

Cade
Ivey
VW
Bagley
Wiseman

Starting lineup would look offensively, and I think it'd be pretty damn explosive diarrhea .

Fixed that for ya :P


Fixed it for both of you :lol:

Right? Especially in a game like this, but in general, talented big men are the one thing we have going for us on our roster. But our active guards seem clueless about how to feed the post. Bagley and Wiseman were both super productive on offense without even getting good passes into the post pretty much the entire game.
