We’re actually favoured to beat the hornets! Let’s do it.

Even better! (and thanks!)

Seems like Charlotte and Washington are worse off than we are... Mikal Bridges has been complaining a lot recently, about his minutes, his team tanking, and their fans, saying it's hard to play home games when it feels like road games. I would LOVE to get him on our team, and would trade anyone except Cade to get him.

Mikal Bridges is going to take a lot more than that to acquire.

You do mean Mikal Bridges of Brooklyn, not that awful human being Miles Bridges of Charlotte, right? There is no way Miles Bridges should be considered for our team at any price.

There are several players on the Nets that the Pistons could really use.

I'll say this;

If the Pistons land a top 3 pick, they should use it in a trade for Bridges. It would greatly lower the other assets Brooklyn would want in return, in terms of players.

Cade
Ivey
Bridges
Whatever
Duren

Thats of course assuming none of those players are used in the trade, but with a top 3 pick coming back, its gonna be tough to ask for a prospect as well.

Ivey is shooting 31% from 3. Playing a lot of hero ball and making dumb mistakes that are costing us close games and is playing putrid defense.

He need to do a lot better than that before he would be in "my" starting lineup next season because this version of Jaden Ivey does not fit with Cade and Duren.

Yes, right. I've made that mistake before, but I really think Mikal Bridges could thrive on the Pistons, and he brings what we needs.

Is Cade friends with him? It seems like the players are doing a lot of navigating. The Pistons won't trade for a guy who doesn't wanna be there, who'll bolt after his contract is up... I hope Cade being with Team USA for a while help built relationships.

Cool cool... Just checking since we play Charlotte tonight.

Mikal would be great with the team we have.

[MortSahlfan]

Cade downgraded to questionable. Maybe this is a way to let Killian off gently? Look to see how Monte does before relegating him to towel waiver?

Yeah that's weird the guy was only out 2 weeks.

I get that they're being overly cautious since Monty did grind him down like fine salt in the initial 25 games or so. Strange they wouldn't just give him a minutes restriction or off the bench role to start? Lord knows we could use bench mob help

[bstein14]

I agree if his conditioning isn't there yet just play him 5-6 minutes each quarter so he gets plenty of rest between each time out there. Seems like a lame excuse I doubt he was just sitting on a coach binge eating for two weeks.

[Patrick27]

It's been a tough year, but win or lose, it sure is great to hear George Blaha and Gregory Kelser calling the game. Not sure how many more years we get with those guys.

I hope they are the last guys I see calling a Pistons game. Especially Blaha.

"Blaha has missed only three games since 1976 due to illness. He has had a variety of color analysts including former Detroit Pistons players John Mengelt, Dave Bing, Vinnie Johnson, Kelly Tripucka, Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, and current partner Greg Kelser."

Cade not playing is super disappointing. Don't care about Morris at all anymore.
