    How do we view Jalen Carter?

    Coming into the off-season, Jalen Carter was considered a top prospect in the draft (the actual highest rated prospect on a lot of big boards). However, it's not been the best cycle for him. He plead no contest to street racing (which led to the death of a teammate, though not his fault). And...

    Top 5 Prospects

    With 5 games left in the season, the Pistons are a full three games "ahead" in the race to the bottom of the standings. Notwithstanding a massive upset in these last games, the Pistons will end the season with the worst record. So, which are everyone's favorite five prospects in the draft? We...

    Vegas Summer League

    The Pistons played at midnight this morning. Because of the ungodly hour, I have not watched yet. So I can't comment much. The stats look fine, but must have been an ugly game with 63 (!) fouls called. https://www.nba.com/game/por-vs-det-1522200002/box-score#box-score

    2022 NBA Draft

    Pistons select Jaden Ivey with the fifth pick. This seems like a coup, as Jaden is widely considered the 4th best prospect (and a full tier ahead of the Keegan Murrays and Shaedon Sharpe's out there). There seems to be a trade also, where Detroit lands Jalen Duren at 13 for some form of cap...

    Pistons trade for Bol Bol

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33027857/sources-detroit-pistons-acquire-bol-bol-denver-nuggets-rodney-mcgruder-2nd-round-pick Pistons send out Rodney McGruder and a 2022 2nd rounder from Brooklyn. This is a very low risk move on both sides, and expectations should be equally low. Bol Bol...

    ESPN: What the Pistons could get for the #1 pick

    The other day, ESPN proposed 5 different trades for the #1 pick. I think only one is legitimately worth taking, two are worth considering (under specific circumstances), and the other two are just trash. The one worth taking: OKC sends Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the 6th pick for the 1st pick...

    Derrick Rose traded

    Reports out that Rose was traded to the Knicks for Dennis Smith jr. and a second round pick. In a vacuum, this seems like a pretty standard deal. Rose this year has been inefficient as a scorer, but still a decent shot creator off the bench. He's not a shooter or great defender. Getting a...

    NBA Free Agency 2020

    It's barely passed the start of free agency, but the Pistons already to have signed Mason Plumlese for 3 years and 25 million. Plumlee probably isn't worth that much as a career backup who can't shoot and isn't a great defender, but they team had to pay somebody, and Plumlee knows his role...

    Jimmy Butler to the Sixers

    http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25233742/minnesota-timberwolves-trading-jimmy-butler-philadelphia-76ers Jimmy Butler is being traded to the 76ers for Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless, and a 2nd round pick. Very win-now move for Philly, and probably a great one. Butler is a good...

    Lions trade for Damon Harrison and is voted Lions Defensive Player of 2018

    Whoa, talk about plugging a hole. We arguably just picked up the best run defender in the league. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25068826/giants-trade-dt-damon-harrison-lions-5th-round-pick

    Draft watch?

    Once again, the Red Wings are bad at just about everything. Can't score 5 on 5, can't slow down opponents, and taking too many penalties. Both of our goalies have been sieves. Some of this, of course, will regress to something closer to average. But short of a massive breakout from multiple...

    OSU This week

    After a thriller win over Penn St, the team has to turn right around and take on the league's one consistent powerhouse. No one is giving us a chance, and the spread is as high as OSU by 17. I don't disagree with most of the sentiment thrown around. OSU has played at a much higher level than...

    Pistons sign Langston Galloway - 3 years, $21 million

    No one else seemed to bring it up, but the Pistons did make a "move" in free agency, picking up a competent but extremely limited backup guard. Galloway is a potentially above average three point shooter (more likely average) who plays potentially good defense (last year he seemed to take a step...

    Rebuilding the Wings

    I think all of us can agree this has been a pretty disappointing season, and there is little reason to suspect it will get much better. Given that, I think it is fairly obvious the team should finally turn their attention to rebuilding. This is even more important now, as the upcoming expansion...

    Jekyll and Hyde

    What is going on with the pistons? Currently 4-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. At home they win by an average of 18 points per game. On the road, they lose by an average of 19 points per game. That is an insane disparity. Obviously it is early in the season. Sample size is small. But there's not...

    Stafford ranked as 11th most accurate passer

    http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2016/2015-passing-plus-minus Espn only listed the top 10, but its nice to see Stafford being the next man up. Per the article, this is the second straight season where Stafford was positive, and he was noticeably better under JBC. As someone who...

    What would it take?

    This question is posed to both sides of the theist/atheist debate. I'm not posing this to make an example of anyone, I just honestly want to know. If you can, please provide as much specificity as you can. If you are an atheist, what would it take to convince you that there is a god? If you...

    Pistons trade Dinwiddie

    http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/16284453/detroit-pistons-trade-spencer-dinwiddie-chicago-bulls-cameron-bairstow The Pistons have traded reserve PG Spencer Dinwiddie to the Bulls for reserve F Cameron Bairstow. In reality, this is a trade of flotsam for jetsam. Neither player has shown much...

    Florida State pays off rape victim with nearly 1 million dollars

    Spartans drop in polls again

    After continued lackluster performances, MSU drops again from 4th to 7th in the AP Poll. I can't fault the voters here at all, MSU simply hasn't looked like a top team since the injury bug hit. Whether you expect them to win next week or not, it's actually a perfect time to be facing a highly...
