Yeah, but why would Minnesota take on another post player with Karl Anthony Town in the fold? I am all for going for the Pistons throwing something together for this season, likely losing Butler, and spiraling into a loser the season after next. I hate being in the middle ground, which I think is the best case scenario going forward for the next few years. I don't know for sure that taking on Butler makes the Pistons serious conference contenders, but I am fine with taking that chance. And I don't think it is a lost cause if Butler leaves. As the article that was posted by Biggs mentions, there's a lot of miles on Butler. The contract he is looking for has the potential to be scary at the end. The Pistons already have that with Griffin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buddha 859 Posted September 26, 2018 i dont think the pistons can trade their 2019 first rounder because they traded their 2018 first rounder. i think it has to be the 2020 pick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Bigglesworth 3,207 Posted October 3, 2018 Does anyone know if Del is ok? He would normally be posting with the start-up of the new season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curious to see how it plays out with the personnel he has. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sydney_Fife 368 Posted October 8, 2018 Jackson, Kennard, Bullock, Griffin, Drummond starting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney_Fife 368 Posted October 8, 2018 Drummond shooting threes. This might take a couple years off my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney_Fife 368 Posted October 8, 2018 Crabbe just turned an ankle. With opening night 9 days away, that could be crucial since he shoots like Steph Curry against us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney_Fife 368 Posted October 8, 2018 I know it’s preseason, but the Pistons playing very hard defensively so far. Rotating much smoother than what I’ve seen in the past. Zaza is in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney_Fife 368 Posted October 8, 2018 Pistons getting great looks. Just can’t make anything so far. Looks like a preseason basketball game. Snooze fest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
