Its more about your comment of Drummond is good, but their other 4 starters are below average. Reggie clearly isn't a below average starting player... and Marcus is scoring 15 a night and grabbing 6 boards while playing great D while making 9th or 10th man money for the next 4 years. Plus, I think the coaching of SVG is going to play a large part in keeping Detroit a playoff team for the next half decade.

I called them below average starters, not below average players.

I could easily make a list of 15 better starting PGs better than Reggie Jackson as it's the deepest position in the league right now. I really don't think he's all that good. Poor range, indifferent passer, poor decision maker and now overpaid. He's been put in a role where he can monopolize the ball and he's currently helping sink the Pistons offense in that role so I think things speak for themselves. I think he'd be better used as a 3rd guard like he was in OKC. Morris and Ilyasova also weren't starters on their previous teams last season but are now and KCP hasn't proven that he's a starter during his 3 seasons as he's shooting crooked once again this season. Once Jennings returns that will be the biggest strength on the team as the Pistons will probably have the leagues best b/u PG situation. Johnson could end up being a difference maker but likely not this season. I think SVG is an excellent coach but has been a bad GM. The overall talent is weak and as mentioned previously, you lost Monroe for nothing and you're still paying Smith. Both those situations could have been handled much better.

I like. Get Ross, Powell or JJ on this.

Not saying I don't love Val but would have great flexibility right to create an amazing trade package worst case for some upgrade in talent at any position. To think how different the world would have been without Ross.

I'm not sure why Masai went with Stiemsma over Whiteside. I'm going to guess it was at the insistence of Casey, just like we passed on Drummond on the insistence of that clown as well. Our GMs are morons for listening to him.

I wonder when Casey will get blamed for RealGM servers by some people.

This might be one of the most impressive quarters I've seen in a long time. They wiped out the champs in the first ten minutes

Luke Walton forgetting to call a timeout, Clips just running up the score.

the days of Blake Griffin being unable to make an outside shot or FT are long gone.

I am thoroughly enjoying this beat down of the Warriors.

Clips look determined to end GSWs winning streak tonight

He's even sporting a hitch free shot. Blake Griffin has been a bonafied top 5 player for the past 2 years.

Surprised to hear that was Blake's first three of the year.

Austin and Jamal decided it was too much of a beatdown.

I wouldn't blame them directly. Warriors have just woken up a bit.

I am so confused by what I just saw. Did they think it was an inbound play?
