Crap

[Inigo Montoya]

I just finished reading Homunculus and trepanation doesn't seem like a bad option right now. If you know you know.

[Inigo Montoya]

Is it me or does it seem like the team with the worst record in the league slid to 5th a lot of times over the past several seasons?

(From a Pistons fan)


Nope. Don't know what you are talking about. You are completely imagining things. It hasn't happened 3 years in a row...

Feels like the league is trying to send a message...

If you want to bottom out then isn't it better to keep the bad young players?

Get value in a trade for them. Seconds, whatever.

But we need the bad players to lose games.

We can just sign some gleague guys.

I guess. We'd still need to hit the salary floor though. Who would you move that fit the criteria of young bad players?

[Rauxcee]

Oof. That hurts. I'm not normally a conspiracy, its rigged person, but those top 2 teams are awfully suspicious.

[HadAnEffectHere]

This is probably Tre Johnson.

[Inigo Montoya]

This is probably Tre Johnson.

I would actually be happy with that outcome.

Williams for sure. I would consider Collier and George if they dont show improvements in the summer that are visible in summer league, workouts, etc.

Fair, though I think it may be a bit premature with Collier. And it's hard to imagine Williams could get any worse, might be a good idea to see if he can improve.

Lets be clear, you're really just talking about us (the Pistons). We fell to 5 three years in a row, twice in which we were the league's worst team, once when we were third (they have the same odds as a team in first).

Condolences to you guys from the fanbase that fully and completely understands how you're feeling right now. It's tough but you'll get through it.

I actually just came here to basically say the same thing. Funny. Not for Utah fans obviously - my condolences. We truly do understand your pain.

[MalonesElbows]

Welcome to the Jazz Egor Demin or Kon Knueppel (not sure which one they'll grab at 5). That said, don't think there is much difference from 3 down in this draft.

[Hoops Addict]

The NBA is corrupt.

The NBA made a deal with the Mavs to send Luka to the Lakers in exchange for the first pick. This is obvious. Of course, the Mavs would never trade Luka for an old often injured Davis.

San Antonio gets 2nd? What are the odds of that?

I hope the NBA shrivels up like a dookie in the desert....the NBA is fake.....the management are dishonest criminals.

Adam Silver looks evil.
A vampire.

[Daddy 801]

Mavs and Spurs... Tell me the NBA isn't rigged.

Clearly rigged. Such horsecrap. We have to go even harder on the tank now. Trade everyone get as many picks as possible.

Appreciate your thoughts, maybe one day we’ll get our Cade to be excited about to see us through. Although I’m not sure the NBA wants a team in Utah to be honest, seems odds are stacked squarely against us. Never moved up in the lottery and while not the same level as a Luka/Lebron/AD we’ve also lost our past three franchise players to bigger markets. Sure we traded Mitchell and Deron but the writing was on the wall.

[Inigo Montoya]

On a more positive note, the Cavs just imploded. Can't remember the last time a Mitchell-led team didn't end their playoffs run in a non-disappointing, non-humuliating way, even when it's not his fault.
