I agree with this, but Conely is a bit of an exaggeration. Bledsoe is literally the player we need aside from all his injury concerns.

We need a player that's not a liability on defense (Augustine every game and partially Elfrid) and a player that can hit the open 3 (not Elfrid). It would also help if he was a willing passer and knew how to break down a defense.....Bledsoe is that player wether anyone wants to agree and he can be had at a discounted rate.

Sure Augustine gets hot ever so often, but we need consistency. We're playing great because certain players have been consistent.

Players that should be on the block.

- Ross (I enjoy our depth, but if we can get a player like Dudley back in a Bledsoe trade then you do it and obviously promote Simmons)

- Augustine (for obvious reasons)

- Payton (ONLY if warranted)

- Hezonja/Biyombo/Iwundu/picks

Realistic players we should be looking at as a backup or starting

- George Hill
- Eric Bledsoe
- Schroeder
- Collison
- Dragic
- Holiday

I feel as we need to demonstrate we can compete THIS year so we can gain some interest around the league. We don't need to gut our team by any means, but if a difference maker can be had for the right price you do it, its simple as that. You ALWAYS try to get better.

So you don’t want Payton but you want Schroeder?


Again, only if its warranted.

Current Schroeder is better than current Payton by all measurements and I might even say has way more upside. He's practically the same age and is locked up on a good contract. He's a knuckle head sure, but put him on a team full of vets and a coach like Vogel and I'm sure he'll turn it around.

Schroeder is currently averaging 22ppg/1.8stl/6.8 assists a game and sporting a cool 22.6 per. Let's not act like he's some marginal player.

Lol! He is avg 22 ppg on 20 fga per game shooting 43% from field and 28% from three
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Simmons can shoot the 3
Four can shoot the 3
Ross can shoot the 3
Gordon can NOW shoot the 3
Vuc can NOW shoot the 3
Augustine can shoot the 3
Mack can shoot the 3
Speights can shoot the 3
Isaac can shoot the 3
Afflalo can shoot the 3
Hezonja can NOW shoot the 3

If they keep shooting and shots kept falling, basketball become so easy.

Shouldn't you be worried about your own team instead of obsessing over our team? What is that, 8 straight losses for the Pistons now and stuck in no man's land again at 9-10th in the east?

Why is this bum not perma-banned for constantly trolling?
