Your preferred offseason approach?

Moderators: dVs33, Cowology, theBigLip, Snakebites

Which of these BEST describes how you think we should approach the offseason?

I favor more or less running it back next year. This includes not trading core young pieces and attempting to bring back all or most of our veteran free agents

I favor light retooling. I don't want to trade any of our core young players but am open to saying farewell to some of our veteran free agents. Explore the free agent market and look for small to medium sized trades that keep major young players together.

I favor exploring significant change- I am open to dealing core young pieces and/or first round picks in order to make a win-now move.

I think major change should be the primary objective. The team should aggressively pursue all venues to add a major star in the offseason.

Your preferred offseason approach? 

Post#1 » by Snakebites » Fri May 2, 2025 2:57 am

I was hoping I wouldn't be making this thread tonight, but regrettably this evening does mark the start of the Pistons offseason.

I want to get a sense of where people are at in terms of how they think this offseason should be handled in terms of player movement. Each poll option represents an approach, with the top option being the most conservative and the bottom option being the most aggressive and in favor of major change. Think of them as a sliding scale- pick the one that is closest to the way you feel.

I'm making a couple of major assumptions in this poll:

1) Cade goes nowhere. Even the most aggressive option assumes he remains on the team. Don't hold back on picking that option just because you're not open to dealing Cade- I don't think the front office will consider that regardless.
2) Moves being made would be in the direction of getting better for this year, not heading in the direction of a rebuild (to me we're either buyers or we're running it back- I can't imagine us being sellers at this stage).

I’m glad we’re on the same page.

I tried to keep it simple.
