Did not realize that Frazier is 29 for some reason I was thinking he was part of the "youth movement" but not so much.

Frazier/Brown/Svi/Snell/Drummond.

That is an AWFUL, AWFUL starting unit.

I thought that 2013-2014 roster in the last year of the Dumars regime was the worst Pistons roster there'd ever been. This one is giving it a run for its money.

On a side note, the Pistons have only beaten Utah like 3 or 4 times since the start of the Reagan administration. That's including the relatively prosperous Bad Boys and Goin' To Work eras. Long winded way of saying this game is going to be ugly.

Yeah, even when we were a team capable of 60 wins in the 00s I always remember the Jazz having our number.

Yikes to this game.

Doubly so since Mitchell probably wanted to get drafted here and we picked Luke instead. I expect Mitchell to go for 40 tonight.

Drummond playing really good

Wow can't believe the Jazz only have 31 points with 2 minutes left in the first half. We're not that good defensively.

Dre trying to do too much on the offensive end.

Manocad · Post #15 » by **Manocad** » Tue Dec 31, 2019 4:07 am

And that's Dre in a nutshell--13 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks...and 7 TO's, 5 PF's and a -19 ranking. Stat line looks great until you break it down.

So Sekou can't even get a run with the bench warmers tonight?

bstein14 · Post #17 » by **bstein14** » Tue Dec 31, 2019 4:16 am

Feels like we have to get something out of Dre before the deadline... I wonder if the Towns/Wiggins combo could be on the table for Dre/Snell/Jackson.... I don't want Wiggins but if we could upgrade Dre into Towns it might be worth making that swap. Depends on how much Minny wants out of that Wiggins contract.

MotownMadness · Post #18 » by **MotownMadness** » Tue Dec 31, 2019 4:24 am

That puts us with the 7th pick at the moment

31.9% chance at a top 4 pick
7.5% shot at number 1

They will get a haul for Towns and not just use him in a trade to dump Wiggins. Plus Wiggins is playing better now anyways

So essentially you want the Pistons to be Timberwolves east which was the Pistons of last year basically, 1st round fodder. Not that the Wolves would ever consider that deal but I'd consider this worst case scenario outside of trading for DeRozan or something like that. Towns is another one of those stat stuffer guys who really isn't that good when it comes down to it because he can't defend, same with Wiggins. There's a reason why those guys have never done anything outside of the year Butler was there.

Any Drummond trade needs to bring picks back. No big contracts for flawed players in return please.
