Do the Bulls have anything to play for? Are they locked in at #10?

Yeah they lost their tie breaker with the raps so they’re locked in to the 10th seed.

There is a world where panty-bunched pistons fans acknowledge that both killian and cojo are legitimate nba players.

If Killian was drafted to a team fighting for a playoff spot the past 3 seasons, he would have not been in the rotation and barely played his first three years... He's still young and has potential to get there but he hasn't been even a slightly below average backup PG in the league the last 3 seasons... he's been one of the 5 worst regular rotation players (16+ MPG in 30+ games played each year) in each of his first 3 seasons. Its certainly possible that next year he will work himself into a close to average backup PG but he's still got a long ways to go to get there IMO.

Lol, what 3 seasons, he has played TWO seasons of nba ball on the court. So next year Cade will be starting his 3rd year of on-court nba experience? You can bet Cade haters will be implying that next year will be his 3rd season of nba experience.

Finally this tough season is over. Piston fans can now look to all good stuff for the near future--lottery, draft, Summer league, Cade back and the hope of a new season.

Worst season ever. Thank God it's over.

I hope to never see Killian **** Hayes in a Pistons uniform ever again.

Hopefully Casey is done. I like him and the team being this bad is not his fault, but Casey canned means we're one important step closer to Weaver getting axed.

I hope to never see laughable statements like yours. Yeah, get rid of our best defender, best passer, best controller of the offense at 21 years old with 2 seasons of nba experience, lol, just brilliant.

You hopes will fall on deaf ears. Killian is here to stay and will be better than ever.

Dude balled out again. You are seeing his potential.

-1.1 VORP
-4.1 BPM
45.1% TS Which is close to his average TS%
Worst player in the NBA

I hope he stay and play significant minutes next season. That means Weaver would be fired next season, after another sub 20 win season and this nightmare would end.

Lol, another who goes looking for variable skewed numbers to tell him what he is seeing on the court.

Obviously he is our best defender best passer, and best controller of the offense that calms it down and keeps it in better control. Casey said as much earlier in the season and it couldn't be more obvious watching the games.

As soon as Killian left the game today late, the offense and defense fell apart almost immediately.

Uh, DEFENSE MATTERS!! Calm control of the offense matters. And of course, same in this game, Killian caused team turnovers by the Bulls that won't show on his stats, no stl for them, but he got us the possession. I've been watching him do that all year.

Again, it would be dumb to get rid of our best defender, passer, Pg. And it isn't like we will have to pay him a ton. He is perfect running our bench next season.

And also, if we get say, Miller or higher, that will be 3 guys who rightfully will see themselves as guys who should be all stars. How long would Cade, Ivey, Miller and some other scorer be happy scoring 17 a night and not even make an all star team? IMO, it would be tough to keep even 3 guys who expect that of themselves enough shots to keep them happy. So you need guys like Duren and Killian that specialize in other things like defense, rebounding, blocking, passing and offensive control in order to have a chance to keep 3 guys happy who all see themselves as guys that should be near the top of the league in scoring and that should be considered a star.

So getting rid of Killian? That would be a horrible move.

Keeping the offense calm has to be the most optimistic possible way of saying a player creates no offense with the ball in his hands.

I hope Killian Hayes starts next year.

He deserves it.

I'm guessing Casey wanted an extension. I wonder how he does help? Like an attorney on call?

Rough season, but this off-season of waiting will be even worse. Next month is the lottery, so let's hope.. I read Udoka is a potential candidate. We're not a title contending team, so we're not going to have to watch his every step (someone else will, anyway)
