But yeah, trade Bradley and commit to tanking.

30 and 23 rebounds with five blocks and 3 steals.

Now imagine if he cared to play every game. Not like this was an easy matchup for him. He just showed up and decided to give consistent focus because he was mad.

This...

This is precisely the reason why he's so damn frustrating as a player. Games like tonight shows you what he can do, against one of the NBA's best bigs no less. Then he'll go into hibernation and disappear against crap teams like Charlotte and Brooklyn

So sick of hearing SVG after every game, he never has a good answer for anything.

Tank the season. Trade everyone including Drummond. Tank for 3 seasons. It's done. SVG needs to step down as a coach. His career is over after this season. We're going nowhere even if Jackson comes back and he'll probably ruin the team too. I'm not the guy to give up on a season like this. I'm not pessimistic. But when you lose one player and this is what happens, you gotta just give it up. There's not enough talent on the team. It's over

Because he knows he's the one screwing up. Pistons are done. SVG will lose the team this season if not already lost. It's over

I don't see how there are those even questioning it. He's a good player but should not be looked at as a guaranteed building block.

People say this as if there's guaranteed realistic scenarios that you know he turned down. I'll ask you, who and how?

Tobias and Avery with a combined 9-28 from the field for 19 points. If just one of them had a decent game we probably win this game

Drummonds trade value is at a all time high currently. I'd for sure be calling teams to see if we can get a deal a little less then the bulls got for Butler. They got a top 5 chosen 2nd year young guy, a young stud, and a lotto pick. Give me a young guy and a pick or two picks and im happy. Hello Cleveland that nets pick and your 1st for a guy who can crap on Gobert!

In SVG world role players are starters, and starters that are streaky scorers are all-stars

Such a good loss. Arena empty. The writing is on the wall. This era is over and the city/fans don’t care about this team or the arena. We know good ball, and this front office, roster and likely the owner aren’t going to cut it.

If Avery is here after the deadline or we make some sideways move for Mirotic or something we’ll be trapped in purgatory for another 2-4 years.

I’m scared for these next 2 weeks up to the deadline.

3-10 since Reggie got hurt, who knew he was so important to this team.

pistonsbball · Post #215 » by **pistonsbball** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 3:25 am

Lol this team. We have maybe like 2 nba starters and maybe 2 other guys that are nba rotation guys.

DetroitPistons · Post #216 » by **DetroitPistons** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 3:26 am

Harris and Bradley need to be traded for picks asap before their value continues to drop. I'm in full tank mode at this point. Build around Drummond and Kennard

DetroitPistons · Post #217 » by **DetroitPistons** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 3:30 am

If we dump Harris and Bradley we can have a lineup of Galloway, Kennard, Johnson, Tolliver, Drummond. That is sure to lose us a lot of games while developing Kennard. I wouldn't mind shutting Jackson and Drummond down for the season too.

Even if we dont sell anyone were going to lose a ton of games. Just looked at the upcoming schedule literally NO WAY we go 500 the rest of the season. If the pistons try to buy anyone and trade away Kennard/1st round pick to chase the 8 seed this season im so done until SVG is gone.

Bradley has to go hes in the way of Kennards development.

I feel like that's a wrap on our playoff hopes for sure. Philly, Milwaukee, and Indy are the teams we'd have to take out and they are all trending upwards. Us, not so much. Incredibly disappointing after such an amazing start to the season.

I thought the pacers were smoke and mirrors but Oladipo is the real deal. Hes made them a legit team this season. Thats why we need to move off are core guys and shake things up and see what happens during the off season.
